The buzz on kava

The drinks

At Diamond Head Cove Health Bar, you can get kava, made fresh daily, in a coconut cup ($5) or in the form of a delicious banana coconut smoothie ($5.75). We tried both, and were surprised how smooth the kava tasted. It lacked the bite of some other kava varieties we've had before. The smoothie, made with locally grown apple bananas, disguised the kava flavor, but still had a relaxing, refreshing effect after a long day on the go.
