What’s So Cool About Kava?

Kava is a plant from places like Fiji and Tonga. People there have used it for hundreds of years in ceremonies to feel calm and connected. Besides making you feel relaxed, kava has health benefits too. It reduces stress without making you feel dizzy like alcohol can. When you drink a Kava Pomegranate Cosmo, you’re enjoying a mix of history and wellness.

Why Try a Kava Pomegranate Cosmo?

The idea for the Kava Pomegranate Cosmo came from a fun experiment by Matt Warren, one of the founders of the kava drink brand Psychedelic Water. Matt was playing around with kava extract and his favorite pomegranate juice. He decided to mix it with lime and cranberry and, just like that, the Kava Pomegranate Cosmo was born.

Everyone at Matt’s backyard party loved the drink because of its bright color and relaxing effects of kava. Mixing pomegranate with kava makes the drink not only tasty but also full of healthy stuff like vitamins.
