SHEZEN Real Kiwi

How To Make

  1. Fill a shaker halfway with ice. Add all ingredients (omit gin for the low-proof version, adjust syrup and Aperol as listed).
  2. Shake vigorously until well chilled then strain into an old fashioned glass with ice.
  3. Finish with a single spray of Pernod over the top. Garnish with a thin kiwi wheel on the rim or floated on top.
  4. Kanpai!

Tip: The spray of Pernod adds a beautiful aromatic lift, but absinthe makes for a wonderful substitute as well— make sure to hold it 6–8 inches above the glass so it mists evenly without overpowering the drink.
