Kiwi Colada

Here's a fun twist on the classic summertime umbrella drink. Kiwifruit and melon liqueur give the cocktail a green hue and slightly tangy flavor. Although we used green kiwi, you can substitute the golden variety for a sweeter taste and golden color.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 3/4 cup)

Ingredients

• 5  peeled kiwifruit, divided
• 3  cups  ice
• 1/4  cup  light rum
• 1/4  cup  Midori (melon-flavored liqueur)
• 3  tablespoons  Cream of Coconut (such as Coco Lopez)
• 1  (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained

Preparation

Cut 4 kiwifruit into quarters, and place in a blender. Set remaining kiwifruit aside. Add ice and remaining ingredients to blender; process until smooth. Strain mixture through a sieve into a pitcher; discard seeds. Divide evenly among 6 glasses. Cut remaining kiwifruit into 6 slices; garnish each glass with 1 kiwifruit slice.
