DIY Cocktails: Vitamin Sea

I am a big fan of using Kombucha in my cocktails; they add a complex flavour profile with very little work on my part. Added bonus? I can pretend I am drinking something healthy (even though it has a healthy dose of gin in it.)

My new go-to kombucha is from a brand called RISE. I love that their kombucha has a great sweet sour balance and none of that strong vinegary tastes that come with some kombuchas. It is perfectly balanced and oh-so delicious. Their new collection of 1G kombuchas also comes with only one gram of sugar…healthier, right?

NEW RISE 1g Kiwi & Pineapple Kombucha

This cocktail, Vitamin Sea, calls for RISE 1g Kiwi and Pineapple; a sweet yet tart combination for a tropical punch flavour. And I must admit, this combination of flavours make for a perfect summery drink.

So why not try this easy yet delicious summer cocktail or yourself?

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
