Begin by taking a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker and placing your sliced kiwi and strawberries inside. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the fruit for about 30 seconds, releasing their juices and creating a vibrant mix.

Next, pour in freshly squeezed lemon juice, about 1-2 tablespoons, followed by your simple syrup. Stir gently with a bar spoon or shake everything together for about 15-20 seconds.

If you prefer a smoother texture, take a fine mesh strainer and place it over a glass filled with ice. Carefully pour the mixture through the strainer.

Pour a splash of soda water slowly over the strained mixture until the glass is about three-quarters full.

For an enticing touch, take a few fresh mint leaves and gently slap them between your palms to release their aromatic oils. Nestle the mint atop your mocktail.
