The Benefits of Kombucha

Do you love kombucha? We sure do in this house! Not only is this sweet fizzy drink tasty but it is also beneficial to your health.

Kombucha is made with yeast, sugar, and fermented tea. The tea is fermented with a symbiotic colony of yeast and bacteria known as SCOBY. The yeast in the SCOBY breaks down the sugar and releases probiotic bacteria, which is good for your gut health.

Additional research also makes claims to countless other benefits including weight loss, liver health, reducing infection risk, promoting positive mental health and more. Studies are being conducted all the time to verify the positive effects of drinking kombucha but personally we just know we love the taste and how we feel after drinking it.

You can always make your own like my brother. His homemade kombucha is always amazing and this handy Kombucha Starter Kit will get you started on your way! Just be ready for some crazy looking SCOBY! The other option is to take the easy way out and buy it. We love to stock up when there is a sale.

What You Will Need

In order to make this effervescent Blueberry Kombucha Cocktail or Mocktail you will only need 5 or 6 ingredients and 5 minutes or less for mixing.

Here is what you need for the MOCKTAIL:

Ginger Kombucha (It can also be Lemon-Ginger flavored)
Fresh Blueberries
Fresh Ginger
Lemon
Agave Nectar (Optional)

This is what you will need to make that mocktail into a COCKTAIL:

Extra Dry Gin

Yep, that’s it. But not matter if you make yours with or without the gin, you will have one flavorful drink to sip!

MIXOLOGIST TIPS:

No need for fancy Muddler!
- This drink does require some muddling. You can use a cocktail muddler if you have one or simply make do with an everyday kitchen tool. The back of a wooden utensil or a large spoon will also break up the fruit nicely.
Use a Fine-Mesh Strainer.
- Due to the blueberries, ginger, and lemon pulp, you will want to strain this drink well so you aren’t left with a glass full of muddled fruit. We like to use a small cocktail mini strainer. However, if a little bit of pulp ends up in the drink, it won’t be the end of the world because smashed blueberries are still delicious.

Add a twist of lemon for a fancy garnish
- A drink garnish somehow always makes a cocktail better. By simply adding a little twist of lemon peel or a few blueberries, your drink goes from ordinary to extraordinary.
