Why This Kombucha Mocktail Recipe Works
- Easy: With only three ingredients, this ginger kombucha mocktail will be ready in minutes. After you juice the grapefruit, pour it in a glass with kombucha and garnish with rosemary.
- Refreshing and Balanced: Grapefruit juice and lemon give this fizzy mocktail citrusy brightness, and the ginger provides a little spice for a refreshing beverage.
- Fun: Just because you’re not ordering a cocktail doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have something exciting to drink. Serve it in a fancy glass to elevate the experience.
- Healthy: Grapefruit juice provides essential vitamins and antioxidants, and the kombucha offers probiotics. Plus, this drink is lower in sugar and calories than most sodas and alcoholic beverages.
- Versatile: You can swap out the kombucha and juice for different flavor profiles. Think lime kombucha and pineapple juice or raspberry kombucha and cranberry juice. Get creative and have fun with it!
- Enjoy Anytime, Anywhere: Since this mocktail recipe is so easy to make, it would be great to serve at a party as a nonalcoholic option or at home at the end of a long day. I can also see myself sipping it on hot summer days.
Ingredients

Kombucha Mocktail FAQs
Kombucha is a fermented tea with living probiotics and organic acids, expertly brewed to help your gut.
Kombucha is fermented, so it does contain some alcohol. However, it’s only trace amounts and below 0.5% ABV, which classifies it as a nonalcoholic drink.
If you are looking for a kombucha cocktail, it does mix well with alcohol. Add an ounce of your favorite liquor, like gin or vodka.
Do the Math: Multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you’ll need. So, if you want 10, you’ll need five cups each of juice and kombucha.
Juice your grapefruits up to two days before and store it in an airtight container. If you need to save time, you can buy store-bought grapefruit juice, but look for the highest-quality one with no added ingredients.
Serve: Pour the kombucha into a pitcher with the grapefruit right before your guests arrive so it’ll still be fizzy. When you pour the drinks, garnish with rosemary.
