There’s something magical about sipping a refreshing drink that balances sweet, tangy, and slightly sparkling flavors. Our Wild Berry Kombucha recipe, offers both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic version for you — making it the perfect choice for any occasion.
What is a Wild Berry Lillet?
It’s a sparkling, berry-infused blend that uses the smooth, slightly floral notes of Lillet Blanc combined with the fizzy, gut-lovin’ goodness of our Mixed Berry Kombucha flavor.
For those opting for our mocktail version, the taste remains equally satisfying, with the sweetness of grape juice or non-alcoholic vermouth balancing the kombucha’s natural tang. It’s a delightful, bubbly alternative to traditional cocktails that still feels fancy and celebratory.
Let’s dive into the details of this easy-to-make drink recipe and explore the health benefits of kombucha along the way.
Ingredients for Your Wild Berry Lillet
This recipe uses two simple ingredients, but the star here is the kombucha — which provides a refreshing, fizzy punch. Whether you’re looking for a sugar-free kombucha or something with zero sugar, Liquid Remedy offers a delicious 5 calorie beverage that’s ideal for this drink.
For the Cocktail Version:
- Lillet Blanc: The foundation of the cocktail version, offering a crisp, citrusy flavor with subtle floral notes. It adds depth to the drink’s profile.
- Liquid Remedy’s Mixed Berry Kombucha: The no sugar star ingredient, providing fizz and a burst of juicy berry flavors, while supporting gut health.
- Frozen or Fresh Berries: Not only do the berries add a natural sweetness, but they also elevate the drink with their vibrant colors, making it as visually stunning as it is delicious. Perfect for both garnish and flavor enhancement, the berries bring a fresh, festive touch to every sip!
- Ice Cubes: Essential for chilling the drink and maintaining the perfect refreshing temperature.
For the Non-Alcoholic Mocktail Version:
- White Grape Juice or Non-Alcoholic Vermouth: This replaces the Lillet Blanc, offering a sweet and slightly tart base that pairs beautifully with the kombucha without the alcohol.
How to Make a Wild Berry Lillet Mocktail
Our non-alcoholic version is perfect for those who want all the celebratory feels of a cocktail without the booze. Whether you’re hosting a gathering and need non-alcoholic drinks for parties or simply want a good non-alcoholic drink to make at home, this mocktail is the answer.
By swapping the Lillet Blanc for white grape juice or a non-alcoholic vermouth, you retain the complexity of the original while keeping it alcohol-free. The fizzy, sparkling kombucha gives the drink that zesty pop, making it feel special, while the fresh berries add natural sweetness and a burst of color.

Expert Tips
- Adjust the sweetness: If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, feel free to add a little bit of your favorite sweetener, like monk fruit, honey or agave. For a more tangy twist, you can add a splash of lemon or lime juice to brighten things up.
- Frozen berries are your friend: Not only do they keep your drink chilled without diluting it, but they also add an extra burst of flavor. Try experimenting with different berry combinations for a unique twist each time!
- Keep it fizzy: When making your Wild Berry Lillet, be sure to top it with fresh kombucha just before serving to keep the bubbles popping. You want that crisp, sparkling sensation to carry through to every sip.
Serving Ideas
While the basic Wild Berry Kombucha Lillet recipe is fantastic on its own, there are plenty of ways to get creative with your presentation and flavors. Feel free to play around and get creative:
- Herb it up: Add a sprig of fresh mint or basil for an herbal twist that pairs wonderfully with the berry flavors.
- Switch up the fruit: Try using sliced citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruits for a fresh citrus kick. Other fruits like mango, peach or cherry could be fun too!
- Infuse flavors: For extra depth, infuse your drink with a hint of ginger or a dash of vanilla by using cocktail bitters.
- Make it a mocktail bar: If you’re hosting a party, set up a mocktail bar where guests can make their own drinks using different kombucha flavors. We offer a variety of kombucha flavors, so you can offer a range of fruit-forward, sugar-free kombucha options that will please everyone.
