Tasting Notes
The Strawberry Kombucha Mojito Mocktail is a bright, bubbly, and health-conscious twist on the classic mojito. It delivers tangy, slightly tart notes from the kombucha, balanced by the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries and the crisp, refreshing essence of mint. Lime juice adds a citrusy pop, while sparkling water gives it a light, effervescent finish. It’s fruity, fizzy, and herbaceous—with a hint of probiotic zing—making it both flavorful and refreshing.
Equipment and Glassware
No special tools required—just a muddler (or the back of a spoon), a tall glass (like a highball), and a bar spoon to stir. A straw makes for easy sipping, and garnish tweezers can help with a clean presentation if you’re going for a polished look.
