A movie night in is one of the easiest nights to skip alcohol, as long as there's something good in the glass. Match the drink to the snacks.

## Snack pairings by flavor

- **Salty popcorn:** something citrusy and fizzy, like sparkling lemonade or a citrus can.
- **Chocolate:** berry flavors, or a cold-brew-style decaf iced coffee.
- **Candy:** a soda-style float (below).

## Single cans for adults (21+)

By flavor and format, from the brands' own listings: Leilo is a kava-only sparkling can (fruit and mocktail flavors, about $4.15). New Brew blends kava, kratom and tea (yuzu, mango, berry, guava). Botanical Brewing Co. has kava cans like [Orange Dream](https://botanicalbrewingco.com/collections/kava-1/products/orange-dream-kava?sca_ref=12358316.LbbEA40zk2Gdk&utm_source=softerhour&utm_medium=affiliate) (creamsicle) and [Tutti Frutti](https://botanicalbrewingco.com/collections/kava-1/products/kava-tutti-frutti?sca_ref=12358316.LbbEA40zk2Gdk&utm_source=softerhour&utm_medium=affiliate) (mixed fruit). If you're new, pick one plant and one can, and don't combine cans in the same night.

*Prices, ingredients and flavors from each brand's own site and major retailers, checked September 2026. Brands change formulas, so check the can.*

## The sherbet float

A scoop of orange sherbet in a tall glass, topped slowly with a cold can of Tutti Frutti or Orange Dream. One can per float.

## For a watch party

Make one pitcher for the room: lemonade, sliced strawberries and soda water. Keep any botanical cans separate and labeled.

## The rules

- One can is one serving.
- Never with alcohol, and don't drive after.

## Who should skip kava

- Kava drinks are for adults 21+.
- Kava has rare reports of liver problems, mostly linked to concentrated supplements. Skip it if you have a liver condition, are pregnant or nursing, or take medications that affect the liver or nervous system.
- Don't mix it with alcohol, and don't drive after drinking it. Talk to your doctor if you're unsure.

## Who should skip kratom

- Kratom drinks are for adults 21+.
- Kratom can be habit-forming with regular use. The FDA hasn't approved it for any use, and it's restricted in some states and cities, so check your local rules.
- Skip it if you're pregnant or nursing, in recovery from alcohol or other substance use, or take any daily medication. Talk to your doctor if you're unsure.
- One can is one serving. Don't drink it with alcohol or other botanicals, and don't drive after drinking it.
