Mocktails aren’t just for designated drivers anymore—they’ve become a playground for creative, health-forward drinks. And when you mix the probiotic goodness of kombucha with the rich, savoury notes of dark soy, you get a unique, refreshing sip that’s as good for your gut as it is for your taste buds.

In My Chinese Kitchen, I love experimenting with unexpected pairings. The sweetness and tang of kombucha balance beautifully with the umami depth of Winn Sauce and a dash of winn red chilli sauce for a gentle, warming finish. This drink feels indulgent but still fits the Easy Peasy Chinesey motto—it’s simple to make, packed with flavour, and surprisingly wholesome.

Why Kombucha + Dark Soy Works

Kombucha brings natural effervescence and gut-friendly probiotics, while dark soy (made richer with the magic of Winn Foods) adds a caramel-like savoury tone that rounds out the drink. Think of it as a healthier twist on a cola—without the sugar crash.

How to Make It

1. In a tall glass, mix:

   • 150 ml chilled kombucha (plain or ginger works best)

   • 1 tsp Winn Sauce for umami

   • ½ tsp dark soy for colour and depth

   • A dash of winn red chilli sauce (optional) for a spicy kick

2. Add ice cubes and stir gently.

3. Garnish with a slice of lime and fresh mint.

Serving Tip

Serve this mocktail in a clear glass to show off its rich, earthy hue and fizzy sparkle. Pair it with dim sum, dumplings, or even spicy Hakka noodles for a complete gut-friendly feast.

At Winn Foods, we believe that great flavour should never come at the cost of health. With this kombucha & dark soy mocktail, you can sip happy knowing it’s as nourishing as it is delicious. Cheers to drinks that are both good and good for you!
