Considering how obsessed we’ve all become with kombucha, the introduction of a worldwide day of appreciation doesn’t have us at all surprised.

But, if you’re yet to try kombucha and you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, let us fill you in…

Kombucha (pronounced kom-BOO-cha) is believed to have originated in China more than two thousand years ago.

It’s produced through a fermentation process using sweet tea, and a live culture. The result? A fizzy drink full of live cultures, tea polyphenols and organic acids. It’s also said to carry a slew of health benefits including aiding digestion and boosting immunity.

And, although kombucha has built up an impressive reputation thanks to its wellness benefits, it also makes a great mixer for cocktails.

So, what better way to celebrate World Kombucha Day than with a boozy ‘bucha recipe?

Kombucha Peach Bellini

Warm weather = peaches. Peaches = Bellinis.

Ingredients

• 1 x 330ml bottle of peach-flavoured kombucha
• Prosecco

Method

Pour chilled peach-flavoured kombucha (we love Remedy’s Peach Kombucha) into two glasses and top with prosecco.

Feelin’ fancy? Add a peach slice garnish. Even fancier? Top with Persian fairy floss AKA pashmak!
