Sparkling Kombucha Berry Cocktail

If you are looking for a healthier refreshing cocktail to serve for the 4th of July, have I got the drink for you!  It is easy to make, and tastes refreshing and delicious, yet it is healthy.  The base is actually kombucha, and I jazz it up with fresh mint and berries.  Kombucha is a drink that is fermented so it is good for your gut to replenish the healthy bacteria.  If that sounds weird, don’t worry, all you need to know is it is good for you and delicious.  With the peppermint, lemon and berries added to it, it becomes a classy drink fit for a celebration!
