Think of this refreshing, tangy spritzer as a shrub shortcut. Put your muddler to work incorporating sweet berries, earthy mint, and floral honey to balance the mouthwateringly tart kombucha. Feel free to use your favorite kombucha flavor, and switch out the fruit and herbs to your preference—peach and basil would also be incredible here.
