4 Cocktails You Can Make With CBD-Infused Simple Syrup

Did you know that you can make drinks infused with CBD? It’s incredibly easy to do at home and definitely worth the effort! In this article, we’ll walk you through all the ingredients and steps that you need to start slurping on some CBD-infused cocktails.

First, we’ll need to infuse our syrup with CBD. This syrup will be used to flavor all the cocktails we’ll be going over in the later sections, so make sure not to skip this step.

CBD-infused simple syrup

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of organic white sugar
• 2 cups of clean, filtered water
• 2 tablespoons (15ml) of CBD oil tincture

Method:

1. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and place over low heat. Stir consistently until dissolved.
2. Once all the sugar has fully dissolved, remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool.
3. Add the CBD oil into the cooled sugar mixture and set this aside for later use.

Know that you can use a different type of sugar, such as turbinado sugar, to make this syrup. Feel free to experiment and find a recipe that you like, or that fits your drink’s flavor profile better. Also, this syrup can be kept in the refrigerator, so you can make this ahead of time and save it for a special occasion when you have guests over.

Once you’re ready with your CBD-infused syrup, you can start mixing some drinks! We’ll go over some of the classics in this article, but remember that you can use the syrup in any other cocktail recipe that calls for it!
