Meet the Aperol Spritz CBD Cocktail. This is your new favourite poolside drink, courtesy of the unwinding experts at Civana Wellness Resort & Spa in Carefree, Arizona. CBD cocktails offer a modern twist on traditional cocktails and are becoming more popular in craft cocktail bars and at-home mixology. With the Aperol Spritz more popular than ever, it was only a matter of time that we would see CBD coming into the mix, especially when it’s coming from Civana, one of the top wellness resorts in North America.
You can pick up CBD sparkling water at a dispensary, or order it online. Canadian company Collective Project’s Cannabis Infused Sparkling Water is available in flavours that complement Aperol, including their Cannabis Infused Blood Orange & Vanilla Seltzer.
A few things to note:
Cannabidiol (CBD), is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t cause a “high,” but it’s known for its calming, anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory effects. CBD and Cannabis can interact with alcohol by enhancing its relaxing effects so moderation is key. Always use high-quality, lab-tested CBD products, and ensure it’s legal in your area.
