• Fruity Desserts: Sorbet, fruit tarts, or berry parfaits.

Serving Tips:

Serve hard kombucha chilled in a glass to enjoy its natural effervescence and aromatic qualities. Gently swirl or invert the bottle to mix any natural sediment before pouring.

Hard kombucha is an innovative and trendy beverage option, offering a perfect balance of tangy flavors, light alcohol, and a healthier profile. Whether you're sipping at a sunny picnic or unwinding after a workout, hard kombucha is a unique and satisfying choice.
