Cranberry-Orange Rosemary Kombucha Mocktail

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Servings: 2 mocktails

Ingredients

For the mocktail:
2 cups (500 ml) homemade kombucha (plain or lightly flavored), chilled
½ cup (125 ml) fresh cranberry juice (unsweetened)
¼ cup (60 ml) fresh orange juice
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
Ice cubes
Fresh cranberries and orange slices, for garnish
Extra rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Preparation

Prepare the rosemary infusion
Gently bruise one rosemary sprig by pressing it between your fingers to release the aromatic oils. Set aside.

Mix the mocktail
In a pitcher, combine the chilled homemade kombucha, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Add the bruised rosemary sprig and stir gently. Taste and add maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter drink.

Let it infuse
Let the mixture sit for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the rosemary flavor to infuse.

Serve
Fill two glasses with ice cubes. Remove the rosemary sprig from the pitcher and pour the mocktail over the ice. Garnish each glass with fresh cranberries, an orange slice, and a fresh rosemary sprig.

Enjoy
Serve immediately and enjoy this festive, probiotic-rich mocktail! Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a refreshing afternoon drink.

Chef's Tips
Use your Kombucha Scoby to brew fresh kombucha following our kombucha recipe.
For a sparkling version, top with a splash of sparkling water.
The longer the rosemary infuses, the stronger the herbal flavor.
This mocktail pairs beautifully with appetizers like our Mushroom & Chestnut Pâté.
