20 Incredibly Delicious and Easy-to-Make CBD Mocktail Recipes
Mock cocktails, known as Mocktails, are alcohol-free beverages that provide all the taste and flavor of a cocktail, without the effects of alcohol. Many Americans are choosing to leave alcohol behind for both their physical and mental health. Alcohol can increase anxiety, cause you to gain weight, affect your memory, and more.*
On the other hand, CBD has been shown to help alleviate anxiety, can help you lose weight, and even more wonderful benefits. You can easily add CBD to your mocktail to brighten it up a bit and get yourself a wellness boost in the process. You might be wondering if CBD mocktails will get you high at all. The short answer is that they will not get you high. CBD does not produce any psychoactive effects. Now, let’s take a look at some of the best CBD mocktail recipes.
The Best CBD Mocktail Recipes
What Type of CBD is Best for CBD Mocktail Recipes?
There are many types of CBD products available on the market. So, which type of CBD is best for mocktails? The easiest product to use is CBD Drops (a.k.a. CBD Oil or CBD Tincture). CBD Drops are made with just two simple ingredients: MCT coconut oil and Full Spectrum CBD extract. The drops are not flavored so you only add a light taste of coconut oil to your mocktail. It is also very easy to accurately dose your mocktail with CBD Drops.
CBD Mocktail Recipes: How to Make CBD Simple Syrup
Simple syrup is a staple ingredient in many mocktail recipes. It is a thick liquid kind of like molasses. Basically, it is sugar and water (and CBD Oil if you would like). To make CBD Simple Syrup, simply place equal parts of water and sugar into a sauce pan on medium heat. Heat the solution until the sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for a minute. Now, add in your CBD Oil. Mix it all together with a fork or whisk and you are done!
How much CBD you add is up to you. If your recipe calls for 4 ounces of simple syrup, use 4 ounces of water, 4 ounces of sugar, and then your preferred dose of CBD. This could be 5mg, 10mg, 25mg, 50mg, or more. If you do not know what your preferred dose is, we suggest starting with a low dose and slowly working your way up.
How Much CBD Should I Add To My CBD Mocktail Recipes?
The amount of CBD you use is entirely up to you. If you do not know what your preferred dose is, then we suggest starting with a small dose, about 5-10 mg per serving. Wait about 4 hours before taking more so you can really get a feel of how a particular dose of CBD affects you. Many take larger doses, upwards of 50mg, so do not be shy about raising your dose if you feel like a higher dose would benefit you more.
