Tangerine Penicillin

My cocktail recipes usually develop around whatever I’m doing in my day-to-day life. As I come across items that aren’t traditionally used in cocktails it only makes the process more interesting. I am really into Kombucha at the moment and when I was in my local store I came across KYLA Hard Kombucha with a hint of Ginger Tangerine and immediately wanted to take it home to experiment.

I bought the ginger tangerine flavor and for some reason, a Penicillin cocktail came to mind. The taste of fresh ginger in KYLA with the tart tangerine worked perfectly with whiskey and lemon. I wanted some earthy notes also so instead of using regular simple syrup I swapped in a little agave syrup and it rounded everything out without making the cocktail too sweet.

Recipe:

• 1 ounce whiskey
• 1 ounce lemon juice
• ½ ounce agave syrup
• 2 ounces KYLA Hard Kombucha with a hint of Ginger Tangerine

Method:

1. Combine whiskey, lemon juice, and agave syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice
2. Shake hard to chill and combine ingredients
3. Fine strain into a rocks glass over an ice cube or fresh ice
4. Top with Kombucha
5. Garnish & Enjoy!
