The Kombucha Sunrise is a refreshing and healthy mocktail that makes the most of the subtly sweet and tangy flavors of pineapple, orange, and lime juice. While kombucha is taking over the world as the favorite probiotic drink, it still requires a little sugar to make the fermentation process bubble. So it's the perfect base for this cocktail that is both non-boozy and not overly sweet.
The Kombucha Sunrise was born in our test kitchen as we were looking for new and innovative ways to use our favorite fermented tea drink. We wanted to create a mocktail that was both refreshing and flavorful, and that would appeal to a wide range of palates. After experimenting with various combinations of fruit juices and spices, we landed on the perfect recipe for the Kombucha Sunrise.

Why It Works
The combination of pineapple, orange, and lime juices creates a bright, citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the subtle sweetness of the kombucha.
The lime juice adds a touch of tartness that balances out the sweetness of the fruit juices and the kombucha.
Optional honey or maple syrup can be added to taste, but we recommend starting with a small amount and adding more as needed to achieve your desired level of sweetness.
