Classic Nojito

Print Recipe
It's a classic mojito, with a twist. With fresh, vital flavors and minty deliciousness, it's entirely drinkable, any time of year. And kombucha is packed with probiotics so it's as healthy as it is pretty.

Ingredients

  • Ingredients
  • 1 inch 2.5 cm piece of cucumber, cut into thin, round slices
  • 1 oz 30 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 8 mint leaves plus more for garnish
  • Splash of agave or sweetener of your choice
  • 1 cup 240 ml chilled kombucha
  • ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar optional
  • Lime wedge for garnish

Instructions

  • Muddle the cucumber in a tall glass to release the juice. It should be slightly bruised but not mushy. Add the lime juice. Place the mint leaves in one hand and gently clap your hands together to 'smack' the mint. This releases the lovely mint aroma and starts to extract the oils, resulting in a stronger mint flavor. Add the mint to your glass, then muddle very gently to just bruise the mint slightly.
  • Add the agave, then some ice. Top with your kombucha. Stir gently, then add a splash of apple cider vinegar (if using).
  • Garnish with extra mint and lime.
