From a Pot: Refreshing Kiwi Cocktail
Refreshing Kiwi Cocktail
Refreshing Kiwi Cocktail ready in just five minutes.
I got some extra homegrown kiwis from my family when they came to visit, and I got inspired to make cocktails with kiwis. It turned out better than I expected. It tastes kinda like a classic mojito, but with a bit of kiwi aftertaste. So if you like kiwis and refreshing cocktails, you’ll love this. This drink can also be easily made into a mocktail.
You can find kiwis at your local store all year round, which is perfect because that means that this cocktail can be made all year round. :) It’s perfect for parties or for long summer nights when you're chilling at the balcony with your friends.

Notes:
- Sweetener
- I didn’t add any extra sweetener to the drink because it's sweet enough for my taste. I find that kiwi gives the cocktail enough sweetness on its own. If you like your drink to be sweeter, you can add some simple syrup or maple syrup.
- White rum
- You don’t want dark rum for this drink, so make sure your rum is clear.
- Soda
- I used Sprite because I had it on hand, but you can also use Schweppers tonic water, for example.
- Not a fan of rum?
- If you don’t like rum, you can use vodka or maybe gin.
- Flavours
- Thinking about flavour combinations, this will also be perfect paired with some grapes or strawberries.
Fun Facts:
- Did you know that kiwis come in many different varieties? You can even get purple kiwis these days. There are over 60 different species of kiwi fruits.
- They are native to China but have spread to New Zealand in the early 20th century. It was then that the first commercial planning began to develop.
- Nowadays, over 70% of all kiwi production takes place in Italy, New Zealand and Chile.
- The kiwi fruit was named after a kiwi bird. New Zealand national bird. It’s important that I mention that the bird is small brown, and it looks so fluffy.
- Kiwis are low in sugar and calories. An average kiwi fruit has 46 calories. They are packed with vitamin C, more than oranges. They are also rich in vitamin A and E.
- Nowadays, we mostly use them as a snack or as a fruit in smoothies and desserts but in China, where they originate from, they were traditionally given as a medicine to children to facilitate their growth.
