With kiwis in season, Manoj Alphonse, beverage head at Ishaara in Parel and Phoenix Marketcity Kurla, says you should definitely make Kiwi Gin Mary with it. Alphonse says it has a potent mix of fresh kiwi chunks, puree and lime juice with rosemary.

Kiwis are so versatile that they can also be mixed with whiskey, according to Shivkumar Gouda, executive bartender at Bombay High in ITC Maratha in Andheri, to make the Kiwi Tangy Rosemary Shrub. He says the rosemary kiwi cocktail is refreshing and fragrant. It combines the distinct flavours of rosemary and kiwi to tingle the taste buds enough with a play of flavour profile.
