3 Festive Holiday Hard Kombucha Cocktail Recipes
‘Tis the season to drink and be merry! We’ve been having a blast here at Wild Tea headquarters coming up with three delicious cocktail recipes using each of our hard kombucha cider flavours: Mango Passionfruit, Blueberry Hibiscus and Ginger Lime! In case you want to try all three, you can have a mixed case of all three flavours delivered right to your door* (*If you live in AB, BC, SK, MB or NS)!
Since our hard ciders are low in sugar, low in carbs and contain healthy probiotics - these drink recipes are perhaps a wiser choice (if you choose to imbibe) that you can feel good about this festive season! We think that these recipes perfectly complement our kombucha and we hope you love them! Try it yourself, and tag us @wildteakombucha in your creations!
