Come cool off and sip the season at our Botanical Mocktails & Probiotic Soda Workshop!
We’ll explore the bubbly, herbal world of seasonal drinks—from fizzy ferments to refreshing mixers that nourish body and spirit. Perfect for herbal beginners, fermentation-curious folks, and anyone looking to create beautiful, booze-free beverages for summer gatherings. (but you can totally add the booze if you want!)

You’ll learn:

• How to make probiotic sodas like wildflower kvass, fruit & ginger bug sodas, and herbal lacto-ferments

• The basics of ferment safety and troubleshooting

• How to infuse herbs into mocktail syrups, shrub bases, and seasonal switchels

• Favorite combinations for mood, digestion, and summer energy

In class you will:

• Make a Ginger Bug Starter — Learn how to cultivate your own natural soda culture using just ginger, sugar, and water.

• Create a Small-Batch Herbal Soda — Mix fruit, herbs, and your ginger bug to start a wild-fermented summer soda to take home and finish fermenting.

• Experiment with Garnishes — Try out garden-fresh garnishes, floral ice cubes, and rim salts to add flair to your herbal beverages.

• Sample & Sip — Enjoy a tasting flight of seasonal botanical drinks: fermented sodas, mocktail blends, and cooling herbal infusions.

Each participant will go home with:

• A bubbling ginger bug starter jar

• A fermenting herbal soda or shrub

• A printed recipe & inspiration zine

• The skills to confidently create probiotic and herbal drinks at home
