Top Tip
You can easily peel kiwi with a shape paring knife or a vegetable peeler for a safe and quick option. (I always save the kiwi skin and eat it as it has a ton of nutrients in it!)

Common Questions
Using ripe kiwis is a must for this drink recipe. When you're at the grocery store or farmer's market, pick the best, ripest kiwis. To do this, give them a gentle squeeze. Ripe kiwis should have a slight softness to them. You can also give them the sniff test to see if you can smell the fruit's sweetness.
Absolutely! Just be sure that you clean the kiwi skin really well first. There are a ton of great nutrients in the skin of a kiwi, so once you peel them, enjoy the skin as a healthy snack.
It's fine if that happens. Just know that you'll see them and also likely feel them as you take sips. They're edible, but I often think of them like orange juice pulp, so I try to remove the texture of them if at all possible.
Sure! You can add strawberries, pineapple, watermelon, berries, or any other fruit that is ripe and delicious. If you don't want to mix the flavors in the drink, just have them on the rim of the glass as a fun garnish. You can also add bananas as a simple option to put on the rum. All fruit options are a go when it comes to this yummy drink.
