"Not confirmed" means we couldn't confirm it on the brand's own site or a listing we checked on October 11, 2026. It doesn't mean the product isn't sold there. Prices are direct from the brand, before shipping and tax.

Buying direct from the brand

Buying direct gets you the full flavor range, every pack size, and the brand's current label. It's also where brands post lab reports, where they have them. Botanical Brewing links one from its Orange Dream page.

Buying on Amazon

Amazon is handy if you already have an account and want fast shipping. We've confirmed listings for Mitra9's kava seltzer, Kava Haven and Leilo's kava drink mix. A few things to check on Amazon:

Buying in a store

Store availability changes all the time, so we don't list specific stores. Use the brand's own locator instead:

Call ahead before you drive over, since a store on a locator may be out of stock.

Which one should you buy first?

If you've never had a kava drink, start with a flavored can rather than a bottle you have to measure. Our pick is Botanical Brewing's Kava Orange Dream. If you want the kava amount printed on the can, get Mitra9. See our full ranking of the best kava drinks.

Kava isn't for everyone. Read who should skip kava below before you order, and never mix kava with alcohol.

Who should skip kava

  • Kava drinks are for adults 21+. Skip them if you're under 21.
  • Skip kava if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Skip kava if you have a liver condition or drink heavily. Kava has been linked to rare cases of serious liver injury.
  • Skip it if you take antidepressants (including SSRIs), sedatives, sleep aids or medications that affect the liver, unless your doctor says it's OK.
  • Rules on kava vary by place. Check your local rules before you buy.
  • One can or shell is one serving. Don't mix kava with alcohol, and don't drive after drinking it.

These are general cautions, not medical advice. If you're unsure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
