Hydrating and Refreshing, This Strawberry Mint CBD Spritz Will Keep You Feeling Relaxed All Summer

As Labor Day weekend approaches, end of summer celebrations are top of mind. Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue or a small gathering with friends and family, a refreshing drink is in order! If you’re looking to avoid alcohol, mixing up a spirit-free CBD drink is a much healthier option, plus it won’t leave you with a hangover.

To celebrate summer flavors, this Strawberry Mint CBD Spritz is both refreshing and simple to create. Requiring only a few ingredients, you can easily mix up a batch in less than five minutes. To infuse this drink with CBD, I recommend using Care By Design Hemp “Relief” Sublingual Drops, which is the perfect addition to enhance this summer spritz. To combine the CBD oil into the drink properly, gently stir it in using a bar spoon, then muddle with the other ingredients so it doesn’t separate out. Top with club soda, add a dash of Angostura bitters, then add the festive garnishes. This CBD beverage recipe is best enjoyed during those long and hot end of summer days when you’re looking to stay hydrated!
