I think putting a couple mint leaves in the blender with the other ingredients will add a nice touch to the drink. And having it as a garnish will work wonders too, so while not really essential, I'd go get some mint from the wet markets.

I'm interested to know too, because when I try making it with kiwi juice, I don't get exactly the same taste as what CX serves onboard and in their HKG lounges.

Also i feel like u need to use maybe 30% less milk/coconut milk as stated in their recipe (but probably cuz the Kiwis i had didn't have enough punch)

Just saw this thread. Had tried to recreate 6 months ago and seems I made a double error, normal instead of overripe kiwis and too much coconut milk. The sourness of normal kiwis somewhat overpowered the mixture even with excess coconut milk.
