Recommended by gordon on Apr 4, 2008

I know, I know, team made by fermenting mushrooms sounds gnarly but it is actually super-tasty and is apparently super-healthy for you too. Known as a "probiotic" food, Kombucha is made out of black tea, a bit of sugar, and a yeast/fungi combo (not a mushroom actually) that all gets mixed together and ferments, taking out most of the caffeine and sugar leaving a naturally fizzing tangy/sweet and slightly vinegary drink. Again, I know, does not sound awesome but I have to say I really love the stuff and like High Country kombucha the best.

Maybe it is an acquired taste but I really look forward to swilling some of this at the end of the day. Does not pack the wallop that vodka does, but is a lot better for me. Plus it gives me a lot of energy and my body now seems to really crave it (in a healthy way, not a compulsive or addicitive way).

Try it and see. Just forget it was made by rotting fungi or maybe remind yourself that wine is made in a not too dissimilar way. Def try the goji berry flavor. Sweet berry taste plus lots of anti-oxidants
