Notes
Make sure to taste your fermented mixer before adding sweetener to your cocktails. Their sweetness varies drastically by brand and by flavor, so you don’t want to add any more sugar than you need to. I don’t like my cocktails to be overly sweet, so I usually buy low-sugar kefir or kombucha and add a teaspoon or two of agave for more flavor when needed.
