This Quick and Easy Sangria with Kombucha is a fruity & fun drink for any occasion!
When it comes to alcohol, I like simple drinks so we stick to wine and and beer at home, maybe a margarita or Moscow Mule.
I created this easy sangria with the same idea in mind. If it wasn’t going to be simple, I would likely never make it again.
I love how it turned out and think I can handle adding this to my repertoire. Sangria is a wine-based cocktail that typically includes fruit and brandy. I swapped out the brandy for the super nutritious Kombucha!
Sangria can be made ahead of time to let the fruit flavors marry with the booze, but this was a quick 2 minute drink. I took some chopped fruit and put it in a glass, drizzled a little honey in there, a squeeze of lime and topped it with Kombucha and a light Pinot Noir.
I love Kombucha (if you’re not familiar, it’s a fermented drink with health benefits) and I was super excited to try this new-to-me brand at the Foodie Boot Camp, Mamchari Kombucha. I used the Lavender Honey flavor which is DELICIOUS, but you could use any Kombucha.
It looks like they are exclusive to Utah, but I am going to have to ask our Whole Foods if they will start carrying them.
Pinot Noir is a nice light red wine for sangria but you could also use a Merlot or Cabernet. If you use cold Kombucha and wine then you don’t need to add ice.
Make sure to use a good quality one too!
This was so fun to make, I might have to start branching out and experimenting! What is your favorite holiday cocktail?

This recipe is good for one person – if I have a few people over I don’t want to be making one drink after another. I wish you had of figured out the measurements for a punch old or a large picture of drinks. This is a good idea though.
Thanks. When we make drinks it’s only 2 or 3 so just like with Moscow Mules, it’s easier to make them individual for us. I do get for a party, you’d want a pitcher. I can work on that for you and will let you know when updated.
I don’t know about kombucha. It scares me. My favorite holiday cocktail other than a Moscow Mule is cranberry Mimosa. Just add some cranberry juice to champagne and top with fresh lime juice. Yummy, pretty and light!
This is actually the first time I’ve heard of the term Kombucha. It looks so good! I’m excited to try it, especially for new year’s eve celebration. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Love lots, xoxo
