What You’ll Need

Crushed ice (enough to fill your glass)
1 part vodka (adjust to your preference)
1 part ginger kombucha (any brand, or substitute with plain kombucha)
Fresh mint sprigs (3-4 sprigs for garnish and flavor)
Lemon slice (for garnish and a citrusy touch)

How to Make It

Prepare your glass: Fill a small glass to the top with crushed ice.
Mix the drink: Pour in 1 part vodka and 1 part ginger kombucha. Adjust the ratio to suit your taste.
Add the finishing touches: Gently place a few sprigs of fresh mint and a slice of lemon on top for garnish and extra flavor.
Serve and enjoy: Stir lightly if desired, and enjoy your refreshing ginger kombucha cocktail!

Mix It Up: Flavor Variations to Try

Experiment with different kombucha flavors like raspberry, lemon-ginger, or hibiscus for a unique twist. Swap vodka for gin or tequila to change the spirit profile. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the vodka and add a splash of sparkling water for extra fizz.

Garnish Game: Elevate Your Presentation

Add a sugar or salt rim to your glass for a sweet or savory touch. Try swapping lemon slices for lime or orange for a citrusy change. Fresh ginger slices or a candied ginger stick make a fun and flavorful garnish.

Perfect Pairings: Snacks to Serve Alongside

Pair your cocktail with light appetizers like spiced nuts, bruschetta, or shrimp skewers. For a sweet treat, serve with dark chocolate truffles or ginger cookies. These combos complement the drink’s refreshing and zesty flavors.

Quick Tips: Simplify Your Prep

Pre-slice lemons and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Use pre-crushed ice or an ice crusher to save time. Keep a bottle of kombucha chilled so it’s ready to go whenever you are.

Batch It Up: Make Ahead for Parties

Mix a large batch of vodka and kombucha in a pitcher (without ice) and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Add ice and garnishes just before serving. This is perfect for entertaining and ensures your cocktails stay fresh and fizzy.
