Our Mindful Mule goes great with these “”Sesame Ginger Noodles”!

Why Kombucha Is The Perfect Pairing For Cocktails

Happy summer, everyone! We hope you’re all enjoying the warm weather and spending time with friends. As we get further into the summer season, we wanted to share a chill way (sorry, we couldn’t help ourselves) to beat the heat and have some fun – by enjoying Kombucha Cocktails!

Kombucha is lightly carbonated, has a slightly fruity taste, and is low in alcohol which makes it the perfect base for all kinds of cocktails. Plus, kombucha is a great source of probiotics, which makes it a great choice for a healthier happy hour.

Let’s take a look at two amazing Kombucha Cocktails that will take your summer fun to the next level. Cheers!

Sunshine State – 4.7 ABV

Vodka, kombucha, mango, key lime

Slightly fruity, perfectly refreshing.

A delicious cocktail with a hint of vacation in every sip. For those who are looking to be in a ‘sunshine state-of-mind’ all summer long, Kombucha Cocktails Sunshine State™ is not to be missed. Sunshine State™ infuses kombucha, mango, and key lime with a premium distilled vodka for a conveniently-canned taste of summer.

Mindful Mule – 4.7 ABV

Vodka, kombucha, ginger, lime

A thoughtful twist on a classic cocktail.

A great-tasting, less-guilty version of the Moscow Mule. Our rendition starts with premium vodka and kombucha, then gently layers in the expected ginger and lime undertones that have made the Mule a modern-day classic. By swapping out the high-calorie, high-sugar ginger beer mixer for effervescent kombucha, we’ve created a cocktail that you can enjoy without disrupting the balance of living your best life.

With the warmer weather (finally) upon us, it’s time to break out the drinks that scream summer. These award-winning cocktails are perfect for sipping on your porch or by the pool with friends. So if you’re looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy this season, don’t forget to stock up on Kombucha Cocktails.

Join the premium RTD movement with Kombucha Cocktails!

The moment for hard seltzers and malt beverages is over, which means it’s time for a premium RTD (ready-to-drink) movement!

In other words, it’s time to make the move to conveniently-canned cocktails made with REAL, premium spirits.

RTD beverages are all the rage right now, and there are plenty of good reasons why. Not only are they convenient and easy to take on the go, but they’re also perfect for those who want a lower-calorie, lower-sugar alternative to sugary cocktails.

So if you’re looking for the benefits of an RTD but want a REAL cocktail, join the Kombucha Cocktail movement and read on for more reasons why Kombucha Cocktails is going to be your go-to this summer.

Premium Spirits

If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that people are starting to be more health conscious, and they’re interested in enjoying cocktails made with premium spirits at home. The numbers don’t lie, and the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States said that premixed cocktails, including spirits-based RTDs, have risen 42.3 percent or $489 million to $1.6 billion.

You love premium spirits, and so do we. When we created Kombucha Cocktails, our focus was on crafting cocktails that taste great, and that won’t disrupt the balance of living your best life. We handled the mixology, so all you have to do to enjoy premium spirits and delicious cocktails is crack open a can of your favorite Kombucha Cocktails flavor.

Effervescent Kombucha

Premium spirits isn’t the only category on the rise. In recent years, kombucha, a fermented tea-based beverage, has made its mark on the beverage market. According to Market Watch, hard kombucha sales grew from $1.7 million in 2017 to $12 million in 2019, and is expected to continue to grow substantially over the next several years.

Its effervescence provides a refreshing taste that, when combined with your favorite premium spirits, only amplifies the natural flavors in your cocktail.

Ready-to-Drink Cans

We’re confident that you’ll love Kombucha Cocktails for many reasons, including those beyond what’s in the can. When choosing your new go-to cocktail, convenience and quality are almost equally as important.

So, let’s talk about why we know you’ll love our cans as much as you love the cocktails within them.

In 2021, we received two ‘Gold’ & one ‘Silver’ awards at the Denver International Spirits Competition, a rigorous, sommelier managed, double-blind taste testing competition with hundreds of international entries! We’re proud to say that one of our gold awards included recognition for packaging and marketing.

Also in 2021, we received six different awards at the 2021 PR%f Awards in Las Vegas in the ‘Masked’ and ‘Unmasked’ competitions. The Masked competition is the original world-class, credible, double-blind tasting competition with buyers from across the US rating spirits, wines, and beverages in a 100-point rating system.

After the double-blind tasting, judges evaluate each brand ‘unmasked.’ Judges will see and feel the bottle, can, or product, read the ingredients, hear the story, and see the overall marketing package. We received three awards just for outstanding packaging and presentation! Which means Kombucha Cocktails not only taste great, but they’re also conveniently canned to perfection!

When it comes to finding the perfect drink for you to enjoy this summer, look no further than Kombucha Cocktails. Our award-winning cans are made with premium spirits, effervescent kombucha, and natural flavors, so they taste great every time. Join the premium spirits, RTD movement and shop now to enjoy a cold Kombucha Cocktail!

What All-Natural Ingredients Mean To Us

We know you’re mindful when it comes to your health and the environment… which means you pay attention to ingredients. We feel the same way.

It’s the reason we took the time, and did the research, to find the best way to mix sustainably sourced, all-natural ingredients with premium spirits to create a truly clean cocktail.

To us, using all-natural ingredients is about more than just what’s in our ready-to-drink cans. It’s about creating something that won’t hold you back from your next adventure.

Kombucha Cocktails is a can that allows you to drink and enjoy today, and still enjoy tomorrow. At the end of the day, it’s a cocktail that knows that natural ingredients create a taste that is unmatched.

Best Beach Towns From Coast To Coast

Living your best life is better done in the sun… Consider this your sign to book a trip to the beach! We put together a list of our favorite spots from coast to coast. All you have to do is pack your sunscreen and grab a case of cold, ready-to-drink Kombucha Cocktails!

Santa Barbara, CA

Santa Barbara is a seaside escape on the California coast. It’s a great spot to find an array of outdoor activities, vineyards and top-notch dining. However, it’s the not-to-be-missed beaches and surf-friendly waves that make Santa Barbara an iconic beach town.

While you’re here, catch the sunset at Butterfly Beach. It’s west-facing views make it the most beautiful spot to end the day.

Hilton Head Island, SC

Hilton Head Island has over 12 miles of accessible, public beaches along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Recognized as one of the best family beach vacation destinations in the United States, there is something for everyone on Hilton Head Island.

While undoubtedly a great spot for outdoor activities, true low-country life is about relaxation. Enjoy bike rides. Indulge in fresh seafood. And finally, unwind with your favorite cocktail (we’ll let you guess our’s.)

Ocean City, MD

From a classic 1902 ferris wheel with incredible views, to over 10 miles of warm, sunny beach, Ocean City is a staple for beach vacations. Fishing, watertours and shopping are just a few things on the long list of things-to-do in Ocean City.

Spend your day in the sun, and your night strolling the boardwalk, to find some of the best beaches, thrills and food that the East Coast has to offer.

Capitola, CA

This quaint, oceansize town is California’s first ever beach-resort, and perhaps the nation’s most eclectic. Located in Santa Cruz, Capitola is decorated with brightly-colored shops, painted murals and glittering beaches.

Sight-seeing isn’t the only must-do thing in Capitola. Head to the water for boogie boarding, fishing and lounging at the beach.

Sanibel Island, FL

Known for its sunsets and seafood, and most importantly, its seashells… Sanibel Island is a “must” when it comes to beach vacations. Seashells and sand fill the glorious beaches of the island, so much so that “shelling” is the island’s most popular activity.

By the end of your trip, you’ll have a collection of sparkling seashells and have perfected the “Sanibel Stoop” (the classic, full-body bend that’s a sheller’s go-to stance.)

Saugatuck, MI

The best beaches don’t have to be on the ocean. When it comes to having great beaches, Saugatuck is the best of the Midwest, and Top 25 in the World according to Condé Nast Traveler. Just a short 2-hour drive from Chicago, this laid-back coastal town is celebrated for its restaurants and galleries just as much as its beaches.

Indulge in a weekend of wine tastings, or BYOB (in our case we’ll BYOKC.. Bring Your Own Kombucha Cocktails) and experience Saugatuck from a sailing cruise on Lake Michigan.

Lake Tahoe, CA

Beach town? Mountain town? If you ask us, you shouldn’t have to choose. Lake Tahoe has both.

Tahoe is the largest Alpine lake in North America, and it’s beauty is unmatched. We already know that being outdoors is important to you, especially in the summertime. With hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, an abundance of beaches and over 39 trillion gallons of crystal clear water, you’ll spend plenty of time outdoors.

Due to its versatile landscape, Tahoe is also a hotspot for outdoor festivals, concerts and sporting events.  Escape the heat and head up to the mountains, or embrace it while paddleboarding on the water. Our cans can do both.

Cape Cod, MA

Summer in Cape Cod means whale watching season. With several eclectic beach towns, the Cape offers some of the nation’s best tours, art festivals and of course, seafood.

Stay at an iconic bed and breakfast, like The Old Harbor Inn, or a cabin on Martha’s Vineyard Campground. Your day might look something like this: breakfast at the iconic Artcliff Diner, Mashpee Commons for shopping and ending with a sunset whale watching tour.

Sounds pretty good to us!

Browns Canyon, CO

This one’s for our adrenaline junkies. If your summer must-haves include just about anything to get your blood pumping, head to Browns Canyon. No matter your skill level, Brown’s Canyon lets you enjoy the glorious outdoors in ways you never have before.

Whether your horseback riding through Colorado’s wilderness, soaring over the mountains on a zipline tour or white water rafting down Colorado’s most thrilling rapids – you’re guaranteed to get that rush.

Badlands National Park, SD

Cedar Pass campground, which is operated by the National Parks Service, showcases the best of the Badlands. Surrounded with views of vast prairielands, hiking trails and native plants and animals, the Badlands is a naturalist’s paradise.

Whether you choose to camp in a tent, or an RV, the campground has you covered. With buttes and spires on full display, it has several amenities and access to the park’s many features that will elevate your camping experience.

Enjoy the rugged beauty of the Badlands with your friends and a mindful beverage.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, MI

The name speaks for itself. This natural beauty, located in the Upper Peninsula, offers some of the best of the Midwest. The jaw-dropping colors that inspired the name “Pictured Rocks,” come from the natural minerals that paint the 15-miles of cliffs lining Lake Superior.

While you’re here, be sure to take advantage of the crystal clear waters. Some of the best views can be seen while kayaking the shores of Gitchee Gumee. Home to waterfalls, beaches and sand dunes, this is a premium exploration destination!

Upper Mississippi River

If camping and hiking make you think, “been there done that,” let this be your next adventure. Explore the Missississippi from a houseboat. If this is your first houseboat experience, don’t let the word “boat” intimidate you. You’ll be joined by a guide for the first few hours of your trip to ensure that you’re well equipped for your excursion.

The river is lined with natural scenery, boat-in beaches and sandbars and small towns with tons of character. You can swim and socialize during the day, and let the water rock you to sleep at night.

Impress your friends with your sense of adventure, and your great taste in cocktails, and hop on the Mississippi.
