Say Hello to the Kava Mimosa
Hi KavaKist friends! Welcome to our fun adventure into the world of kava. At KavaKist, we’re on a mission to share kava—a special drink from Polynesia—around the world. Kava drinks are becoming popular, and we’re super excited. Today, we’re talking about a new cool drink: the Kava Mimosa. This drink mixes history with refreshment and is perfect for brunch.
What is Kava?
Kava is a plant from the South Pacific, also called "awa" in Hawaii and "yagona" in Fiji. People in the Pacific Islands have used kava for a long time to help them relax and connect with others. They make kava by grinding its roots and soaking them in water. It’s a big part of their culture and they often drink it during ceremonies and gatherings. Kava helps you relax and is great for socializing.
What is a Mimosa?
A Mimosa is a favorite drink for brunch. It started in Paris in the 1920s. A Mimosa is made by mixing champagne and orange juice. It’s light and bubbly with a bit of sweetness, making it perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch.
How the Kava Mimosa Started
We love trying new things at KavaKist. Mixing kava with a classic Mimosa was an exciting idea. This drink combines the calming effects of kava with the refreshing taste of citrus. Matt Warren, co-founder of Psychedelic Water, said, "Mixing kava with orange juice was amazing. It felt like discovering a new kind of joy and relaxation."
