On a very hot day, we love a glass of limeade. It has that juicy, sweet mid-tongue pucker that’s so refreshing and addictive. Here, we’ve combined it with GT’s Unity kombucha, which tastes like cherries and coconut. It gives the cocktail a punch-like flavor, a light fizz and a very pleasant acidic bite. (Not into coconut? Use any flavor of kombucha.)
The beverage is perfect for large, outdoor gatherings because you can make a pitcher, put it out and let folks help themselves. No shaker, no fetching drinks all evening long!
Tip: If you think you’ll go through several pitchers worth of drinks, you can make the boozy limeade ahead of time. Keep it in the fridge, and add the limes, ice and kombucha just before serving. If you don’t end up using it all, the leftovers can go in the freezer until the next party.
Limeade Kombucha Cocktail
- 6 limes
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 quart cold water
- 2 cups ice
- 6 oz. vodka
- 16 oz. kombucha (We used GT’s Unity kombucha.)
Juice 5 of the limes into a pitcher. Slice the remaining lime into rounds; set it aside. Add the sugar and water, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Drop in the ice and lime slices. Add the vodka; stir. Add the kombucha, gently stir and serve immediately.
