How We Got the Idea
Making It Up in the Kitchen
Our co-founder, Matt Warren, was in his kitchen after a long day. He mixed some kava with vodka and berries he found in his fridge. After one sip, he knew this was something special. And that’s how the Kava Berry Vodka Smash was born.
Mixing Old and New
This drink is more than just tasty. It’s a fun mix of old kava traditions from the Pacific Islands and new flavors. It’s a way to enjoy something old in a new, exciting way.
Why Use Vodka and Berries?
We chose vodka because it mixes well without taking over the taste. The berries add fun flavors and colors plus vitamins, making this drink yummy and healthy.
