Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup ginger or berry kombucha
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, optional
- Ice cubes
- Fresh cranberries, optional
- Lime slices or wedges, optional
- Fresh rosemary or mint, optional
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room for the cranberry juice and kombucha.
- Pour the cranberry juice over the ice and add the fresh lime juice.
- For a sweeter mocktail, stir in maple syrup or honey until well combined.
- Slowly pour the kombucha into the glass to minimize foaming and preserve the carbonation.
- Stir gently to combine without losing too much fizz.
- Garnish with fresh cranberries, a lime slice or wedge, and a sprig of rosemary or mint, if desired.
- Serve immediately while cold and bubbly.
Notes
- Keep the cranberry juice and kombucha chilled before mixing for the coldest, fizziest drink.
- For a ginger-forward variation, use ginger kombucha and add a thin slice of fresh ginger.
- For a berry variation, use raspberry, strawberry, or mixed-berry kombucha and garnish with fresh or frozen berries.
- For additional citrus flavor, add a splash of fresh orange juice.
- For extra fizz, reduce the cranberry juice slightly and add sparkling water.
- Cranberry juice cocktail is usually sweeter than unsweetened cranberry juice, so taste before adding optional sweetener.
- To prepare ahead, combine the cranberry juice, lime juice, and sweetener and refrigerate. Add the kombucha and ice immediately before serving.
- Kombucha can naturally contain small amounts of alcohol from fermentation. For a strictly alcohol-free drink, check the product label or substitute an appropriate flavored sparkling water.
