For those of you unfamiliar with kombucha, it’s tea fermented with yeast to produce a bubbly, probiotic-containing beverage with a unique sweet-sour quality. These characteristics make it especially great for gut health, immune support and increased energy.

When it comes to the holidays, try swapping out your usual alcoholic cocktail with one of these yummy (and healthy) kombucha mocktails. Although kombucha does contain a small amount of alcohol (usually less than 1 per cent), you’re unlikely to feel the after effects of a night of boozing with these recipes!
