I have been making these mocktinis this week and I am loving them! This month's issue of Whole Living had an article on mocktinis that you can enjoy this summer and this recipe stood out the most for me. I love bloody marys and bloody beers and I feel this drink slightly resembled them due to the citrus tomato taste. The magazine discussed how you get lycopene from the tomato paste and probiotics from the Kombucha, which makes it a healthier summer drink option. They also suggested trading the Kombucha for a lager to make it a real cocktail. I haven't tried it yet, but I am sure it would be delicious! I made a large pitcher of this drink when my parents were visiting and I just covered the pitcher with plastic wrap in order to keep some of the fizz from the Kombucha. My mom added vodka to her drink and it was very tasty and didn't change the flavor of the drink.
