Introduction
Hey there! Welcome to KavaKist! We love sharing the old, relaxing tradition of kava with a fun, new twist. Today, we’re excited to tell you about our special creation: the Kava Blue Hawaii drink. Imagine mixing the tropical taste of a Blue Hawaii cocktail with the calm feeling that kava gives you. It’s like a mini-vacation in a glass!
Matt Warren, one of the founders of Psychedelic Water, came up with the idea. While enjoying a Blue Hawaii at the beach, he thought, "What if I mix this with kava for the ultimate chill drink?" And the Kava Blue Hawaii was born!
What is Kava Blue Hawaii?
The Kava Blue Hawaii drink is a fun mix of kava and the famous Blue Hawaii cocktail. The Blue Hawaii, made popular in the 1950s, is a yummy tropical drink with rum, pineapple juice, Blue Curaçao, and coconut cream. By adding kava, we make it even more relaxing. This drink is not just tasty; it helps you feel calm and happy too.
