Looking for a spellbinding way to unwind—no booze, no headache, just pure, plant-powered calm? Step through The Green Door and meet Kava: the sacred South-Pacific root revered for centuries for its mellow, heart-opening magic. We serve it fresh, noble, and utterly enchanting—so your social ritual stays high-vibe and zero-proof.

What Is Kava?

Kava (Piper methysticum) is a member of the pepper family whose roots are traditionally ground, steeped in cool water, and shared in ceremony across Vanuatu, Fiji, and Tonga. Its active kavalactones gently nudge GABA pathways in the brain, promoting tranquility without sedation—think warm sunset for your nervous system.

How Does Kava Feel?

A few sips invite a soft mouth-tingle, then a wave of relaxed euphoria rolls in: muscles unclench, chatter quiets, and social sparks fly. Many guests compare it to a glass of wine—minus the fog, calories, or regret.

Why Choose Kava Over Alcohol?

Zero proof, zero hangover—wake up clear-eyed and ready for sunrise yoga.
Community vibe: Kava bars are blossoming nationwide as the mindful alternative to pubs—a perfect match for the modern sober-curious movement.
Functional calm: Early studies suggest kava may ease situational anxiety and support sleep.

Kava at The Green Door

At The Green Door, we believe in giving you the power to craft your experience—so our kava isn’t limited to just one style. You can add one of our kava spirits into any of our signature mocktails, or opt for one of our kava-infused seltzers for an easy, crisp sip. Whether you're seeking a subtle unwind or a deeper sense of calm, the strength and effect are entirely up to you.

Our favorite combo? Adding a splash of kava to That Lavender Haze. Our citrus-forward kava spirit from Kava Haven brings a lemon drop-like brightness that complements the lavender and adds a grounding, earthy depth.

Craving something more sultry? Try our flavorless kava spirit from Kavaology—it blends seamlessly into richer drinks like Midnight Toker or our zero-proof Espresso Martini, adding relaxation without altering the flavor profile.

No matter how you choose to enjoy it, kava brings an extra layer of magic to your evening ritual.

Feeling extra mystical? Layer kava with an adaptogen or micro-dosed THC sidecar for a bespoke, multi-dimensional sip.
