CBD Cocktails: 8 Homemade CBD Drink Recipes

What is a CBD Cocktail? 

A CBD drink is made by infusing the beverage of your choice with CBD Oils. Aside from choosing your beverage, you can “choose your vibe” by pairing it with CBD oils that have specific active ingredients. 

For example, you could add CBD Stress Oil to your morning coffee (includes the active ingredient L-theanine) or CBD Sleep Oil to your nightly tea (where CBD is paired with melatonin). Your daily routines just got more exciting.

CBD Drinks: The Perfect Pairing to Your Beverage of Choice

Are you looking to enhance your daily beverage routine? Then try adding CBD Oils to your drink! CBD drinks are a great way to "choose your vibe" by pairing them with specific active ingredients that suit your mood or needs. Did you know you can mix CBD with just about any drink? And not just your classic chasers like juice or lemonade. CBD oil, or cannabidiol, works with properties in caffeinated or even alcoholic drinks to balance your body’s response to these substances. Pour us an extra glass because this is the movement tea people, coffee drinkers, and happy-hour friends can all get behind.

How CBD Drinks Work with Caffeine and Alcohol

It’s fine to mix CBD with caffeine or alcohol. CBD helps to balance the effects of caffeine, like in your coffee, tea, or pre-workout. The calming effect mixed with the hype can help you stay focused without unwelcome jitters. 

Incorporate CBD oil into your morning caffeine routine. If you’ve never used CBD before, start with half a dose of your tincture and see how you feel. Use daily for a few weeks to see if you notice a difference.  

Alcohol isn’t the best way to take the edge off, and it’s not doing any favors for our sleep cycle. If you’re keen on having a glass of wine to help you sleep at night, try switching to one of our CBD-infused drinks for a few weeks. After, try to see how your body feels in the morning (probably a lot less groggy or headache).
