Summer may be winding down, but why not go out with the perfect drink to celebrate the season? If you’d rather skip the booze, a spirit-free CBD mixed drink could be just the thing! Both relaxing and refreshing, this CBD mango mojito recipe is delicious and incredibly easy to assemble. Made with fresh mango, fresh-squeezed lime juice, agave nectar, hemp-derived CBD, and mint, among other key ingredients, this mouthwatering drink is the ideal way to unwind as the summer season comes to an end.

When crafting this drink at home, the best way to integrate fresh mango into the recipe is to create a purée. To do so, add the mango to the bottom of a blender or food processor. Add a splash of lime juice and mango juice, then blend on high until it’s smooth and creamy. At this point, the mango purée can be used to enhance a variety of drink recipes, but my favorite way to enjoy it is in a refreshing mojito, particularly with CBD!

As a reminder, CBD (aka cannabidiol) is not like THC. After consuming it, you will not feel high because CBD is nonintoxicating. Due to its therapeutic properties, CBD is a wonderful addition to drinks because it promotes relaxation without the high. To combine the CBD oil into the beverage properly, gently stir it into the mango purée using a bar spoon, then muddle with the other ingredients so it doesn’t separate out. Top the drink with club soda, add a dash of Angostura bitters, and finally add the festive garnishes.

This CBD-infused drink is best enjoyed during those long and hot summer days when you want to stay radiant and hydrated. Cheers!
