Kombucha Mojitos
GREEN TEA ROSEMARY & MINT KOMBUCHA MOJITOS
We’re headed towards the new year and that sends everyone into new beginnings over drive. And after a year like 2020, how can we not?
We admittedly have been drinking more than usual, especially towards the end of this year, and holidays only strengthen that cocktail fun. But for the new year, we wanted to try something different. Mojito different.
We used Brew Dr Kombucha to get things bubbly for these mojitos. Heinen’s carries it!
Mojitos can be a tricky thing to some people, especially me, because I don’t want a lot of mint leaves in my drink that are chopped. I’m not about that mint-in-my-teeth life. I do love a chunky stalk of mint garnish that I can remove when I drink and still keeping it pretty.
Make sure your kombucha is FRESH. The last thing you want is a stale, no carbonation mixer.
The right kombucha is a wonderful thing. Just make sure if you’re making these drinks, to have a newly purchased kombucha, preferably a mint infused one, like this Brew Dr, and you’ll be well on your way to a mental getaway to a beachside pool.
Make yourselves a nice simple syrup for part of the mix. It’s easy. This time use brown sugar.
GREEN TEA ROSEMARY & MINT KOMBUCHA MOJITOS RECIPE
Ingredients
2 tablespoons brown sugar simple syrup
1/4 cup white rum
1/2 cup Clear Mind Brew Dr Kombucha (or any mint infused Kombucha)
3 mint leaves, chopped to muddle
juice of a half lime
mint stalk for garnish
ice
Instructions
For simple sugar syrup, boil 1 cup of brown sugar with 1 cup water. You’ll only need 2 tablespoons of it per drink, but you’ll also have left overs for other drinks or recipes you may need. Store in the fridge. It’s best to make this the night before because cold syrup is better for the drink.
Pour all ingredients except the kombucha (because it’s carbonated) and ice into the shaker glass.
Muddle the chopped mint in with the liquids to infuse some mint flavor.
Pour that mixture through a strainer, into your glass with ice in it.
Pour in the kombucha and stir slightly to mix.
Garnish with mint stalk and drink immediately!
