Can you taste it?! No not the drink… the 3 day weekend on the horizon! (But, if you can taste the drink from these pics then A+ to me 😛😛😛)!
Labor Day weekend is ahead aka another excuse to gather, socialize and DRINK (as if i needed any more excuses 😆). I’ve got to say though… this is an especially cool cocktail recipe, different than i’ve ever done before… dun dun dun… because KOMBUCHA!
Haven’t you heard? Kombucha cocktails are all the new rage! Haha well maybe they’re still on the up and up, but I have been seeing them pop up at bars around the city and wanted to try and tackle this new ingredient head on! What’s even more interesting is that I’m not even sure if I’m a fan of kombucha. 😯🤭My mind was unmade for awhile but definitely more recently I’ve begun to develop a palette for it – and man does it go great with alcohol! (I mean…. afterall…it is fermented… and it does have an ABV 😉).
I’m super excited about this new cocktail recipe – The Pink Chicas. Named after the “Pink Lady Apple” flavored Health-Ade Kombucha used in the drink, with a tequila twist of course! 💃💃💃
Ingredients (for 1):
1.5oz Blanco Tequila (I use Espolon, great bang for your buck)
2oz fresh pressed bartlett pear juice*
.5oz fresh lemon juice
3oz Health Ade Organic Pink Lady Apple Kombucha
1 pack fresh rosemary
1 pinch sea salt
*I honestly couldn’t find pear juice anywhere 🤷🏼♀️ so I snagged this all natural apple pear juice at Whole Foods, which worked just fine… IMO
Process:
- Add rosemary and lemon juice to cocktail shaker and gently muddle
- Add the tequila, pear juice, sea salt with ice to the cocktail shaker –> shealth hake vigorously for 15 seconds
- Strain the drink over a fine strainer into a 12oz highball glass with ice, or if you’re like me and (for no reason) hate those glasses, opt for a stemless wine glass or large rocks glass.
- Top up glass with the Health-Ade Organic Pink Lady Apple Kombucha, (you add or subtract amount based on your affinity for kombucha lol I find it mainly adds a nice carbonation but my GF didn’t like the drink overly kombucha’d)
- Garnish with a sprig of rosemary 🌿(and edible flower if your feelin’ extra cute) 💁🏼🌸
Even if you’re not a kombucha fan, I urge you to take a risk, you can’t knock it until you try it! And (IMO) the kombucha isn’t too much of a dominate flavor as it is an effervescent addition. 👌🏼😄
The Pink Chicas is great for backyard hangs, and Labor Day weekend fun! I’ll be off to NYC for the long weekend and PUMPED – too many drinks in my future though. 😬 Hope everyone has a great holiday and more importantly, a great #SippinSunday today! 🍹🍹
✨ Cheers! XX, Kendall ✨
