## The real difference: one plant or two

Mitra9 keeps its kratom and kava drinks separate. Its kratom seltzer has no kava, and it sells a kava seltzer as its own line. New Brew puts both plants in one can. If you already know you like kratom, Mitra9 is the simpler choice. If you want the kava-bar combination in one drink, that's New Brew's whole idea.

## Flavors

Both are 12 oz sparkling cans, built to drink like a hard seltzer. Going by the lineups, Mitra9 covers far more ground, from fruit to soda-style root beer and cream soda. New Brew keeps to four fruit flavors and adds tea to the base.

## Which to buy

- **For a daytime can with zero calories:** Mitra9.
- **For an evening can that mixes kava and kratom:** New Brew.
- **For more flavor and a choice of mood:** neither. Look at leaf-brewed elixirs, below.

## The third option: leaf-brewed elixirs

Both of these are extract seltzers. Botanical Brewing Co.'s elixirs are brewed from crushed kratom leaf instead and sold by color: [red](https://botanicalbrewingco.com/collections/elixir/products/blueberry-lemonade?sca_ref=12358316.LbbEA40zk2Gdk&utm_source=softerhour&utm_medium=affiliate) for evenings, [green](https://botanicalbrewingco.com/collections/elixir/products/tiki-apple-with-green-elixir?sca_ref=12358316.LbbEA40zk2Gdk&utm_source=softerhour&utm_medium=affiliate) for social nights and [white](https://botanicalbrewingco.com/collections/elixir/products/island-breeze?sca_ref=12358316.LbbEA40zk2Gdk&utm_source=softerhour&utm_medium=affiliate) for daytime.
