What if my Golden Kiwi Margarita is too thick or pulpy?
Shake the drink again, then pour it through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass with fresh ice.
Why: The kiwi may not have been muddled completely, or its pulp may be especially dense.
Watch for: Press gently rather than forcing thick pulp through the strainer so the finished drink remains smooth.
What if the margarita tastes too tart?
Add agave nectar 1 teaspoon at a time, shake again with ice and taste after each addition.
Why: Fresh lime juice varies in acidity, and the golden kiwi may be less ripe than expected.
Watch for: Stop when the kiwi flavor becomes clear again; too much agave can make the cocktail heavy.
What if the margarita tastes too sweet?
Add fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon at a time, shake again with ice and taste.
Why: A very ripe golden kiwi, the orange liqueur and the full tablespoon of agave can combine to produce more sweetness than expected.
Watch for: Adjust only after the drink is fully chilled because cold temperature and ice dilution change the perceived sweetness.
What can I substitute for golden kiwi?
Use 1 ripe green kiwi in the same way, then taste the mixed drink before deciding whether it needs a little additional agave.
Why: Green kiwi provides similar fruit body and seeds but is usually more tart than golden kiwi.
Watch for: The finished margarita will be greener and sharper, so make any sweetness adjustment gradually.
What can I substitute for Cointreau or Grand Marnier?
Use 1 oz. of another orange liqueur or triple sec.
Why: Orange liqueur supplies sweetness and concentrated citrus flavor that connects the kiwi, lime and tequila.
Watch for: Different orange liqueurs vary in sweetness and intensity, so taste the chilled drink before adding any extra agave.
