After you’ve brewed your far share of ginger kombucha you will likely want to start branching out into more exotic flavors.
One of my favorite things about kombucha is the amount of creativity you can have in flavoring. The possibilities are endless!
Kombucha mixes well with so many different flavor combinations.
Here are some of the most popular kombucha flavors around!
The Best Kombucha Flavor Combinations
#1 Kiwi Ginger
Recipe:
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 diced kiwi
This is a great summer kombucha. The sweetness of the kiwi mixes really well with the ginger flavor.
#2 Watermelon Jolly Rancher
Recipe:
- 2 crushed up watermelon Jolly Ranchers
If you can use watermelon Jolly Ranches to infuse vodka why can’t you use them with kombucha? This flavor is a blast! It also usually results in a very carbonated kombucha so make sure you burp your bottles.
#3 Raspberry, Lemon, Ginger
Recipe:
- 1/4 cup raspberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger
This is always a crowd favorite. It also makes a great kombucha cocktail! The combination of tart and sour really blends well with the kombucha flavor.
#4 Mango Jalapeño
Recipe:
- 1/4 cup chopped mango
- Thumbnail size piece of diced jalapeño
Feeling adventurous? This spicy-sweet kombucha will really make the tastebuds feel alive. I recommend serving over ice.
#5 Strawberry Kiwi
Recipe:
- 2 tablespoons strawberries
- 2 tablespoons kiwi
This one is a crowd favorite. You really can’t go wrong with this one in the summer. If you are trying to introduce someone to kombucha, this is one of the best ways to do it!
#6 Mango Ginger Turmeric
Recipe:
- 2 tablespoons diced mango
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
Not only does this one taste great, but it also has the anti-inflammatory benefits of ginger and turmeric. This is a great one for anyone looking for a health boost.
#7 Blueberry-mint
Recipe:
- 1/4 cup sliced blueberries
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
This is my personal favorite. I always try to make a few of these every summer. The taste is simple, yet refreshing. It’s best to use fresh mint, but you can use dried if needed.
#8 Cherry lime
Recipe:
- 5 pitted cherries – chopped
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
Another amazing combo. Great for any Mexican themed party or if you are looking for a great tequila cocktail. I recommend blending with ice on a hot summers day.
#9 Honey lavender
Recipe:
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds
- 1 teaspoon of honey
Something completely different. The lavender flavor actually goes surprising well with kombucha. It’s a great option for anyone who is looking to branch out away from the fruit flavors.
#10 Vanilla date
Recipe:
- 1 tablespoon chopped dates
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
This one tastes exactly like cream soda! Need I say more? You will get a lot of natural sugars from the dates so make sure you burp your bottles after a couple of days.
#11 Lemon basil
Recipe:
- 1 tablespoon of basil
- 1 teaspoon of lemon
Another great option for those looking to branch out from the fruit-flavored kombucha. I’d recommend this one to anyone who considers themselves a kombucha connoisseur.
And there you have it! These are the top 11 flavors I’d recommend to anyone looking to explore all of the amazing flavors of kombucha.

No comment, I have a question. Are the measurements of the ingredients above for a 16 oz. bottle of second ferment?
Yes they are but feel free to tweak the amounts as per your taste preferences.
