Friendly reminder:

CBD is not THC. It will not get you high. CBD is a cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, and has been known to help with anxiety, stress, pain relief, inflammation, and mood regulation.

Tips for adding CBD to your cocktails:

• 1. If this is your first time incorporating CBD into your recipes, start slow. It can take a little practice to find your dosage sweet spot, so try adding in a few drops for the first few recipes and going from there.
• 2. Keep your CBD oil in a cool and dry place and away from humidity and sunlight.
• 3. Do not heat your CBD oil over direct heat, as it will negatively impact the overall effectiveness of your CBD. (Don’t add it into your mulled wine saucepan, for example. Add it in after you’ve poured it into glasses.)
