What’s in a Kava Gin Sour?
First, let’s talk about a Gin Sour. It’s a mix of gin, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. It’s a refreshing and tangy drink that’s easy to make and enjoy.
Now, here comes kava. Kava is known for its calming effects. When you mix kava with gin, you get a drink that’s both relaxing and exciting. It’s the best of both worlds!
What You Need to Make a Kava Gin Sour
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Kava powder or kava concentrate
- Gin
- Fresh lemon juice
- Simple syrup
- Ice
- Optional: egg white for a frothy texture
- Garnish: lemon twist or cherry
How to Make a Kava Gin Sour
1. Prepare the Kava
If you have kava powder, mix it with water as the package says. If you have kava concentrate, just a few drops with water will work. Make sure to strain any extra bits for a smooth texture.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a shaker filled with ice, mix:
- 2 ounces of gin
- 3/4 ounce of fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 ounce of simple syrup
- The prepared kava
3. Optional: Add Egg White
If you want your drink frothy, add an egg white to the shaker. This step is optional but makes the drink fancy.
4. Shake and Strain
Shake the shaker really well to mix everything together and create a nice froth if you added an egg white. Then, strain the drink into a chilled glass.
5. Add a Garnish
Top off your drink with a lemon twist or a cherry. Your Kava Gin Sour is ready to enjoy!
