Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 3 Kiwi
- 0.25 cup Orange liqueur (e.g., Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash all the fruit thoroughly under cold running water.
Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Peel the kiwi and slice it into thin rounds or small chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, pineapple chunks, blueberries, and kiwi slices.
Add the orange liqueur, dark rum, honey, and lemon juice to the fruit. Mix gently to ensure all the fruit is coated in the liquid mixture.
Chop the fresh mint leaves finely and sprinkle them over the fruit. Toss the mixture lightly to distribute the mint evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Optionally, serve with a few ice cubes in each bowl/glass to keep the dessert chilled and refreshing.
Garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and enjoy!
