Summer is officially here! The days are getting longer and warmer, which means we’re officially in that summer state of mind. 

With Summer comes BBQ’s, pool (or beach) days, and evenings spent outside with friends. 

We’ve partnered up with our friends at Don Julio to share three delicious cocktail recipes. Each recipe pairs our Mint Limeade flavor with either premium tequila or mezcal for that uniquely refreshing twist on the classic cocktail recipe. Read on for 3 kombucha cocktail recipes you’re sure to be sipping on all Summer long!
