Kavahol Review

4/12/20242 min read

The market has been exploding with new and innovative kava products lately, and we’ve been asked quite a few times to do a review to on this one! Today we are taking a look at Kavahol Kava Spirit.
.
This is a ready to drink kava extract spirit that’s marketed as an alcohol free spirit that can be taken as a shot or mixed into a mocktail concoction (they recommend with ginger ale!). The product itself is 16oz per bottle and a 1.5oz serving provides 833mg of kava extract (30%) with 45 calories per serving (11g carbs).
.
The product is flavored primarily with organic ginger juice, cane sugar, and stevia. We will tell you, this shot is SPICY!! The ginger provides a very robust tone to the flavor that does a good job at covering up the taste of the kava extract, but for some the shot may be a little intense (think of Fireball whiskey).
.
Regardless, this shot made an excellent mocktail (we made a few recipes) but was also an EXCELLENT addition to a traditional shell, dropped in like sort of an Irish car bomb experience. There are so many uses for this, that we think everyone can probably find what works best for them, whether it’s as a shot, added to a mocktail, or to complement traditional kava.
.
As far as effects, it’s a good amount of extract so you will feel it. Two shots of this felt about equivalent to a strong shell of kava, and when added to traditional kava it added a big punch. Most people probably don’t need to go above one serving of this in a sitting especially if used as a complement to a traditional shell or two.
.
Our one gripe about the product is after refrigeration, the kava extract and other ingredients really stick to the bottom of the bottle, so you need to shake it really hard, let it sit out for a bit to get it all mixed up again. Minor inconvenience, but worth noting.
.
Overall, very cool product. Awesome branding and marketing, strong dose of extract, and no artificial sweeteners 👌 This is an excellent product to break out for parties, get togethers where you want to introduce people to kava in a fun way.
