Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit Punch

Method

1. Cut off the tops from two Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit. Cut each into 1cm thick slices. Use a 4cm heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out a heart from 8 slices. Set hearts aside on a plate.
2. Place remaining 4 Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit in the jug of a high-speed blender. Add lime juice, mint leaves and sugar, then blend until smooth.
3. Half fill 8 serving glasses with crushed ice. Pour Kiwifruit mixture over ice, then top up with a little sparkling mineral water to fill the glasses.
4. Serve with straws, garnish with mint sprigs and place Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit hearts on to the edge of the glasses to decorate.

TIP: If you’d like to make your punch into more of an icy slushy, simply add handfuls of ice to your Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit mixture and blitz in the blender until wonderfully icy cold and slushy. Don’t add any mineral water.
