Ingredients:
- 2 ounces vodka (high-quality for best flavor)
- 6 ounces ginger kombucha (choose a brand you enjoy)
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- Ice
- Copper mug (traditional, but optional)
- Lime wedge and/or fresh ginger slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Fill the mug: Fill your copper mug (or a standard highball glass) with ice.
- Add the spirits: Pour the vodka over the ice.
- Top with kombucha: Slowly add the ginger kombucha, leaving a bit of room at the top.
- The citrus touch: Squeeze in the juice from the half lime. Give it a gentle stir to combine.
- Garnish: Add a lime wedge and/or a few thin slices of fresh ginger for a flavor boost and visual appeal.
- Enjoy! Sip and savor the refreshing, subtly tangy flavors.
Customization Tips:
- Flavor variations: Experiment with different flavored kombuchas (gingerberry, citrus, etc.)
- Switch the spirit: Gin makes a fantastic alternative to vodka.
- Sweetness adjustment: If you find it too tart, add a tiny splash of simple syrup or honey to taste.
- Make it a mocktail: For a delicious non-alcoholic option, simply omit the vodka.
Important Reminder: Kombucha naturally contains a small amount of alcohol due to the fermentation process. While usually less than 0.5%, be mindful if this is a concern.
