Pineapple Kava Nojito
Inspired by Mojito
A mojito is usually about three things: mint, lime, and refreshment. This Pineapple Kava Nojito keeps that crisp, cooling profile and adds a tropical pineapple finish. Instead of rum, the KILA Pineapple Social Tonic becomes the centerpiece, turning the drink into a zero-proof ritual that still feels like something you would order at a bar.
This is the recipe for warm afternoons, early evening resets, and social moments where you want the glass to feel festive without using alcohol.

Directions
- 1
Add the mint leaves, lime juice, and simple syrup to the bottom of a Collins glass. Press the mint gently with a muddler or spoon; the goal is to wake up the mint, not shred it. In a separate mixing glass, stir the KILA Pineapple Social Tonic into cold water until fully dissolved.

Fill the serving glass with crushed ice, then add the pineapple juice and dissolved kava mixture. Top with sparkling water and stir slowly from the bottom of the glass so the mint lifts through the drink. Garnish with a tall mint bouquet, a lime wheel, and a pineapple spear.
