Scale
Fruit and Sweetener
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
Beverages
- 1 12-ounce bottle kombucha (ginger or strawberry flavored recommended)
- 4 ounces ginger beer
Garnish
- Fresh mint or basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook Blueberries: Place the blueberries and honey in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the berries burst and release their juice.
- Muddle Berries: Turn off the heat and transfer the cooked blueberries to a jar or bowl. Add fresh raspberries and about 1/2 cup of kombucha. Muddle the mixture until the berries are somewhat smashed and combined.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill two glasses with crushed ice to chill and ready them for the smash.
- Assemble Drinks: Divide the smashed berry and kombucha mixture evenly into each glass. Top each glass with more kombucha, leaving space for the ginger beer.
- Add Ginger Beer: Pour ginger beer into each glass, finishing the drink with some smashed berry mixture on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh mint or basil leaves if desired, and serve immediately for a refreshing burst of flavor.

- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Adjust honey quantity based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Feel free to experiment with different kombucha flavors like ginger, strawberry, or lemon.
- For a non-alcoholic version, ensure the ginger beer contains no alcohol.
