Think of this refreshing, tangy spritzer as a shrub shortcut. Let your muddler master the task of incorporating those mouthwateringly tart flavors while sweet berries, earthy mint, and floral honey bring balance. Feel free to use your favorite kombucha flavor, and switch out the fruit and herbs to your preference—peach and basil would also be incredible here.
