Imagine enjoying a drink that tastes great and helps you relax at the same time.
Meet the Kava Negroni! It’s a fun mix that takes a classic drink and adds a special touch with kava, a plant known for its calming effects. This drink is perfect for anyone who wants to feel both fancy and relaxed.
I remember my first Kava Negroni. It was a sunny day at a local kava bar with my friend. I wasn’t sure about it at first, but after the first sip, I was sold. It tasted amazing, and I felt so calm right away. It wasn’t just a drink; it was a whole new experience. – Matt Warren, co-founder of Psychedelic Water.
What is a Kava Negroni?
History of the Negroni
The Negroni is an old and famous drink from Italy. It started when Count Camillo Negroni asked a bartender to make his favorite drink, the Americano, stronger by using gin instead of soda water. The new mix of gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth became the Negroni.
What is Kava?
Kava is a drink from the South Pacific made from the kava plant root. It’s famous for making people feel calm without making their minds fuzzy. People have used it for a long time in parties and ceremonies to help everyone relax.
Mixing Kava and Negroni
