Delightful Dry January Mocktails

January is the fresh start to a new year, and a great opportunity to set intentions and goals to reflect a lifestyle focused on wellness. 

Along with incorporating healthier habits that benefit an overall mind-body balance, making CBD a part of your daily routine or nighttime ritual is one way to ensure that you maximize the plant's immune-boosting and calming properties. According to the 2020 SINGLECARE survey, 49% of CBD users take CBD for anxiety and stress, while 45% admitted to increasing their CBD usage since the pandemic began to help calm their nerves. Research does often, in fact, indicate that CBD can reduce the effects of fear and anxiety. 

So, whether you’re choosing to go Dry January or not, there's good reason to indulge in one of these CBD-infused mocktails while reaping the benefits of this botanical powerhouse, minus the hangover. 

*For dosing on these recipes, a base of one dropper of 500-700mg CBD full-spectrum tincture can be used. Our easy Dosing Guide can help you figure out your perfect dose.

Cosmotini
A tart, flavorful, crisp take on two gorgeous classics.

3/4 cup lemon juice 
3/4 cup lime juice

Lime wedges (to serve)
1 dropper of CBD oil (We like Prismatic Plants’ Good Day or Good Night, depending on your mood.)

Directions
To make your simple syrup, add sugar and water to a pan on medium heat and stir occasionally until sugar is dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, let it stand for 30 minutes with the lid on. Once cooled, pour your syrup into a jar.

Combine the four juices, simple syrup, and CBD tincture in a pitcher. Add seltzer to the pitcher to taste. Stir ingredients. Serve over ice with lime wedges.
