Elevate your outdoor adventures with these easy-to-mix Brew Dr. Kombucha campfire cocktails and mocktails. Perfect for the trailhead or the tent.
There is a specific kind of magic that happens when the sun dips below the treeline and the campfire starts to crackle. Whether you’ve just finished a grueling 10-mile hike or you’re just settling into your favorite local campsite, the "apres-trail" drink is a sacred tradition.
At Brew Dr., our roots are in the Pacific Northwest, where the trail is never far away. We believe your camp beverage should be as raw and real as the landscape around you. By using Brew Dr. Kombucha as a mixer, you’re adding botanical depth and refreshing carbonation without the need for complex syrups or artificial mixers.
Here are four "backpack-friendly" recipes to try on your next trip:
Calming, herbal, and fresh.
The Base: Brew Dr. Clear Mind
The Kick: 2 oz of your favorite gin
The Method: Store your gin and kombucha in the cooler so they’re nice and cold! Pour the gin directly into your camp cup, top with Clear Mind, and garnish with sprig of scorched rosemary. The aromatics from the rosemary bring out the gin’s botanicals and complement the mint and rosemary in the kombucha.
Lightweight, spicy, and rewarding.
The Base: Brew Dr. Mountain Ginger
The Kick: 2 oz of your favorite bourbon or rye
The Method: Pour the bourbon directly into your camping mug over ice (or chilled river stones!), top with Mountain Ginger, and garnish with a squeeze of fresh lime if you have it. The organic cane sugar in Brew Dr. balances the heat of the ginger and the bite of the whiskey perfectly.
For clear-headed stargazing.
The Base: Brew Dr. Love
The Twist: A splash of sparkling water and a sprig of charred rosemary from the fire.
The Method: The floral notes of Love are elevated by the smokiness of a charred rosemary garnish. It’s a sophisticated, non-alcoholic way to toast to a successful day of exploring.
The Base: Brew Dr. Clear Mind
The Kick: 1.5 oz Silver Tequila
The Method: Clear Mind was designed for mental clarity, and its savory herbal notes play beautifully with the agave in tequila. Mix in a reusable tumbler and enjoy the crisp, botanical finish.
Pro Tip: Clear Mind and Love are available in 12oz cans! Cans are 100% recyclable and much lighter for packing in and packing out than glass. Leave the trail better than you found it!
