When it comes to kombucha cocktails, nothing beats making a classic Cosmopolitan with Cranberry kombucha! An extra fizzy cocktail with a side of probiotics!

I have been experimenting with replacing juices and other mixers with kombucha for a while now. Kombucha tea makes an excellent cocktail mixer as its naturally very fizzy, a little sour, and can be sweet, depending on how it’s flavored.

One day while drinking a cranberry kombucha, I got the idea to test out making various kombucha cocktails, starting with the Cosmo!

One of my favorite drinks used to be a classic Cosmopolitan but I stopped ordering them a long time ago after I realized that the cranberry juice was basically a sugar bomb (especially the restaurant variety).

I tried making low sugar cosmos at home using Trader Joe’s unsweetened cranberry juice and let’s just say, there is a reason that recipe did NOT make it to my site.

This is such a fun drink and an excellent way to enjoy a classic cosmo without feeling crappy from all the added sugar. Plus, you get a natural boost of probiotics from the booch! Kombucha cocktails for the win!!

kombucha cosmopolitan ingredients:

  • Gluten-Free Vodka
  • Orange Liquor
  • Cranberry Kombucha
  • Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
  • Lots of Ice
  • Lime for Serving
  • Liquid Monkfruit or Stevia (optional)

kombucha cocktail tips

  • Sweetness: This kombucha cocktail features cranberry kombucha in place of sugary cranberry juice. The natural fizz and sweetness was just enough for me but if you need it a bit more sweet, I suggest adding 1 or 2 drops of liquid stevia or liquid monkfruit.
  • Kombucha: I used GT’s Cranberry Kombucha when I first tested this recipe but have since been brewing my own kombucha at home. Here is my tutorial on How To Brew Kombucha if you want to explore and experiment with homebrewing!
  • Make in Advance: I do not recommend making a batch of these in advance as the kombucha tea will lose most of its fizz and taste flat and way less interesting.
