4 oz chilled kadavu kava made with 20% coconut milk (the rest can be water or coconut water). I make this kava with 100 to 200g kava powder (depending on how strong I want it) 25oz coconut milk using the blender method. Squeeze and strain. Put kava liquid in a bucket and top off to fill to the 1 gallon mark with water.
1 oz coconut cream
1 oz pinapple juice
1 oz home made non-alcoholic Rum (don't use real rum ) (optional) -
Combine 2/3 cup boiling water, 1/4 cup raisins, 2 tablespoons butter, 4 teaspoons molasses, and pinch salt in bowl. Submerge 1 black tea bag in water mixture for 4 minutes. Refrigerate for 1 hour to let flavors meld. Strain and use in place of dark rum. (recipe from cooks illustrated)
Ice
1/4 tsp blue spirulina (optional)
Combine ingredients in a blender with enough ice to blend into a slush. Blend it up and pour. If u have a tiki glass that'd be fun. Stick a fresh pineapple slice on the rim to make it fancy. If you end up doing the blue spirulina itll turn the drink a cool blue color and add a ton of health benefits without messing with the kava effects.

If you want to make a PAINKILLA use the recipe above add 1oz orange juice and a pinch of nutmeg. Combine ingredients in a shaker with 4 to 5 cubes of ice. Shake. Add ice to a glass, take off the small top of the cocktail shaker and let the painkiller flow thru the holes, over the ice. top with a small sprinkle of nutmeg.
