KiBa (from the German words for cherry (Kirsche) and banana (Banane)) is a non-alcoholic beverage consisting of cherry and banana nectar or juice. [1] It is well known in Germany and especially popular amongst youth.

KiBa

Preparation and serving

edit

KiBa can be bought pre-mixed or mixed from banana and cherry and is available in many restaurants. It most commonly consists of nectar, with a lower fruit content than juice.[2] Classic KiBa consists of equal Parts or a 2:1 ratio of banana and cherry nectar with variations in proportion according to personal preference. The mixing of the light banana and darker cherry nectar creates a marbled look of different layers with different ratios of banana and cherry. KiBa is usually made from chilled nectars and served cold. It is rarely served with ice cubes.

History

edit

KiBa reached wide popularity in the 1990s[3][4] and was subsequently passed down in families.  

Variations

edit

Variations are less common and include Jogurt-Kiba[5], KiBa milkshakes and non-beverages such as KiBa-inspired bananabread with cherries. [6] [7]


Other uses

edit

KiBa has, due to the different density of the nectars, been used to demonstrate diffusion and as a model for the different layers of ocean water in German schools and children books. [8] [9]
