Why We Love Kava Apple Cider Mimosa
Matt Warren, the co-founder of Psychedelic Water, came up with this awesome idea! A few years ago, Matt was at a New Year’s Eve party. He saw many drinks but none that mixed the social ease of alcohol with the calm effect of kava. So, he thought, "Why not make a Kava Apple Cider Mimosa?" His idea was a hit! Mixing kava with other popular drinks is now a cool trend.
What You Need
Before we start mixing, let’s get everything ready:

- Optional: honey or maple syrup to make it sweeter
Tools

How to Make It
Preparing the Kava
First, get the kava ready:
- Kava Powder: Mix the kava powder with room-temperature water. Stir or shake well. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Then, strain it using a fine mesh strainer to take out any bits.

Mixing the Mimosa
Now, let’s make the drink:
- Pour 1 part fresh apple cider into your cocktail shaker.
- Add 1 part sparkling water or champagne.
- Slowly add the kava base and gently stir to mix everything.
- If you want it sweeter, add a bit of honey or maple syrup.
- Add a little ground cinnamon or a cinnamon stick for a cozy flavor.
