How the Kava Pineapple Rum Cocktail Came to Be
Matt Warren’s Story
The story of this drink is as exciting as its taste. Matt Warren, co-founder of Psychedelic Water, went to the Caribbean on a trip to find new flavors. One evening, after a fun day at the beach, he found a small bar with interesting drinks.
Matt said, “The sunset was so beautiful it felt like magic. I tried a pineapple and rum drink and thought, what if we add kava to this? It would be the perfect chill-out drink.”
That’s how Matt created this unique cocktail. It’s a mix of tangy pineapple, smooth rum, and the relaxing power of kava.
Why Use Pineapple, Rum, and Kava?
Pineapple and rum are a fantastic pair—pineapple is refreshing, and rum adds a warm kick. Adding kava makes it even better, giving a relaxing touch. Pineapple helps with digestion, rum is fun in moderation, and kava helps you relax.
