If you’re going to be celebrating for hours, like on New Year’s Eve, consider serving a few lighter drinks.  This Kiwi Lillet gimlet is less intoxicating than a more potent cocktail, and can be prepared by the pitcher, so guests can easily serve themselves from the bar or banquet table.

Kiwi Lillet Gimlet

Serves: 8 – 10   Prep: Allow at least 2 hours for freezing the kiwi slices

Ingredients

• 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
• 4 cups Lillet blonde
• 1/2 cup club soda
• 1/4 cup gin
• fresh mint leaves
• 2 cups of ice

Directions: Freeze the sliced kiwi in a single layer on a sheet pan, lined with parchment paper.  In the pitcher, combine the Lillet, club soda, gin and min.  Add the frozen kiwis and 2 cups of ice.  Stir to combine.  Serve in highball glasses, and garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
