From baking to cocktails, using CBD in food and drinks makes it even more versatile. You can have the dose you want in a way that satisfies your tastebuds too!
Whether you’re looking to skip the hangover, you don’t drink, or aren’t drinking at the moment, here are some alcohol-free CBD mocktails you can make to reap the benefits of CBD in a refreshing, delicious way.
Perfect for winding down after a long day or enjoying at the weekend, mocktails infused with CBD can improve the quality of your sleep and ensure you feel less stressed. We’d recommend using our oil droppers and choosing a flavour to compliment your mocktail.
CBD Mocktail: The Virgin Mary
A Virgin Mary without the bloody hangover! This mocktail is suitable for any time of day because tomato juice is packed full of antioxidants and nutrients.
Here’s what you’ll need to make this mocktail:
- Ice (use as much as you like)
- 250ml Tomato juice (of your choosing, but we recommend Cawston Pressed)
- Two drops of hot sauce (or as many as you like!)
- One teaspoon of lemon juice (even better if it’s fresh)
- Two teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce (soy if you want it to be vegan)
- A dash of celery salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- CBD drops (dose as appropriate)
How to make:
- Start with popping your CBD oil in the glass (as it’s oil, it won’t always mix in as well)
- Add all the ingredients followed by the ice and give it a good stir.
- Garnish the glass as desired (with a celery stick, basil leaves, or a slice of lemon works).
- Stir well and enjoy!
CBD Mocktail: The Old Fashioned
How about a CBD Old Fashioned? Or as we call it, a CBD oiled fashioned. We reckon it could catch on, no?
To make the mocktail version of an old fashioned, here’s what you’ll need. Actually, here are two options (just because):
Old Fashioned with Barley tea
You will need:
- Two dashes of bitters (Seedlip non-alcoholic AeCorn bitter is a vegan option).
- Barley Tea (brew enough for how much you’re making)
- One dash of syrup
- Ice
- Slice of Orange
- Moonlit CBD oil (we’d go with natural CBD oil for this one)
- 1 maraschino cherry
To make:
- Brew the tea for 20 minutes and allow to cool (or if using a teabag, pop in a jug in cold water and leave in the fridge for 20-30 minutes)
- Add the orange slice, syrup, CBD oil and bitters to the glass
- Add the ice
- Add the tea and give a good stir
- Garnish with the maraschino cherry
Old Fashioned with Ginger Ale
You will need:
- 150ml of Ginger Ale
- ¼ lemon juiced
- Ice
- Moonlit CBD oil
- A slice of orange
- 1 maraschino cherry
To make:
- Pop ice and desired drops of CBD oil in a glass (we’d go for the citrus flavour CBD oil for this one).
- Squeeze the lemon over the ice
- Add in the ginger ale and stir
- Garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherry
- Enjoy!
When it comes to creating your CBD mocktail, it’s important to keep the strength of your CBD oil in mind.
