Melo Passionfruit, Orange & Guava Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Kava Drink

It's a vibrant tropical blend — passionfruit, orange, and guava with notes of mango — for a refreshing, sun-soaked flavor. The finish is smooth and crisp.

It's a ready-to-drink 12 oz sparkling can, so just chill it and pour or sip straight from the can. Melo recommends avoiding kava products alongside alcohol.

It's made with kava root, which has been used traditionally in the South Pacific for millennia. This can is made in the USA.

Melo is a US-based sparkling kava drink company co-founded by Amy Bett, who serves as CEO. Bett, originally from Melbourne, Australia, started the brand in the early 2020s, and the kava itself is sourced from family-owned farms in Vanuatu. Company leadership is listed in the Los Angeles area, though Melo doesn't publish a specific headquarters address.

Most functional and nootropic drinks are made with natural ingredients and are safe for daily use. However, effects vary based on ingredients and individual sensitivities, so it’s best to check labels and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns.

These beverages may help reduce stress, improve focus, enhance mood, and promote relaxation without the use of alcohol. Ingredients like ashwagandha, L-theanine, and lion’s mane mushroom are commonly included for their cognitive and stress-relief benefits.

Functional beverages are drinks infused with ingredients like adaptogens, nootropics, and botanicals to support wellness, reduce stress, and enhance cognitive function. Nootropic beverages, in particular, are designed to boost brain performance, improve focus, and support mental clarity. Most claims are not verified by the FDA, and effectiveness varies from consumer to consumer.

For a drink to be legally non-alcoholic, it has to be 0.5% alcohol by volume or less. While this doesn't make it totally alcohol-free, it does mean it is impossible to experience any intoxication or other psychoactive effects from alcohol. For context, a slice of sourdough bread or a ripe banana has more alcohol by volume than any of our drinks!

We carry a few hundred different products on our website with all different ingredients. We suggest you consult with your doctor regarding specific ingredients. Everything we carry is non-alcoholic-- less than 0.5% ABV-- and very popular with our customers who are pregnant (and those who aren't, too)!

Some of our products contain adaptogens, nootropics, and other herbs that are not recommended for people who are pregnant, but we're not doctors and do not give medical advice. Every body and pregnancy is different, so we suggest talking to a healthcare professional if you're unsure.

Not all of our non-alcoholic beverages are 100% alcohol-free. Some contain trace amounts of alcohol at less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.  This is consistent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s labeling policy, which permits the use of the term, “non-alcoholic” to describe a product that contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.

If you are looking for products that are 0.0% alcohol by volume, look for the "Alcohol-Free" badge on the product page.

Dealcoholized wine is wine that has gone through the entire wine making process-- pressing, fermentation, and aging-- before the alcohol is removed.

Most wines are dealcoholized using a technique called "vacuum distillation", where the wine is heated under a vacuum at very low temperatures. This allows for the alcohol to evaporate at a much lower temperature than boiling it off on your stove, like when you cook with alcohol or spirits. The result is that the flavor molecules that make up the flavor notes stay intact, giving our dealcoholized wines their characteristic complexity.

Sometimes, producers may add grape juice, grape must (a crush of whole grapes), sugar, or flavoring agents back to the dealcoholized wine in order to bulk up the body or balance the flavor.

Non-alcoholic spirits are specifically developed for mixing in non-alcoholic cocktails. These spirits taste great when mixed with soda water, tonic water, sodas, juices, and even other non-alcoholic spirits, but they might taste a little weird on their own. You're welcome to try them neat (we can't stop you!), but we don't recommend assessing whether or not you like a non-alcoholic spirit without mixing it, first.
