What makes a good kava mocktail?
A good kava mocktail keeps things simple: a sparkling kava base, ice, fresh citrus or herbs, and no added sugar bombs. Because Uchie already tastes finished, you are really just dressing it up for the occasion.
Start with a cold can of Uchie and build from there. Here are five easy ways to do it.
Five easy Uchie kava mocktail recipes
1) Yuzu Spritz: Uchie Yuzu Lemonade over ice with a lemon twist and a sprig of mint. 2) Peach Cooler: Uchie Peach Mango over ice with fresh peach slices. 3) Kava Paloma: Yuzu Lemonade with a squeeze of grapefruit and a salted rim. 4) Ginger Snap: Peach Mango topped with a splash of ginger beer and lime. 5) Garden Fizz: Uchie over ice with cucumber ribbons and basil.
Each takes under two minutes and stays low in sugar, letting the kava seltzer do the work.
How should you serve kava mocktails?
Serve them cold and fresh, over plenty of ice, and garnish just before serving so the aromatics pop. A nice glass makes the ritual feel special, which is half the point of a mocktail.
Enjoy responsibly: these are for adults 18+, and you should not combine kava with alcohol. Grab a variety pack and try all five.
