With summer right around the corner it’s time to think about some refreshing drinks that will cool you down on a hot day. There’s lemonade (or, limeade), iced tea and even iced coffee. But if you’re thinking of having some friends over, nothing beats a good sangria.
Made with fruit, sangria is more like a punch than anything else, but it usually contains a bit of alcohol, too, which makes it great for a party. It’s something everybody can agree upon and have a good time with.
I’m not much of a drinker, so I thought about what I could replace the alcohol with and still make this a fun drink that has a little zing to it. Of course the answer is kombucha. And while that does have trace amounts of alcohol in it—depending on which brand you buy—it’s more about the fizz than the buzz, and that makes it perfect for sangria. And as an added bonus, it’s good for your gut!
This recipe is really easy to make: stir everything together in a pitcher and refrigerate. Simple!
I hope you’ll give this Kombucha Sangria a try and let me know what you think. Comment below or hit me up on social media at @nutfreevegan.

[…] This Roasted Vegetable Buddha Bowl is really simple: it’s a few vegetables, some quinoa and a superb maple-Dijon dressing. Basic, but really nutritious with a lot of superfood goodness. And making it couldn’t be easier. You simply roast the three main vegetables, mix the dressing and assemble! That’s really great after a workout or when it’s the middle of the week and you want an awesome dinner but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen. It’s great hot or cold, too! And if you need a beverage to go along with it, I suggest this Kombucha Sangria. […]
