Why the Kava Gin Gimlet is Awesome
Hi there! Welcome to KavaKist, where we talk about everything kava. I’m Matt Warren, and I started Psychedelic Water, a kava drink company. Today, I want to tell you about a cool twist on a classic drink—the Kava Gin Gimlet. This drink mixes kava, which helps you relax, with gin, which brings a fresh, piney taste.
What is Kava?
Before we talk about the drink, let’s learn about kava. Kava is a plant from the Pacific Islands. People drink it because it helps them feel calm. They make a drink from the plant’s root. Kava is safe for your liver if you drink it responsibly. Scientists now say it’s safe and fun to use.
The Gin Gimlet’s History
The Gin Gimlet is an old drink from the 1800s. British sailors first made it to help prevent scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C. Now, it’s a fancy drink made with gin, lime juice, and simple syrup.
Adding Kava to Drinks
You might wonder why we put kava in drinks. Kava helps you relax while gin gives a refreshing taste. I started making the Kava Gin Gimlet out of curiosity. After many tries, I found a mix that my friends and customers love.
