3 Cocktails to Try with Brockmans Gin & Health-Ade Kombucha
By Sophia DeVito
A New Year brings resolutions and new beginnings.
Many often aim to improve everything from lifestyle and relationships to diet and overall health. Brockmans Gin has partnered with LA-based Health-Ade Kombucha to bring to consumers a new way of thinking. Instead of spending the month giving up your favorite cocktail, the two have created a series of interestingly tasting cocktails for the health-conscious drinker. These cocktails will combine the exceptional mix of berry notes and botanicals from the gin with the wildly popular Kombucha cocktail mixer alternative.
For those who haven’t had Kombucha, it is a fermented, lightly effervescent, sweetener black or green tea. It is commonly consumed for its perceived health benefits. While studies are limited, there has been belief that Kombucha offers probiotic benefits that help to promote a healthier immune system.
Brockmans signature taste comes from the blend of botanicals like blueberries, blackberries, coriander, bittersweet orange peel, and juniper berries. The result is a gin that is intensely smooth with a complex taste experience.
“With this in mind and guided by a keen sense of curiosity, the Brockmans team joined forces with Health-Ade® Kombucha to conduct exploratory cocktail development,” said Matthew Argenti, Brand Director USA, Brockmans Gin. “We were thrilled to discover that Kombucha combined with Brockmans Gin creates deliciously complex and lower-calorie cocktails with an unexpected twist. They offer the perfect cocktail alternative to help kick off the new year on track.”
