Tart, effervescent, with a hint of sweetness and full of ginger flavor….our Ginger Jun Cocktail is a refreshing way to end your day, with a dose of gut-healthy bacteria to boot.

If you’re not familiar with Jun tea, it’s a fermented drink made with green tea and raw honey, similar to Kombucha. The Jun base is a natural probiotic, and like other fermented foods, it helps replenish your gut with friendly bacteria—a great aid to the digestive system. It's often referred to as the “Champagne of Kombucha” because of its delicate taste and high-quality ingredients. Our favorite? Check out Dragonfly Jun

Your microbiome (or gut bacteria) is home to about 80% of your immune system. Not only that, your gut health is also directly related to other aspects of well being - like mental health, chronic illnesses, obesity, anxiety and more. So that’s why we love these gut-healthy cocktails or “mocktails” (no alcohol required)!
