This non-alcoholic kombucha cocktail was put together by Bourne & Hollingsworth, which runs some of London’s most creative, vibrant events spaces and bars. Without doubt, it’s a fairly complex cocktail to put together, but great things come to those who wait. And besides, once you’ve made up enough sherbet (which is the time-consuming part), you can save it for a weekend of tasty treats. For the perfect Sustained Melody, start riffing with the recipe below.
Bourne & Hollingsworth originally posted this recipe on their Instagram channel. Here’s what they had to say…
“For this drink, we re-purpose three form of citrus flesh and peels in a homemade three citrus sherbet which once combined with the complex flavours of Seedlip Spice 94, tonka beans and REAL Kombucha gives you a melodiously balanced non-alcoholic spritz. Saline solution is super simple to make – give it a quick Google.”
