What is the Kava Tequila Mojito?
Hey there! Welcome to the world of the Kava Tequila Mojito. It’s a super cool drink that mixes relaxation and refreshment. If you love trying new drinks, this one is for you! Matt Warren, one of the founders of Psychedelic Water, discovered kava during his travels. Now, he’s sharing this amazing drink with us.
What is Kava?
Kava is a special drink made from a root found in the South Pacific. People in places like Fiji and Tonga have been drinking it for a very long time during special ceremonies.
What makes kava special? The root has something called kavalactones. These help you feel calm and relaxed without making you feel dizzy or hungover like alcohol can. It’s a great drink for chilling out and having fun with friends.
Adding a Tequila Twist
Let’s talk about the mojito first. A classic mojito has lime, mint, sugar, soda water, and rum. It’s a super fresh and summery drink.
But we’re doing something a bit different. Instead of rum, we use tequila for a fun twist. Tequila gives the drink a new, interesting flavor. Mixing it with kava makes a perfect combo that’s both exciting and calming.
Mixing Kava and Tequila Mojito
Why does this mix work so well? Kava helps you relax, and tequila gives a little happy buzz. Together, they make a drink that’s perfect for socializing or relaxing after a busy day.
What You Need to Make It
Here’s what you need to make your Kava Tequila Mojito:
- Kava root or kava powder
- Tequila
- Fresh mint leaves
- Lime wedges
- Simple syrup or sugar
- Soda water
- Ice cubes
How to Make It
1. Prepare the Kava
First, you need to get your kava ready. If you have fresh kava root, you’ll need to peel it and grind it up. Then, knead it in water to get the good stuff out. If you have kava powder:
- Measure out how much you need.
- Mix it with water in a bowl or shaker.
- Knead or shake it for a few minutes.

2. Make the Mojito

- Pour in 1.5 ounces of tequila and 1 ounce of the prepared kava.
- Add some soda water and gently stir.
3. Finish and Serve
Put a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on top to make it look nice and add a bit more flavor.
