PROBIOTIC MOCKTAIL INGREDIENTS

WHAT IS A PROBIOTIC MOCKTAIL?

A mocktail is a "mock cocktail". It usually consists of fruit juices, flavorings, and some kind of carbonated beverage. They are made to be visually appealing and festive, so you can join in the fun without the alcohol.

A probiotic mocktail is a non alcoholic drink made with probiotics, usually in the form of kombucha! Is a great alcohol free drink option for mom's to be, nursing mothers, those of certain religious faiths, and those who are looking to take it easier on their liver.

IS A MOCKTAIL GOOD FOR HEALTH?

When made in a healthy way, probiotic mocktails will give you all the health benefits of the ingredients you use! Like, antioxidant rich fruits, that are also loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, or gut healthy kombucha. Mocktails can be an excellent way to get more nutrients into your body.

When a mocktail is not healthy is when you make a classic cocktail, and just remove the alcohol. For example, making a margarita with the simple sugar, or making a mudslide with all the chocolate syrup. A couple of teaspoons of sugar is okay. But, keep in mind where else you are eating simple sugars during the day. If you have already had some sweets, just leave the sugar out because your mocktail recipe will be just as good!

GUT HEALTHY PROBIOTIC MOCKTAIL INGREDIENTS

Mint leaves. This year I'm growing my own mint in my garden! It is still pretty small but I'm so excited about it! Herbs are great to get in more antioxidants!

Lime juice is super high in vitamin C! Vitamin C is needed to help transport iron around the body, and it is also needed to build collagen.

Raw honey is actually incredibly gut friendly! It is not only anti-inflammatory, but real raw honey can also reduce the bad bacteria in your gut.

Kombucha is one of my most favorite gut healthy foods! It is a great source of probiotics and can be so healing for your gut. Keep in mind that it is carbonated, so if you don't do well with carbonated beverages, it is best to find an alternative like a fruit juice. Or, let your kombucha go flat by opening it and leaving it in the fridge overnight to lost its carbonation.

HOW TO MAKE A PROBIOTIC MOCKTAIL RECIPE

• ¼ cup fresh mint leaves (you can also use basil in your mocktail if you have that instead!)
• 1 teaspoon raw honey
• 2 whole limes
• 1 cup kombucha

My kombucha mojito recipe is super easy to make!

First, make sure you have a pestle (pictured below). A pestle helps immensely in grinding up the mint leaves so you can get all the mint flavor in your probiotic mocktail!

If you don't have a pestle, you can use a flat wooden spoon or something similar to try to mash and grind the mint leaves.

NOTE: make sure you are using a very sturdy thick glass. Once I used a cheaply made glass with very thin glass and right when I started mashing the mint leaves with my pestle, the glass broke!

In a glass, add about ¼ cup of fresh mint leaves.

¼ cup fresh mint leaves is approximately the leaves from 2 stalks, or about a hand full.

Add your mint leaves to your glass along with the juice of 2 limes and the teaspoon of honey.

Use your pestle to mash the mint leaves until they look rather soggy. This will give you the best mint flavor in your probiotic mocktail recipe.

Then, add your ice to fill to the top of your glass along with your favorite kombucha. When I photographed this, I used a cranberry peach kombucha.

Other kombucha flavors to experiment with if you like extra mint flavor: mint kombucha, ginger mint kombucha, mint tea kombucha.

PROBIOTIC MOCKTAIL TIPS & VARIATIONS

• Mint Kombucha: If you’re a true mint lover, try using a mint-flavored kombucha for an extra burst of minty freshness. You can also experiment with other kombucha flavors like ginger-mint kombucha for a spicy twist!
• Add More Probiotics: Want to boost your gut health even more? Add a scoop of plain kefir or a spoonful of chia seeds for extra fiber and probiotics.
• Sweeten It Naturally: If you’re looking for a sweetener with more benefits, try adding a bit of raw honey or fruit juice instead of regular sugar.

This probiotic kombucha mojito mocktail is the ultimate way to refresh, relax, and nourish your gut – without the alcohol. It's a perfect drink for anyone looking to support their digestive health while enjoying a delicious, fizzy beverage!

FAQ'S

More frequently asked questions about my probiotic mocktail recipe.

IS KOMBUCHA GOOD FOR YOU IN A PROBIOTIC MOCKTAIL?

Yes! Kombucha is a fermented drink that contains live probiotics, which are great for your gut health.

WHAT DOES KOMBUCHA TASTE LIKE?

Kombucha has a sweet and slightly tart flavor. It is a carbonated drink because of the fermentation process. It is similar to sparkling cider.

Depending on the type of flavorings they use at the time of bottling, like fruits, herbs, and other spices, you may get different flavors. Some of my favorites are strawberry basil, pineapple, and mint lemon.

WHAT IS KOMBUCHA MADE OUT OF?

Kombucha is a fermented tea. During the first fermentation, black tea, sugar, and a starter are used (live bacteria). During the second fermentation, when it is bottled and carbonation is created, many different types of flavorings are used like fruit, fruit juice, herbs, and spices.

WHAT KIND OF KOMBUCHA SHOULD I USE IN A HEALTHY PROBIOTIC MOCKTAIL?

Look for kombucha that has the least amount of added sugar! While sugar is normal at the time of fermenting, there should not be much left afterwards. Some manufacturers add more sugar when they bottle it. So look for ideally less than 5 grams of added sugars on the nutrition label.

Good low sugar mojito kombucha: synergy. Most of theirs are made with 0 grams of added sugars.
