Chill Out with a Kava Chocolate Martini: A Deliciously Relaxing Recipe

What is Kava?

Kava is a plant from the South Pacific that has been used in ceremonies for a long time. People make a drink from its roots, which helps them relax and feel good.

Why Make a Kava Chocolate Martini?

Matt Warren, who co-founded Psychedelic Water, created this drink for a holiday party. He wanted to make something fun and relaxing. That’s how the Kava Chocolate Martini came to be.

Ingredients

To make a Kava Chocolate Martini, you’ll need:

1. Kava powder or kava extract
2. Dark chocolate liqueur
3. Vodka or a non-alcoholic substitute
4. Coconut milk or cream
5. Ice cubes
6. Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
7. Optional: Sweetener (like honey or agave syrup)

How to Make It

Step 1: Prepare the Kava

If you have kava powder, mix it with water as the package says. If you’re using kava extract, blend it with some water.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, mix your kava, dark chocolate liqueur, vodka (or the non-alcoholic option), and coconut milk or cream. Add sweetener if you like.

Step 3: Shake and Chill

Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake it well. This will mix and cool the drink.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Strain the drink into a martini glass. Sprinkle chocolate shavings or cocoa powder on top.

Tips for a Great Drink
