Another amazing cocktail name. We must believe somewhere in Middle Earth they grew kiwi plants, right?! Perhaps not in the Shire or Helm’s Deep. But the sunny parts that weren’t found in the Hobbit or the Ring Trilogy. Well, geeky rant aside, this one is pretty fun.
You’ll be muddling the green fruit for this one, so get a muddler if you don’t already have one. You might also have noticed the name “Gunpowder” in the name. That’s not a flavor, it’s a BRAND. Don’t spoil this cocktail with Beefeater or even Hendriks. Get a good bottle of Gunpowder IRISH Gin, and enjoy every last drop in this cocktail and any others you make. Cheers!
