CBD Cocktail Recipes: How to incorporate CBD into classic cocktails

After a long day, we can all admit to needing a drink to take the edge off and relax. Many people use CBD or alcohol to help with this, but why not combine the two for an ultimate end-of-day relaxer. The classic cocktail drinks we all know can be bumped up a notch, just by adding CBD.

CBD Benefits in Drinks 

It’s common to not like the taste of CBD oil, and as a result we have seen CBD added to food, coffee, and other beverages - and now it’s time to explore adding CBD oil to cocktails. 

After the end of a long work day, when you need a night-cap, or even when you’re just in the mood for a refreshing cocktail - grab some CBD oil and take your drink to the next level.
