Tis the season for a little indulgence and letting that hair down. As we wind down and reflect on everything we’ve accomplished this past year, it’s important to take a moment of recognition and celebrate. Sure, there could still be things on that to-do list that might have to wait until next year, but holding gratitude for ourselves and inciting some positive self-talk is always such a lovely way to wrap up the year. And what better way to do that than sharing some CBD cocktails with the one’s dearest to you? Never made cocktails with CBD before? Don’t worry, we’ve got all the deets on these dreamy potions!

CBD may also help reduce alcohol consumption and is being further investigated for its potential use for alcoholism. And just a friendly reminder, whether you’re drinking alcohol with or without CBD, think safety first and never drink or drive! Now let’s get to the fun part…
