3 Simple CBD Cocktails Anyone Can Make

Are you CBD-curious? Making your own CBD cocktails is a fun, easy way to experiment with cannabis’ most famous nonintoxicating compound.  Nowadays, grocery stores even carry CBD products, so it’s easy to find. And the best part? You can play with alcoholic and nonalcoholic versions of drinks.

There are many ways to incorporate CBD into your drink. One way is to create your own CBD simple syrup. Other popular methods include floating CBD oil on top of your cocktail or using premade CBD tonics to whip drinks up with.

Here are three recipes from Liquor.com representing three different ways to infuse CBD into your drink.

CBD Moscow Mule

The freshness of ginger complements the earthiness of the CBD perfectly. Throwing some much-needed citrus into the mix evens out the whole ensemble, which is why a Moscow Mule is a great CBD drink pairing.

CBD Dirty Martini

Popularized by innovative bartenders, floating CBD oil works best when it’s paired with strong acidic flavors that cut through its piney tones. The olive brine in this CBD version of a Dirty Martini does the job nicely.

CBD Gin & Tonic

Who doesn’t love a classic Gin & Tonic? The two-ingredient dynamo is also an ideal complement for CBD’s funky notes. Experiment with different gins to see what works best for you. This recipe uses a premade CBD elixir. You can also use CBD-infused water, which you can find online. Look for products with at least 10 milligrams of CBD to feel any effects, though 25 milligrams seem to be an ideal dose. Be sure to keep in mind that CBD can take up to two hours to take full effect.
