Refreshing summer mocktail with homemade kombucha and fermented strawberries
Looking for the perfect summer refreshment with no (or minimal) alcohol content? This non-alcoholic cocktail, also known as a mocktail, is ideal for hot days, picnics, garden parties or simply — when you’re in the mood for something special, refreshing and naturally fermented.
It’s made from homemade kombucha, fermented strawberry juice and elderflower syrup, which together create the perfect balance of sour, sweet and aromatic. In addition to its wonderful taste, you’ll also love its visual appeal – with basil, pollen and a few ice cubes, you get a healthy, probiotic and elegant drink. This fermented mocktail can be safely served even to guests who avoid alcohol. Your friends will be impressed – it’s so chic!
The recipe for this unique fermented drink was shared with us by our fermentation friend Tereza Poljanič – Tereza’s Choice, who chooses natural ingredients and local flavors. Check below to see how to prepare this divine kombucha cocktail with elderflower syrup and fermented strawberries.
