Mint Julep Kombucha Cocktail Recipe
This Mint Julep Kombucha Cocktail recipe has 4 ingredients and takes 5 minutes to make. Try this twist on a classic mint julep while you’re watching the derby or when you just want to wear a big hat and feel a little fancy.
A kombucha cocktail? I already know what you’re thinking. Before you roll your eyes at me, let me plead my case. I’ve been on a bit of a kombucha kick for awhile now. So much so that I’ve started brewing my own at home, which lead me to wonder what else I could do with it. If you are unfamiliar with kombucha, let me explain what it is. It’s fermented tea. Does that mean it’s alcoholic on its own? Barely. The alcohol content is so low (we’re talking about a half of one percent), that it isn’t an issue for me. Clearly, since I just threw a shot of bourbon in it.

11 of My Very Best Fall Recipes
Crisp fall air and leaves turning shades of red and burnished orange, the crackle of them under your feet as you walk down the street with hands snuggled deep inside your pockets. Autumn is by far my favorite season. The temperatures begin to cool down at night, calling for an extra blanket or a down comforter. This is something I miss now that I live south of the Mason Dixon line. It’s only been 3 and a half years, but I doubt I’ll ever really get used to the lack of (distinguishable) seasons.

Good For the Soul
Sometimes we get caught up in the everyday, letting other things go by the wayside. Our days become filled with the same routine: go to work, make dinner, wash dishes, wash clothes, clean the house, go grocery shopping, run errands, etc.
Life just seems to get in the way of having, well…. a life.
Often times, we don’t mean to let important things get pushed to the back burner and when we make time for them, we realize just how much they mean to us.
My visit with Sonali & Tracey was just that. It had been 6 years since the three of us had all been together, even though we are in touch with each other we hadn’t had actual face time. When we sat down and realized it had been that long, I think we were all a bit shocked.
The three of us had met in Culinary school and had become fast friends. We would pore over food journals and magazines as if they were salacious material in front of adolescent boys. We would laugh & refer to it (lovingly) as “food porn”, a term I still use with frequency I might add…
Just Graduated from Culinary School!
