Saddle Up for Dry January & Beyond

So simple, so spritzy!

Ingredients:

• 1 oz any citrus juice (think lemon, lime, OJ, pineapple, grapefruit, etc)
• 1 oz sweetener (or opt out!)*
• Hans’s Kombucha flavor of your choice
• Ice cubes
• Garnish if you’re feelin’ yourself (optional)

Instructions:

1. Choose your preferred citrus juice. In our opinion, freshly squeezed juice usually tastes best.
2. In a glass, pour 1 oz of your chosen citrus juice. Add 1 oz of sweetener if desired. Adjust the sweetness to your taste or omit it entirely for a less sweet mocktail.
3. Add a handful of ice cubes.
4. Pour Hans’s Kombucha over the citrus juice mixture and ice. The amount of kombucha can vary based on your preference for the level of effervescence and flavor.
5. Sip away, sip away, sip away! (sang like Enya)

* If you feel fancy, make a quick, flavored simple syrup like rosemary or lavender! 

A refreshing concoction!

• 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice*
• 1 oz orange juice or pineapple juice
• Hans’s Kombucha Ginger Hibiscus (or the booch of your choice!)

Instructions:

1. If you’re not using pre-juiced liquids, juice the ginger, lemon, and orange or pineapples!
2. In the glass of your choice, combine the ginger juice, lemon juice, and your orange or pineapple juice.
3. Add a handful of ice cubes.
4. Top with kombucha! Slowly pour Hans’s Kombucha Ginger Hibiscus (or your preferred kombucha) over the juice mixture to top off the drink.
5. If desired, garnish the mocktail with a slice of lemon or orange on the rim of the glass or floating in the drink.
6. Enjoy!
