Ingredients

2 1/2 ounces bourbon
1/2 ounce simple syrup
Six cannabis leaves and two mint leaves or eight mint leaves plus extra for garnish
15 mg CBD tincture

In a chilled julep cup, muddle the leaves with the simple syrup. Now pour in the bourbon and serve over pebble ice. Swizzle some more pebble ice on top: three cannabis leaves or three mint sprigs for garnish.

Pro tip: Make sure to use the pre-sets quality CBD tincture from a reputable store.

CBD Piña Colada

You may have a fresh and traditional natural version of Pina Colada, “strained pineapple” in Spanish, with all the right ingredients. When it comes to pina Coladas, search for a can that reads “cream of coconut” on the label. While you may make a pina colada with different coconut products, cream of coconut is the way to go for an authentic pina colada.

CBD product of your choice (tincture, oil, extract, or powder)

CBD Cosmopolitan

This drink has the right combination of tartness, sweetness, and citrus flavour. People often find choosing cranberry juice to be confusing. However, if you choose a sweetened form of this juice, it’s a good idea to read the contents carefully. While a little additional sugar is fine, you don’t want to buy diluted apple juice. If you’re using pre-sweetened cranberry juice, you may want to reduce the simple syrup.
