Hey! Im going to use this thread to post some kava cocktail recipes I've made and enjoy. I wont post anything simple but still really good, like adding flavored creamer to kava haha. Id love to see what other kava cocktail recipes are out there if yall have any fun ones! Here's my first (very obvious one heh).
Kava Colada
4 oz chilled kadavu kava made with 20% coconut milk (the rest can be water or coconut water). I make this kava with 100 to 200g kava powder (depending on how strong I want it) 25oz coconut milk using the blender method. Squeeze and strain. Put kava liquid in a bucket and top off to fill to the 1 gallon mark with water.
1 oz coconut cream
1 oz pinapple juice
1 oz home made non-alcoholic Rum (don't use real rum
) (optional) - Combine 2/3 cup boiling water, 1/4 cup raisins, 2 tablespoons butter, 4 teaspoons molasses, and pinch salt in bowl. Submerge 1 black tea bag in water mixture for 4 minutes. Refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors meld. Strain and use in place of dark rum. (recipe from cooks illustrated)
Ice
1/4 tsp blue spirulina (optional)
Combine ingredients in a blender with enough ice to blend into a slush. Blend it up and pour. If u have a tiki glass that'd be fun. Stick a fresh pineapple slice on the rim to make it fancy. If you end up doing the blue spirulina itll turn the drink a cool blue color and add a ton of health benefits without messing with the kava effects.

If you want to make a PAINKILLA use the recipe above add 1oz orange juice and a pinch of nutmeg. Combine ingredients in a shaker with 4 to 5 cubes of ice. Shake. Add ice to a glass, take off the small top of the cocktail shaker and let the painkiller flow thru the holes, over the ice. top with a small sprinkle of nutmeg.
