What is Kava?
If you haven’t tried kava before, let us tell you about this cool drink. Kava comes from a root found in the South Pacific and is known for its calming effects.

Imagine a drink that tastes good and helps you unwind—sounds awesome, right?
Why Kava and Piña Colada Go Well Together
Kava and Frozen Piña Coladas both come from tropical places, so they make a great pair. Think about it: creamy coconut, sweet pineapple, and the earthy taste of kava all mixed together. Piña Coladas are already perfect for relaxing, and kava makes them even better. It’s the best drink for a lazy beach day or a chill weekend at home.

Tips for the Best Frozen Kava Piña Colada
- Fresh vs. Canned Juice: Fresh pineapple juice tastes brighter, but canned works too.
