How to Make Kombucha Cocktails
Kombucha is an effervescent, fermented, sweetened, tea-based beverage. It comes in a range of flavours and can be used to make these colorful cocktails.
Kombucha Mango Daiquiris
For two daiquiris, add 1 cup mango-flavoured kombucha, 1 cup fresh mango, peeled and cubed, 3 oz. white rum and 2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice to a blender and pulse until smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups ice cubes and blend until smooth. Serve in two chilled martini or other decorative glasses. Garnish with lime slices and wedges of mango.
Green Kombucha Vodka Cooler
Make cucumber juice by grating 1 cup of English cucumber into a fine sieve set over a bowl, squeeze juice out of cucumber. For each drink, add 2 Tbsp. of cucumber juice, 1 1/2 oz. vodka and 1 tsp. honey in a glass and stir. Fill glass 3/4’s full with ice and set half slices of kiwi and fresh basil or mint leaves. Top up the drink with multi-green-flavoured kombucha. Garnish with a skewer of thinly sliced cucumber and a slice of kiwi, and serve.
Kombucha Berry Mojito
For each drink, place 1 1/2 oz. white rum, 1 tsp honey and 12 mint leaves into a tall glass. Use a cocktail muddler, or the end of a long spoon, to stir the mint and release its flavour and aroma. Fill glass 3/4’s full with ice. Add fresh berries to the glass and top up with berry-flavored kombucha and serve.
