This Ginger Kombucha Mule Makes The Perfect Gut-Friendly Cocktail (Or Mocktail!)
Yes, you read that right—this tea-and-tonic queen loves a cocktail too. My favorite spirited beverages are light, gently sweetened, and packed with redeeming ingredients like fresh herbs, freshly squeezed fruits, and bold spices.
Kombucha is both a wonderful mix-in for cocktails and a low-ABV alcohol stand-in on its own, thanks to its depth and puckering flavor.
In this tonic, zesty ginger kombucha pairs deliciously with a squeeze of fresh lime. If you're not looking to imbibe, a splash of sparkling water and a sprig of fresh mint make for an elevated zero-proof cocktail.
