# Kiwi Margarita Cocktails This Alcoholic Beverage is a Great Companion to Cinco de Mayo Festivities By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-04-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiwi-margarita References: [howsweeteats](http://www.howsweeteats.com/2015/04/kiwi-margaritas/) A boozier take on your standard green juice, this kiwi margarita is the perfect libation for the Kentucky Derby or [Cinco de Mayo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinco-de-mayo-drink). From food blogger Jess of How Sweet It Is, the cocktail uses kiwi berries and an easy to make kiwi simple syrup you can use in beverages all season long. If you are making your own kiwi margarita batch, you will need Grand Marnier, tequila, lime juice and kiwi simple syrup (you can use regular kiwis if you can't find kiwi berries). For garnish you can use lime and fresh kiwi or kiwi berries, plus coarse salt for the rim. This [unconventional take on a margarita](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hennyrita-cocktail) is seasonally appropriate for spring and summer, not to mention super refreshing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Alcoholic Fruit Cocktails:** Opportunity to create innovative alcoholic beverages using different types of fruits. - **Seasonal Margarita Variations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop unique margarita flavors using seasonal ingredients. - **Simple Syrup Mixology:** Opportunity to experiment with different flavors of simple syrup in cocktail recipes. ### Where This Applies - **Beverage Industry:** Opportunity for beverage companies to create new fruit-infused alcoholic beverages. - **Hospitality Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to offer unique and seasonal margarita variations in bars and restaurants. - **Food and Beverage Blogging:** Opportunity for bloggers to share creative cocktail recipes using simple syrup mixology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Avocado Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-cocktails.md) - [Celebratory Avocado Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-daiquiri.md) - [Spicy Pickle-Flavored Margarita Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-margarita.md) - [Cold-Pressed Juice Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/margaret-cocktails.md) - [Summery Bottled Margaritas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottled-margaritas.md) - [Fruit-Flavored Bottled Margaritas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruitflavored-botttled-margaritas.md) - [Ready-to-Pour Strawberry Margaritas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altos-strawberry-margarita.md) - [Festive Frozen Margaritas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jingle-berry-rita.md) - [Refreshing Pre-Made Tequila Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-lime-margaritas.md)
