Honey Berry Kombucha Smash
Description
This cocktail-style drink starts with gently heating blueberries and honey until the berries burst and release their juices. These are then combined with raspberries and muddled lightly with kombucha to create a vibrant fruit base. Served over crushed ice in glasses, the smashed berry mixture contributes natural sweetness and texture.
Additional kombucha tops the glasses before a splash of ginger beer adds spice and effervescence, enhancing the drink’s lively mouthfeel. Fresh mint or basil garnish offers an aromatic herbal note that complements the fruit and ginger elements.
The drink suits warm weather or as a vibrant, non-alcoholic option for social gatherings, combining probiotic kombucha with fresh fruit flavors and a hint of honey sweetness.

- 2 tablespoons honey
