Beet & Berry Kefir Cocktail

The Wild Fermentary Beet & Berry Kefir Soda has such an interesting depth of flavour – tart, a little sweet and earthy – not to mention a stunning colour, so it is the perfect choice for a party drink, either alone or made into a cocktail. You could simply pour straight over some berry ice and garnish with mint, but here I’ve gone all out to highlight those wow flavours.
