What is Kava?
Kava is a plant from the Pacific Islands. People make a drink from its roots to help them relax and bring people together. For many Pacific Islanders, kava is a special gift from their ancestors.
Some people get worried about kava hurting your liver, but this isn’t true. Drinking kava can help you relax without making you feel hungover like alcohol does.
The Classic Mojito
A mojito is a cocktail from Havana, Cuba. It’s like summer in a glass! To make a mojito, you mix white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and fresh mint. It’s been around since the early 1500s and is always a hit at parties.
