CBD-infused drinks are a refreshing way to incorporate CBD into your lifestyle, from smoothies and cocktails to mocktails and sparkling beverages. Cannabidiol can enhance delicious drinks and your favourite cocktail blends, so you can enjoy the flavours and functional botanicals.
CBD drinks are relatively new to the market, but they have been growing in popularity in recent years because they incorporate the same benefits as ingesting oils and tinctures, but in an easy format that can be added to your lifestyle with ease. Here are some of our favourite recipes that are infused with CBD. Any of these cocktails can be made non-alcoholic by swapping out the alcohol for an alcohol-free alternative.
