Kiwi Lemon
ส่วนผสม
- Kiwi liqueur 1 part
- Bitter lemon 2 parts
- Ice cubes
วิธีทำ
Mix in highball glass. Stirr. Garnish with slice of kiwi.
Kiwi Lemon is a simple, refreshing highball that pairs kiwi liqueur with bitter lemon soda over ice, allowing the sweet-tart kiwi flavor to be lifted by the lemon soda's effervescence and natural bitterness. It is an exceptionally easy-to-make drink that delivers a distinctive tropical flavor profile with minimal effort. The kiwi liqueur's vivid green color makes it visually attractive.
History & Origins
Kiwi-flavored liqueurs gained popularity in Europe and the United States during the 1990s as exotic fruit flavors entered the spirits market following New Zealand's emergence as a major fruit exporter. The combination with bitter lemon — a carbonated mixer long popular in the UK — reflects European aperitif and shandy traditions. The exact origin of this specific combination is disputed.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Sweet, tropical kiwi and zesty lemon, fresh and light. Palate: Sweet and lightly bitter — the kiwi liqueur's tropical sweetness is cut by the bitter lemon's natural quinine bitterness and citrus tartness, creating a refreshing and well-balanced profile. Finish: Clean and slightly bitter, with a kiwi-tropical sweetness on the tail.
Pro Tip
Garnish with a thin slice of fresh kiwi fruit on the rim to reinforce the tropical flavor and add a visually appealing green accent.
