In this blog post, we’ll show you an easy recipe for a Kava Frozen Daiquiri—a great drink for cooling down and relaxing.
What is Kava?
Kava, or Piper methysticum, is a plant from the Pacific Islands that is known for its calming effects. People from these islands have used kava in social and special gatherings to feel relaxed and connected.
Kava has many benefits, like helping you feel calm, less anxious, and even sleep better. Some people used to think kava could harm your liver, but recent studies show that it’s safe if used correctly.
How the Kava Frozen Daiquiri Started
Matt Warren, the co-founder of Psychedelic Water, remembers his first kava experience at a small kava bar in Honolulu. He loved the relaxed atmosphere, friendly people, and the calming effects of kava. Matt thought it would be great if he could capture that feeling in a fun, summery drink, and that’s how the Kava Frozen Daiquiri was born.
Kava drinks are becoming more popular, making it easier to enjoy kava in different ways. As the weather gets hotter, a frozen daiquiri is a perfect way to cool down and relax.
