Kombucha Mule Mocktail or Cocktail
With summer around the corner this is your go-to drink ladies! If you love a traditional Moscow mule then say hello to this cocktail with probiotic benefits. This gingery kombucha mule is a gut-healthy version of the refreshing Moscow Mule (alcoholic and non-alcoholic version). Ginger Kombucha is the perfect probiotic-rich swap for ginger beer.
Not only does kombucha offer both pre and probiotics that are beneficial for your gut health, thanks to the fermentation process, but it is also lower in sugar than most mixers, including ginger beer. And since kombucha is a naturally fermented product, all the present probiotic bacteria are alive and easy to digest. That’s a triple win for a healthier cocktail!
I used my favorite brand of kombucha here in Tulum, Mexico, Bruja Sana, (founded my a fellow Canadian!), Ginger flavor, giving this mule just a bit of ginger kick that tastes delicious with the fresh mint garnishes. If you live in Barbados check out ‘Nix Elix‘ for a great, strong bucha!
