Dawa is a Kenyan cocktail that was allegedly inspired by Brazilian Caipirinha. It is a simple cocktail that combines vodka, honey, lime, and sugar
The cocktail is made by muddling limes and sugar in an old-fashioned glass. The combination is then topped with a shot of vodka and ice.
The finished cocktail is traditionally served with a dawa stick—plastic or wooden stick dipped in Kenyan honey—which should be swirled in the glass.
