The Science of CBD in Cocktails
CBD has potential therapeutic benefits that can enhance certain drinks. When consumed in moderate doses, CBD is believed to promote relaxation, alleviate anxiety, and even reduce inflammation. These advantages make it a perfect cocktail component for those looking for a bit of calm in their drink.
Infusing CBD into cocktails isn't as simple as pouring a few drops into your drink. It’s vital to remember that CBD oil is not water-soluble, which means it will separate from the drink unless it’s incorporated properly. To avoid this, simply mix your CBD oil with a fatty base like coconut milk. Or, incorporate it into a simple syrup for the best results.
With these tips in mind, let’s look at six amazing CBD cocktail recipes that you can make at home.
