What is Kava Champagne Punch?
Kava Champagne Punch is a mix of high-quality kava, sparkly champagne, fresh fruit juices, and yummy garnishes. It’s perfect for any celebration, blending the calm of kava with the fun bubbles of champagne.
Kava has been used for a long time by people living in the Pacific Islands to help them relax. They use it in both special ceremonies and casual hangouts. Matt Warren decided to mix this calming drink with champagne, creating Kava Champagne Punch—a drink that’s both relaxing and fun.
