Q&A

ORIGINS_HISTORY

Where does kiwi originally come from and how did it become popular in cocktails?

Kiwi, originally known as Chinese gooseberry, hails from China. It was introduced to New Zealand in the early 20th century, where it was cultivated and renamed kiwifruit. Its refreshing taste and vibrant green color quickly made it popular in cocktail making worldwide. Kiwi Offers a unique sweet and tart flavor profile, making it a favored ingredient for adding a fresh twist to traditional cocktails and inspiring new creations.

PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES

What are the best ways to prepare kiwi for use in cocktails?

To use kiwi in cocktails, start by peeling its fuzzy brown skin as it's generally not used in drinks. The green flesh can then be muddled, pureed, or sliced depending on the desired texture and flavor intensity in the cocktail. Muddling releases the kiwi's juices and flavors, pureeing creates a smooth texture perfect for daiquiris or smooth cocktails, and slicing is ideal for garnishes or lightly flavored drinks.
