Strawberry & Pineapple Kombucha

A tropical-leaning kombucha with strawberry and pineapple juice — lighter and brighter than it sounds.

About This Drink

Strawberry and pineapple is a combination that could easily tip into something that tastes like a smoothie or a children's drink, but Hip Pop keep it in check. The fruit juice is from concentrate, and the kombucha fermentation base — green and black tea — adds enough dryness and acidity to prevent the sweetness from dominating. At 14 kcal and 2.6g of sugar per 100ml, it sits at the lighter end of Hip Pop's range alongside the Ginger & Yuzu. No artificial sweeteners, no stevia. The carbonation is fine and lively, which helps carry the fruit flavour without making it seem heavy. This one probably travels best in terms of broad appeal — the flavour profile is familiar and accessible, and it works as a mixer with spirits or simply on its own over ice. Available in 330ml cans from The Alcohol Free Co and Hip Pop direct.
