Kombucha Cosmo

One Kombucha Cosmo, please!

Kombucha Cosmo, made with GTs Gingerberry Kombucha, Tito's Vodka, cranberry juice, a splash of pomegranate juice and spritz of fresh lime.

Woot Woot its New Year’s Eve, my favorite holiday!  A time for starting fresh, setting intentions, turning a new leaf and beginning a year with optimism and wonderment!  Time to celebrate with a kombucha cocktail!

I don’t always post recipes for cocktails, but when I do…they are made with kombucha!

I am OBSESSED with kombucha…home-brewed or store-bought.  No where on Cape Cod has yet to start an on-tap kombucha bar, but when they do I will be there! If you’re not familiar with kombucha, it is a fermented probiotic drink made with tea, sugar and a scoby…or “the mother” mixed together and brewed for up to 3 weeks producing a delicious carbonated beverage.  This beverage in my opinion is the wonder drink.  It has been said to destroy free radicals, improve eye sight, decrease risk of heart disease, prevent going gray…and the list goes on and on and on!

I’m not going to pretend like drinking alcohol is extremely healthy for you, but I fully believe in the motto “everything in moderation…including moderation!”  Heck, it’s New Year’s Eve…time to live it up!  Things will be getting wild and crazy in our house this year with these Kombucha Cosmos!  Made with GTs Gingerberry Kombucha, Tito’s Vodka, cranberry juice, a splash of pomegranate juice and spritz of fresh lime.  (I’m not paid by GTs Kombucha or Tito’s Vodka, but if either of you are reading I’d be happy to concoct kombucha cocktails on the regular…hint hint!)

I love the combination of sweet potatoes, black beans and avocado. I use these three ingredients together at least once a week for my family’s meals. Something about this trifecta is super satisfying and easy to incorporate into so many recipes. Oh yea, and they are incredibly healthy for you! In fact, all three are on my “superfood” list and here’s why:

Sweet Potatoes: Loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C and fiber, which can help with controlling glucose levels.

Black Beans: Help lower cholesterol naturally due to their high fiber, antioxidants, folic acid and magnesium content.

Avocados: An excellent source of monounsaturated fatty acids, which may combat inflammation in the body.
