This twist on a Collins from Ariana Johnson of Modus lets the ingredients speak for themselves. The sugar and the kiwiberries are sweet and sour, and shochu takes the place of gin. Kiwiberries have a similar flavor
to regular kiwis, but with a guavalike note. If substituting peeled kiwi, add a splash of apple juice to soften the tartness. This cocktail is low in alcohol and is perfect when you’re looking for something light and refreshing. Ariana prefers to use Ku Soju, which is made from sweet potatoes.

This cool and refreshing tonic from Monsoon was inspired by the powerful antioxidant benefits of green tea. If your local liquor store doesn’t carry Zen Green Tea Liqueur from Suntory, why not try one of the recipes for homemade green liqueur that can be found online?
