Rosemary Kiwi Cocktail
A Rosemary Kiwi Cocktail is refreshing and fragrant. It combines the distinct flavors of rosemary and kiwi to delight your taste buds.
At a recent trip to our local wholesale store, my youngest daughter decided that we must have kiwi! I love kiwi so in spite of the fact that there were twelve of them in the container, I allowed them into the giant cart.
After peeling and eating several kiwis, the family was tired of them. I was left wondering what to do with the remaining kiwis, and a fruit salad wasn’t going to cut it. My mind works in unique ways, and after taking stock of the items that I had on hand, I decided to make a cocktail.
I started with kiwi and lemon which tasted nice due to the sweetness of the ripe kiwi, but it wasn’t what I was going for, so I stood in my kitchen, deep in thought.
As is customary for those deep in thought, I was also looking around the room for inspiration when my eyes landed on one of my favorite herbs, rosemary. I have it growing in my kitchen all year round and use it as often as I can.
My sense of smell told me that rosemary could work with the kiwi, so I popped some in the herb grinder and added it to the mix. Along with a tablespoon of honey to sweeten it up, it was the exact flavor profile that I wanted!
This Rosemary Kiwi Cocktail may have some extra steps, but it is well worth it!
