Chicago, IL – Kava Haven, the kava-based non-alcoholic spirit that offers “all of the buzz, without the booze,” has quickly become a top-selling non-alcoholic spirit in bottle shops nationwide. In just four months, Kava Haven has expanded its distribution to over 24 states, captivating consumers with its unique blend of flavor and effects.

“Alcohol is old tech; Kava Haven represents the future of socializing,” said John Caldwell, owner of Killjoy, the first non-alcoholic bottle shop in Nashville, Tennessee.

Kava, a traditional beverage made from the roots of the kava plant, has been used socially and ceremonially for centuries in Pacific Island cultures for its relaxing and socially uplifting effects. Kava Haven captures these properties through a proprietary formulation that delivers kava’s novel effects in a familiar format, making it a standout in the non-alcoholic beverage market.

“Kava Haven has been our #1 selling spirit since we started carrying it,” said Rob Theodorow, owner of Generation NA in Lafayette, Indiana. “We even had to limit purchases because it sells out so quickly. Customers love it for the better-than-booze experience without the hangover.”

From coast to coast, Kava Haven is redefining the non-alcoholic beverage industry. Shops like Cheeky & Dry in Seattle, Washington, and More or Less in Grand Rapids, Michigan report similar success. “They love the bright and citrus-forward flavor profile and enjoy the versatility of the beverage as a mixer or stand-alone sipper.” said Chad Clark, owner of More or Less. “Customers are returning over and over for another bottle. The flavor is smooth, and the effects are just right,” shared Kirstin Vracko, the owner of Cheeky & Dry. 

The popularity of Kava Haven isn't just limited to major cities. Smaller markets are also seeing significant demand. “We’re seeing lots of repeat buyers with Kava Haven,” shared Kristin Patrick, co-owner of Loren's Alcohol-Free in Carmel, Indiana. “They buy a bottle and return days later for more—it speaks volumes about its appeal.”

Marigold, with locations in St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, echoed these sentiments, adding, “We can hardly keep it on the shelves! Our customers love that it provides a feel-good experience without impairing their daily activities.”

On the West Coast, Ocean Beach Cafe in San Francisco, California, has also seen Kava Haven emerge as a favorite. “Kava Haven is the new category society didn’t even know it needed,” remarked Josh James, owner of Ocean Beach Cafe. “It’s our number one seller and the best new entry in the booming non-alcoholic beverage space.”

As Kava Haven continues to dominate sales across the country, it’s clear that the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation is setting a new standard in the non-alcoholic beverage market.

Kava Haven’s success is a testament to the growing demand for alcohol alternatives that offer more than just a substitute for alcohol flavors. It represents a significant shift in how consumers approach social drinking, proving that life without alcohol doesn’t need to feel sacrificial and boring. 

About Kava Haven: Kava Haven redefines the non-alcoholic experience with its pioneering kava-based spirit, crafted for those who seek relaxation without compromise. Bridging the gap between tradition and innovation, Kava Haven transforms social moments into rich, flavorful experiences, proving that living an alcohol-free doesn’t need to feel sacrificial and boring.
