Looks Like 2019's New Trend Is Adding Kombucha To Everything

Kombucha and ice cream, name a more iconic duo.

Let me start this off by saying that I am your typical Basic Bitch™. I am low-key addicted to iced coffee, I wear Nikes with dresses and I think Britney's best song is "Toxic".

So when kombucha became a real ~thing~ a couple of years ago, you best believe I was more than happy to fork out $6 a bottle for it before posting it on my Insta stories.

(But seriously, kombucha is delicious and pretty good for your gut health.)

So for everyone else who loves it as much as I do, I have good news! 2019 seems to be ushering in a new trend of mixing kombucha in with other things.

Like coffee.

Yep, there's a Sydney cafe, Frankie's, bottling up the delicious combo of cold brew and kombucha. I gotta say, it's actually really yum...to the point where I had to physically stop myself cracking open a second bottle as soon as I finished the first.

Or cocktails.

It really is the best of both worlds. Some bars around the world have started introducing kombucha to their cocktail list and people are not mad about it. Or you can just DIY it at home. From personal experience I can say that kombucha and gin go really well together, as do a strawberry booch with red wine. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

And juice.

Boost Juice is now adding kombucha to some of their smoothies and juices and I just gotta say that a watermelon lychee booch juice sounds INCREDIBLE.

How about a kombucha popsicle?

NY-based The Better Pop is serving up these popsicles which sound like a brilliant summer treat. You could also make your own by blending up fruit or juice with kombucha and freezing it.

Or go a little heavier with a kombucha spider.

Probably known to non-Australians as a ~kombucha float~, this is basically just your fave ice cream topped up with some fresh kombucha. You can find it in a number of places if you know where to look, like this place in Atlanta, this one in San Diego or just make your own.

There are some bakeries out there even putting kombucha in their cakes and frosting.

This bakery in Chicago seems to be incorporating it into a bunch of different types of cupcakes. There's probably not enough in there to benefit you in anyway but it certainly sounds like it could be delicious!

So it looks like 2019 is fast becoming the year where we start seeing crazy kombucha creations everywhere.

And I for one can't wait.
