ingredients and Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for this Mango Kombucha Margarita. Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this page for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

I used mango kombucha for this recipe which was perfectly sweet and balanced. Furthermore, I have also use healthade pomegranate and loved that flavor too, but any flavor or brand will work.

My favorite tequila is 21 seeds, for this recipe I used the orange flavor. Feel free to use your favorite type of tequila, I recommend using a light one.

A touch of triple sec adds a citrusy, almost like an orange-infused flavor, you can use Cointreau in replace.

Freshly squeeze lime juice is going to add a ton of flavor. If you don’t have fresh limes, you can use lime juice from the bottle, otherwise, lemon will be okay, but the flavor will be slightly different.

A small amount of agave helps sweeten up this drink, it’s totally optional.

What is kombucha?

Alright, so kombucha is basically fermented tea, but don’t let that scare you—it’s actually really good! It starts with black or green tea, sugar, and a SCOBY (which is this funky-looking “Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast” that works its magic). The SCOBY eats the sugar, ferments the tea, and turns it into this slightly fizzy, tangy, and lightly sweet drink. Think of it like a refreshing, probiotic-packed soda alternative!

You can find it in all sorts of fun flavors—mango, ginger, berry, even chai spice. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even brew your own at home (just be prepared to babysit your SCOBY like it’s a pet 🤣). Have you ever tried it? Or are you in the “it looks weird, I don’t trust it” camp?

how to make

ONE: In a cocktail shaker or glass, add in the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, agave and ice. Then, shake it up until it’s really well combined.

TWO: Rim a glass with tajin or salt and fill it will ice. Then, add in the liquid from the shaker only and top it off with mango kombucha. Mix and serve. Option to garnish with a lime wedge or mango slice and enjoy!

Tips and tricks

If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, feel free to use a protein shaker, or just mix everything together in a glass.

To rim your glass, brush a lime wedge around the rim and then dip and coat it in tajin that is sprinkled on a plate.

If you don’t have tajin, use salt or just nothing at all.

How to serve and store

Serve this kombucha margarita in a tajin rimmed glass, chilled and over ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and mango slice if desired.

Kombucha margarita is best served immediately. Furthermore, you want to store or make ahead, I would recommend storing without ice so it doesn’t get watered down.

Taste

This mango margarita with kombucha is sweet, tangy and fizzy. It’s not strong either, but you can always made it strong by adding in 1/2 oz more of tequila.
