- Add Ice: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Pour Orange Juice and Ginger Kombucha: Measure 30 ml of freshly squeezed orange juice and 100 ml of ginger kombucha, then pour both into the glass over the ice.
- Top with Tonic Water: Fill the remaining space in the glass with tonic water to add effervescence and balance the flavors.

Notes
- You can adjust the amount of ginger kombucha and tonic water according to your desired sweetness and fizziness.
- For a sweeter version, add a small amount of honey or agave syrup before mixing.
- Crushing cranberries slightly releases their tartness but avoid over-mashing to maintain texture.
- Rosemary can be lightly bruised before garnishing to release more aroma.
- Use freshly squeezed orange juice to maximize freshness and flavor.
- This tonic is best served cold and consumed promptly to enjoy carbonation.
