As temperatures rise, staying hydrated is essential—but let’s be honest, plain water isn’t always the most exciting choice. Enter kombucha: the ultimate summer mixer that blends flavour, function, and fun in a glass, with a shed load less sugar. 

Lightly sparkling, low in sugar and calories, and full of organic acids like acetic and gluconic acid (which may support the body’s natural detox processes), kombucha offers a smarter, more refreshing base for summer cocktails.

At Loving Foods, our Ginger & Lemon and Raspberry & Tulsi kombuchas aren’t just delicious—they’re also ideal for mixing. With their complex flavour profiles and natural effervescence, they elevate drinks with no need for sugar-laden mixers or heavy syrups.

Here are some easy kombucha cocktail ideas to brighten your Summer gatherings:

Ginger-Lemon Kombucha Mule

• 1 shot Vodka
  

• Ginger & Lemon kombucha
  

• Squeeze of lime
  

• Fresh mint and crushed ice 

• Serve in a copper mug for that classic mule feel—only this time, it’s lighter, brighter, and better for you.
  
  

Raspberry & Tulsi Spritz

• 1 shot gin or white rum
  

• Raspberry & Tulsi kombucha
  

• Dash of elderflower cordial
  

• Garnish with basil and fresh raspberries 

• It’s floral, slightly herbal, and effortlessly elegant—perfect for sunset sipping.

Booch Bellini (No Sugar Sparkle)

• Raspberry & Tulsi kombucha
  

• Splash of prosecco
  

• Muddled peach or a peach slice

• The sweetness of the peach and kombucha’s tart fizz give this a refined edge without the sugar crash.
  

Pro tip: Serve your kombucha cocktails cold, over ice, and in your best glassware. Add a sprig of mint or slice of citrus to turn a simple drink into a summer moment.

Flavourful, functional, and fizzy—kombucha is the clever summer mixer you didn’t know you needed. Cheers to sipping smarter!
