Kiwifruit Take Cocktails from Ordinary to Extraordinary

Here are easy-to-follow suggestions to help you create drinks that are out of the world.

	Whenever possible, use fresh fruit in your drinks. Avoid bar mixes and artificial substitutes or concentrates. Cut and scoop kiwifruit into a blender with your other ingredients and liquors. Do not over-blend, as crushed kiwifruit seeds can lend a bitter flavor.
	Make your drinks look as good as they taste. Top cocktails with a slice of fresh fruit or a candied kiwifruit chip. Garnish with a single element of the drink to make for an appealing, refreshing drink.

	Explore drinks with all your senses. Taste everything. How can you craft a great drink if you haven't tasted all the ingredients? Use ZESPRI® GREEN Kiwifruit for a tangy, refreshing accent, and ZESPRI® GOLD Kiwifruit for a tropical twist. Select ripe kiwifruit that feel slightly soft to the touch, like a ripe peach or avocado. Avoid kiwis that are too soft or that have wrinkled skin.

	Think seasonally. Use fruits that are fresh, ripe and in season. Celebrate ZESPRI® Kiwifruit and the first local strawberries in June, the first blueberries or raspberries in July and figs in August. ZESPRI® Kiwifruit is in season May through November.
	It's about the journey – not the destination. Always enjoy cocktails responsibly. Kiwifruit cocktails also adapt easily into delicious "mocktails" too.
