Green Monster Kiwi Pineapple Punch
Makes 9 cups, or 12 servings
3 kiwi, halved, plus additional kiwi, sliced, for garnish
1 ½ pounds pineapple (about 1 large), diced
2 limes, juiced
½ cup packed mint leaves, plus additional sprigs for garnish
4 cups brewed decaffeinated green tea, room temperature
2 (12-ounce) cans natural or sugar-free lemon lime soda, or 2 cups vodka
2 drops of green food coloring, optional
1. Using a soup spoon, scoop the kiwi flesh into a blender. Add the pineapple, lime juice, and mint. Pour in the green tea and drops of food coloring if using and blend well.
2. Pour the liquid through a fine-meshed sieve, pressing down on the solids with a ladle, into a punch bowl. Chill for at least 2 hours.
3. If you like your punch bubbly (and alcohol-free), add 2 cans of soda just before serving. Or spike it with vodka. Serve in punch cups or glasses over ice, garnished with a slice of kiwi and sprig of mint.
