- sparkling water (to top off drink)
- ice cubes
- fresh rosemary (for garnishing)
- Optional: grapefruit wedge or mint sprig for extra flair
Instructions
- Muddle the Mint: In a tall glass, gently muddle the fresh mint leaves and agave syrup. This helps release the oils in the mint and infuses the drink with that signature mojito flavor.
- Add the Liquids: Pour in the fresh cold-pressed grapefruit juice and lime juice (if you’re using it). The combination of citrusy grapefruit and lime is key to that bright, refreshing taste!
- Incorporate the Kava: Add the kava extract. You can adjust the amount based on how relaxed you want to feel. Kava works as a gentle, natural mood booster that’s perfect for creating a laid-back vibe.
- Fill with Ice: Add ice cubes to the glass, making sure it’s nice and cold.
- Top with Sparkling Water: Fill the glass the rest of the way with sparkling water for a bubbly finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary. You can also add a wedge of grapefruit or a sprig of mint to make it extra Instagram-worthy!
- Stir and Enjoy: Give the drink a gentle stir to mix everything together, and then sip away!
