The Kiwano Cocktail was created while I was playing with the fruit and trying to use it in recipes. I love the look of it and I wound up making a great Kiwano Salsa and then used the fruit to make m Tortilla Chips with Kiwano Salsa, Kiwano Guacamole & Kiwano Yogurt Dip. So much fun and really tasty. The only thing missing was a cocktail. So here it is. Kiwano has a very mild taste but a fabulous green color! So, this looks like a great summer drink…add a fresh flower or an umbrella and you are ready for the pool! The taste of kiwano is very subtle so the lemon juice and sweetness from the 7up create a light and refreshing taste. It is simple enough to make and definitely a great way to try the fruit if it is new to you. Makes a great conversation starter too. Like this drink?
