Christmas Kombucha Cocktail

Lately i’ve been thinking, how do you have Christmas drinks without the sugar and processed nasties? I am particularly partial to a cocktail and, also love drinking Kombucha in place of soft drinks. That is where the Strawberry, lemon, and ginger Kombucha, mojito was born. These have been tried and tested one hot afternoon this week. A friend and I spent last weekend putting up a Kmart pool in the backyard with the specific plan of drinking these while standing knee deep in the cool water, and watching the world go by. It was a was roaring success. I highly suggest you try these drinks, with a friend, in a shady spot on a hot arvo. They will not disappoint. (they are also low sugar and filled with gut loving probiotics, it’s win win)

Fresh lemons, strawberries and mint naturally flavour the cocktail

Ginger and lemon kombucha with ice cold Grey Goose Vodka

Christmas Kombucha Cocktail

Serving suggestion- a pool and a shady spot

What you will need

4 mint leaves, stems removed

3/4 cups fresh strawberries, stems removed and sliced

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

120ml of vodka or white rum (4 shots)

1 750ml Ginger and Lemon Remedy Kombucha

1 cup ice

Strawberries, lemon wedges and mint leaves for garnish

Method

In mortar and pestle, or small bowl, muddle the mint leaves, strawberries and lemon  until strawberries form a puree. You can also puree in a blender or food processor but don’t overwork or you will end up with strawberry juice.

Fill two short glasses with lots of ice and divide the puree amongst two cocktail glasses.

Add 60ml of vodka to each glass, top with lemon and ginger kombucha and garnish with mint, strawberries and lemon.

Enjoy pool or riverside!
