This original non-alcoholic cocktail is built around a pairing that shouldn’t work as well as it does: Kava Haven and Three Spirit Livener. On their own, each spirit is bold—Kava Haven brings bright lemon, gentle earthiness, and the tongue-tingling bitterness of kava root, while Livener delivers tart watermelon and pomegranate, plus a subtle heat from cayenne. Bitter and spicy flavors tend to amplify each other, potentially creating a flavor that’s too intense to be enjoyable, but for some reason, this combination just clicks.
Yuzu juice and Meyer lemon syrup brighten everything, while our Orange Cardamom bitters add another layer of citrus and spice. Sparkling water stretches this into a long, refreshing afternoon sipper, and thanks to Livener’s gentle caffeine content (about 55mg), this non-alcoholic cocktail earns its name: it’s exactly what you want for a midday mood boost.
*Kava is not recommended during pregnancy or with certain medications.
