It is not too big a leap in flavor from kombucha to cocktail, and this recipe for the Kombucha Mule is a great jumping-off point. Kombucha’s tangy-tart flavor has a bit of fizz and translates well into this simple to prepare beverage.

The classic Moscow Mule is a mixture of vodka, lime, and ginger beer that is often served in a copper mug. We garnish our Kombucha Mule with some sliced, fresh ginger to punch up the ginger flavor.
