"It's made by pounding the root of a kava plant, a peppery shrub native to the South Pacific, and it's often used for medicinal purposes due to its relaxing properties. If you're curious about kava, you don't have to fly thousands of miles to try it. There are tons of non-alcoholic kava bars popping up in the U.S., and companies are even canning flavored versions to sell in stores."
"Leilo is a California-based company founded by Sol Broady, a Columbia University grad who discovered kava on a trip to Fiji in 2018. Inspired by the locals who invited him to sip on the drink and share stories, Broady decided to try to bring kava back to the U.S. in a tonic form. His creation comes in six different flavors that range from raspberry hibiscus to pina colada, and each one is alcohol-free."
