Kombucha Dark and Stormy Mocktail
A spicy ginger-lime cooler with black tea and molasses for the dark, stormy depth of the classic, without the rum.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1/4 teaspoon unsulphured molasses
- 1 ounce chilled strong black tea
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 4 ounces chilled spicy ginger beer
- 1 cup ice
- 1 lime wheel, for garnish
Directions
- Stir the dark brown sugar, hot water, and molasses in a tall glass until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool for a minute so it does not melt the ice too quickly.
- Add the black tea, lime juice, and apple cider vinegar, then fill the glass with ice. Top with the ginger beer and stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with the lime wheel and serve right away while the bubbles are bright.
