You’ve had a hard week. Your boss is running you up the wall. There’s been no time to relax or rest and you’re not sleeping as well as you’d hoped. It seems a drink is perhaps on the cards? A gin cocktail? Perhaps even, a CBD cocktail? Maybe you could combine them. After all, the CBD drinks and CBD alcohol industries are booming around the world.
In fact, in recent months, the CBD alcohol industry has exploded in the UK too. Like the low alcohol drinks industry, especially in dry January, the momentum is growing. In the USA, the industry is predicted to grow by almost 20 times the amount from 2020 to 2026. There’s a chance the UK joins the race towards CBD alcohol drinks popularity.
After all, CBD cocktails are a very convenient way to take your dose of CBD, which is even better when combined with a gin cocktail. You can even do it with a low alcohol drink too by adding MightyMe’s tasteless powder sachets or drops, having a CBD cocktail is easier than ever.
Our Favourite Pre-Made CBD Alcohol Drinks
But before we share some of our favourite CBD alcohol drink recipes, we thought we’d share a few ideas for your inspiration. MightyMe can be added into a variety of alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails. In fact, you can buy some of them with CBD already added so here’s a couple of examples.
· CBD beer infused with CBD is being created by a number of breweries around the UK, including from brands like Cannabrew. We’re big fans of their Soul Lager and their Hops and Sunshine beer is another great low alcohol drink.
· CBD wine has started to become increasingly prominent amongst CBD alcohol drinkers. Whether it’s a white, red or rose they’re rather delicious, but Rebel Wine is our favourite.
· CBD spirits are great for CBD cocktails and there are many distilleries have started producing spirits, such as vodka or rum, that contain CBD. One of our favourites is Muhu’s sweet hibiscus gin which is perfect on a summer’s evening.
· CBD cocktails are our favourite way to consume CBD alcohol. Some bars and pubs now offer cocktails that contain CBD, including Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals in London. They do a delicious CBD cocktail with CBD oil-washed mezcal mixed with green Chartreuse, Acqua di Cedro liqueur, fresh lime and tarragon.
But, as with regular cocktails and other CBD drinks, our favourite CBD cocktails can be made by combining classic recipes with a touch of MightyMe . Our favourites are gin cocktails like Negronis, Gimlets, Martinis – you name it. Add a drop of MightyMe and you have a delicious CBD cocktail which is the perfect way to kick off a weekend. Here’s a list of our favourites.
