Review

The citrus hints in the kiwi combine brilliantly with those in the gin and fresh lemon juice.

Turns out kiwi pulp is even more annoying to strain that strawberry...

made to spec- and strained into two chilled, small vintage stemmed glasses for myself and partner. Caveat - used an open bottle of Italian Imperiale Dry Gin. Quite acceptable but would make with a strong juniper forward gin next time. Great for mini martinis.

I love this drink. Kiwi goes very well with the gin. Try golden kiwis too ;)

I just made it and I thought my kiwi was just too ripe, because it was more yellow than regular one. I've never heard of golden kiwi, but when I googled it after seeing your comment, I realized I bought it!

For something so garishly green the kiwi flavor was surprisingly subtle, allowing the gin to shine.
