Feeling Down – Have a Dawa!

A dawa is said to be such a potent cocktail that it will cure whatever illnesses you may be suffering from.  Originating from Brazil, the cocktail was introduced to Kenya and when translated from Swahili means “medicine” or “magic potion”. The drink is based on a famous Brazilian and has become one of the most popular cocktails in Kenya.  The popularity of the dawa has also spread across north and east Africa.
