How it is made

The fruit is harvested when ripe, and its flesh is typically eaten raw or used in various culinary applications, including cocktails.
History
Kiwi was first cultivated in China and was known as the Chinese gooseberry. It was later introduced to New Zealand in the early 20th century, where it was renamed 'kiwi' after the native flightless bird. The fruit gained popularity in the United States in the 1960s and has since become a staple in fruit salads and cocktails.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use fresh kiwi fruit in cocktails to add a unique flavor and vibrant color. It can be muddled into drinks, used as a garnish, or blended into smoothies and frozen cocktails. When using kiwi, it's best to pair it with other tropical fruits or citrus to enhance its natural sweetness and tartness.
