What is Kava?
Kava comes from the South Pacific and has been used for many years in social gatherings and ceremonies. It’s made from the root of a plant called Piper methysticum. People love kava because it helps them feel calm. Kava helps you relax without making your mind fuzzy. It can help with stress, boost your mood, and make you more social. Because of these benefits, kava is becoming popular in modern cocktails.
What is a Campari Spritz?
The Campari Spritz is a classic drink from Italy. It gets its bright, bitter taste from Campari, a famous Italian liqueur. Usually, a Campari Spritz has Prosecco, some soda water, and an orange garnish. It’s a refreshing and balanced drink, often enjoyed in the late afternoon or early evening.
The Mix: Kava Campari Spritz

This simple idea turned into a wonderful drink that mixes the earthy taste of kava with the lively bitterness of Campari.
