The drink was unveiled on June 3, and will only be served for a month during the festival, according to the pub's Facebook page.

Varley told The Dominion Post that the concoction was most popular amongst his lady customers and admits to having tried some himself, describing the taste as "like custard."

And he's not the first to serve it up, the newspaper reports that it previously appeared at the Hokitika Wild Foods Festival, and chef's pay around $15 per shot of the ingredient, which is legal to be sold for consumption as far as the New Zealand Food Standards Authority is concerned.

Nasty. So someone has to "procure" it beforehand. Ugh.

a shot of Hoihoi tatea

That would really suck if you were a visitor and did not know what it really was. I love to try new foods when I travel but I am always an advocate of informed decisions.
