Kombucha Cocktail Recipe: Light, Clean & Refreshing

My kombucha cocktail is fizzy, slightly sweet and has a wonderful warmth from the ginger. If you want to indulge a little with a cocktail, this is a cleaner option that tastes amazing.

I try to live as healthy a lifestyle as possible, so I’m always looking for ways to eat cleaner. This goes for cocktails too, and if I am going to indulge, I try to skip the sugary syrups and go for something simpler. Trust me, I love a good margarita as much as the rest of them, but everything in moderation, right?

This gin cocktail with lemon and honey is one of my other favorite light cocktails, but recently I’ve been enjoying this kombucha cocktail. If you don’t know, kombucha is a kind of fermented tea that’s fizzy, slightly sweet and a little tangy. And it’s known for its gut-friendly probiotics and health benefits. 

After stumbling upon this podcast with Dr. Justin Marchegiani, I’ve discovered it makes a great cocktail mixer. So if you’re looking for a pretty tasty and clean cocktail, this kombucha cocktail with ginger should do the trick!

Ingredients

  • Ginger KombuchaGTS Gingerade Kombucha is my favorite brand and flavor.
  • Vodka – I like Tito’s Vodka as it’s made from corn, not wheat, so it’s gluten-free, though.
  • Lime Slice – Adds a citrusy freshness and makes the drink nice and bright.
  • Fresh Ginger – Add a little garnish of fresh ginger to up the presentation of this kombucha cocktail.
The ingredients needed to make this kombucha cocktail.

How to Make a Kombucha Cocktail with Ginger

  1. Add the Vodka. Fill up a glass with ice and pour in the vodka. I normally use a short rocks glass, or a stemless wine glass if I’m feeling fancy. 
  2. Top with Kombucha. Slowly pour in the ginger kombucha and give it a gentle stir. 
  3. Garnish and Serve. Add a slice of lime and a little piece of ginger and serve it cold and bubbly.

Helpful Tools

  • Lowball Glass – My go-to for kombucha cocktail recipes like this. I usually keep a couple in the freezer so I’ve always got a cold one ready. If you’re feeling extra fancy, try using a stemless wine glass. 
  • Bar Spoon – While a regular spoon works fine, a bar spoon makes it easy to stir gently. 
  • Sharp Paring Knife – For slicing the lime and ginger.

Kombucha Cocktail FAQs

Can I make this drink in a cocktail shaker?

It’s probably not a good idea. Kombucha is fizzy and like a soda it could bubble over.

Kombucha cocktails are easy – just pour everything over ice and give it a gentle stir!
