Still served by the gallons at Wimbledon, Pimm’s Cup is one of England’s finest summertime cocktails. But you don’t have to be a British subject to sip this centuries-old mix. With just a few simple ingredients, even a Yank can crank out Pimm’s most popular punch.

Of course, Tribe couldn’t resist putting a dab of our high-quality CBD oil into this storied cocktail. We know, this inclusion goes against tradition. However, once people feel CBD’s effects, we doubt any “Pimm’s purists” will protest. 

CBD Pimm’s Cup Cocktail Recipe

Although muddling isn’t a requirement with this cocktail, it will add a lot of flavor to your Pimm’s Cup. If you love intense sweetness and earthiness, consider muddling half of your fresh fruits and herbs in a cocktail shaker. After a light muddle, add ice, shake, and strain into your highball glass.

Just remember not to tear your ingredients to shreds as you use your muddler. As we mentioned in our Gin Basil Smash recipe, there’s a fine line between releasing essential oils and blistering your herbs. 

If you happen to tear your mint leaves, it will give off an unpleasant “grassy” taste. While you may get to show off those biceps while muddling this way, your guests won’t be impressed with your cocktail’s flavors. 

Ingredients

• 2 oz Pimm’s No. 1
• ½ oz lemon juice
• ~ 4 oz ginger ale
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil
• Mint sprig 
• Assorted berries, sliced apples, or orange wedges
• Sliced cucumbers

Directions 

• Add ice to a highball glass
• Pour Pimm’s No. 1 and lemon juice
• Add enough ginger ale to top your glass
• Drizzle a dropperful of Tribe CBD oil on top
• Garnish with mint, cucumbers, and your choice of fruit

Since Pimm’s has been around for centuries, those ingenious Brits have had plenty of time to come up with dozens of cocktail variations. Arguably, the best-known substitution for a Pimm’s Cup is using sparkling lemonade rather than ginger ale and lemon juice.

For those who want to be extra fancy, you’ve got to splurge on a bottle of bubbly! People who use champagne in their Pimm’s Cup are technically enjoying the “royal” rendition.

Lastly, although we haven’t seen it mentioned too often, why not add a little “Italian flair” with DIY limoncello? You can find out how to make incredible limoncello in this previous Tribe CBD blog post. 

Got Tennis Elbow? Try Tribe’s CBD Cream

Wherever you enjoy working out, your muscles will feel sore from time to time. Arguably, the trendiest way to handle post-workout soreness is to apply a generous dab of a CBD topical. Indeed, we’ve heard from many athletes on social media who love using Tribe’s CBD cooling gel. 

So, if you need a little help staying “in the game,” be sure to add Tribe’s cooling gel to your gym bag.

Blood oranges go against the grain. While the outer rind may seem like a regular navel orange, the inside is anything but! This orange cultivar’s fantastic red hue always catches people’s eyes by surprise. Honestly, is it any wonder blood oranges still have a strong “exotic allure?”

To honor this impressive orange variety, we’ve put together a simple CBD-infused variant on the Aperol Spritz. Anyone who loves citrus, sweetness, and a healthy dose of CBD is going to go crazy for this ruby-red cocktail. 

CBD Blood Orange Spritz Recipe 

It’s easy to see how blood oranges differ from other cultivars, but does that mean blood oranges have any nutritional advantages? Well, according to the latest research, blood oranges may have higher-than-average traces of an antioxidant called anthocyanin. Interestingly, anthocyanin is most responsible for giving fruits like blueberries their unique color. 

Multiple studies suggest anthocyanin is phenomenal at getting rid of free radicals in the body. This has led some scientists to suggest blood oranges may have extra healing properties, especially for heart health.

However, that doesn’t mean eating regular “orange oranges” is terrible for you. Quite the contrary! Some research suggests navel oranges may have even more vitamin C content than blood oranges. So, no matter what orange variety you prefer, it’s safe to say this is a super-healthy addition to your diet.  

By the way, some people claim blood oranges have a more nuanced flavor that almost resembles raspberries. For this reason, we’ve included a fresh raspberry garnish in this drink.

Ingredients 

• ¼ cup blood orange juice 
• 1 oz Aperol 
• Soda water, to top
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil
• Rosemary sprig, garnish

Directions 

• Pour blood orange juice and Aperol in a cocktail shaker. 
• Add ice and shake for a few seconds.
• Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
• Top with soda water.
• Garnish with Tribe CBD oil and a rosemary sprig, if desired. 

OK, if you want to get technical, this isn’t a pure copy of the Aperol Spritz. If you’ve read our previous post on this cocktail, then you know a traditional version of this drink has soda water and prosecco. 

So, if you’d like to make this variation more “authentic,” you could add a little prosecco to the mix. However, we’d still recommend shaking the Aperol and blood orange juice first to combine the flavors. After straining into your serving glass, add about 2 – 3 oz of prosecco and just enough soda water to give your drink some extra “fizz.” 

Take A “CBD Pause” With Tribe’s All-Natural Edibles

No matter how much you love your job, work can get stressful at times. When you’re feeling overwhelmed at your office, we’d suggest taking a break with one of Tribe’s watermelon-flavored CBD gummies. With 30 mg of CBD per piece, these edibles will keep you cool even on the most stressful days. As a plus, we only use all-natural sweeteners in our high-quality edibles formula.

Despite its tiny size, Key West is jam-packed with dozens of unforgettable attractions. From Hemingway’s Home and Harry Truman’s “Little White House” to Smathers Beach and Southernmost Point, you could spend days on this island and still have more to see. But no matter what you want to do in this crazy town, you’ve got to schedule some time to taste the local specialty: a fresh-baked Key lime pie! 

If you can’t make it down US-1 this year, no worries! Here’s a simple way to take a “mental vacation” to the Florida Keys: mix our Key lime pie martini! For a little extra fun, we’re going to add a spritz of our citrus-flavored CBD oil. 

CBD Key Lime Pie Martini Recipe   

The “key” question every baker faces before making a Key Lime Pie is whether to splurge on Key limes. Interestingly, what we call “Key limes” are native to Mexico; however, they were an essential part of agriculture in the Florida Keys for many decades. 

Compared with the more common Persian limes, Key limes supposedly have a sharper edge. Citrus connoisseurs also frequently say Key limes are more “aromatic” than Persian limes…whatever that means!

One thing’s for sure: Key limes are a serious pain to squeeze. Not only is there less juice in these limes, they also have loads of seeds.

Unless you’re a stickler for authenticity, there’s no need to go crazy searching for these special limes. Heck, after hurricanes wiped away most Key lime fields, most farmers in the Keys have converted to Persian limes anyway. 

Ingredients

• 1 ½ oz cake or vanilla-flavored vodka
• ½ oz lime juice
• ½ oz Cointreau
• 1/2 dropperful Tribe CBD oil (citrus)
• Graham crackers, crushed
• Whipped cream, optional
• Fresh raspberry, optional

Directions

• Pour vodka, lime juice, Cointreau, and Tribe CBD oil into a cocktail shaker
• Add ice and shake for a few seconds
• Strain into your martini glass
• Top with whipped cream and crushed graham crackers
• Garnish with a fresh raspberry (optional)

If you prefer sweet over citrus, then you may want to consider swapping fresh lime juice for lime cordial. While lime juice is the primary ingredient in lime cordial, this concentrate also contains a fair amount of sugar. So, by adding lime cordial rather than lime juice, you should expect a saccharine-enhanced flavor sensation.

Just be extra careful when you’re shopping for lime cordial. Often, companies add way too many preservatives and unnecessary sweeteners. If you’re going with store-bought lime cordial, please give the ingredients list a thorough screening. 

FYI: If you want to learn more about lime cordial, you’ve got to check out our previous CBD gimlet recipe.

Cool Down With Tribe’s CBD Cream 

While soaking in that warm Florida sun sure is refreshing, at some point you’ll need to “cool down.” One great way to keep your muscles mellow is to rub a bit of Tribe’s CBD Cold Therapy Cream. In addition to high-quality CBD, each of these topicals contains herbs like chamomile and Arnica montana to relieve aches and pains.

You don’t need to drive to Key West to enjoy a glass of Buffett’s favorite brew. As you’ll see below, the most challenging part about making a marvelous margarita is squeezing your limes! Plus, since Tribe CBD believes cannabidiol makes everything in life better, we’re going to add our citrus-flavored CBD oil to this marvelous margarita mix.

So, crank up Jimmy Buffett’s greatest hits, because we’re taking a trip to Margaritaville!

CBD Margarita Recipe

One question people often ask before making their first margarita is what kind of tequila they should use. Although you could use any tequila variety, most bartenders recommend going with a blanco or a silver. Since these tequilas aren’t aged, they’re better suited for mixing. As a bonus, blanco tequilas are the most affordable, making them a perfect choice for large get-togethers.

If you’d prefer to add a little complexity to your margarita, consider researching a slightly aged reposado tequila. These tequilas have been aged for at least two months in oak barrels, which gives them a richer color and a unique flavor profile.

However, you should never use the long-aged añejo tequilas in a margarita. It makes no sense to drown out the nuanced flavors of a high-priced añejo in any cocktail mixture.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces blanco, silver, or reposado tequila
• 1 ounce lime juice
• ½ dropperful of Tribe CBD oil (citrus)
• ½ ounce agave syrup
• ½ ounce orange liqueur
• Lime wedge (optional)

Directions

• Add tequila, lime juice, CBD oil, agave syrup, and orange liqueur in a cocktail shaker.
• Fill your shaker with plenty of ice.
• Shake for at least 10 seconds.
• Strain your drink into an ice-filled rocks glass.
• Garnish with a lime wedge.

If you want to serve your margarita in an iconic salt-rimmed glass, you just need to prepare ahead of time. Before starting your drink, slice a lime wedge and run it across the rim of your rocks glass. Next, place the top of your glass in a plate of coarse salt, and you’re done!

However, since this is a CBD cocktail, we recommend adding a touch of high-quality CBD oil to your glass’s rim. The easiest way to do this is to squirt a few drops of our citrus CBD oil onto your lime wedge and then run it around the rim. Sure, this CBD might have subtle effects, but it certainly adds a unique touch to your tart treat.

FYI: Tribe CBD Also Offers A Non-Citrus CBD Oil

Although we often suggest using our citrus-flavored CBD oil in cocktails, please keep in mind Tribe CBD also offers a natural CBD oil. If you find the tart notes a tad too overpowering, please consider experimenting with our original CBD oil formula. You could find out more about our hemp-derived CBD formula on here.

Forget about a “spoonful of sugar;” the Michelada is all about spice! If you’re looking for a quick way to clear your sinuses, then you’ve got to give this mouth-melting Mexican drink a try. This beer cocktail has just the right amount of heat to keep you on your feet.  

To help temper the Michelada’s fiery flavors, Tribe CBD added a pinch of our citrus-flavored CBD oil to this recipe. One dropperful of our high-quality CBD should be enough to calm your nerves while sipping this smoky drink.  

CBD Michelada Recipe 

While the Michelada is highly customizable, two non-negotiable ingredients are beer and hot sauce. However, there’s no standard brand associated with this drink. We’d encourage you to cycle through a few different products to find which flavors suit your fancy.  

Arguably, the most popular Michelada combination in the US is Corona mixed with a few dashes of Tabasco. Both of these products are readily available at the supermarket, and they provide a satisfyingly spicy experience. 

However, we’d recommend checking out all the craft brews and artisan-quality hot sauces available in your hometown. Also, even though the Michelada is often made with a light beer, some people say dark stouts work just fine. 

Ingredients 

• 12 oz beer 
• 1 oz lime juice  
• 2 dashes of your preferred hot sauce 
• 3 dashes low-sodium soy sauce  
• 2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce  
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil (citrus) 
• Lime wedge 
• Tajin Seasoning/ Salt mixture (rim garnish)

Directions 

• Pour Tajin seasoning onto a plate, use your lime wedge to dampen the glass rim, then dip in the Tajin seasoning
• Add ice to a pre-chilled highball glass, being mindful of the rim topper
• Pour lime juice, hot sauce, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into your glass
• Stir until well-chilled
• Slowly add beer to your glass
• Top with a lime wedge and Tribe CBD oil

While you don’t need to salt your rim when making a Michelada, it’s not unheard of when preparing this drink. Indeed, some brave drinkers even coat their glasses with a pinch of cayenne pepper. However, if you’re going to down that much spice, we’d recommend eating a few slices of bread beforehand. Taking cayenne pepper on an empty stomach could cause severe stomach pains.  

If you don’t feel like salting the rim of your glass, then consider stirring a little salt into your drink. You could even add a little paprika, pepper, or celery salt to give this drink extra complexity.  

For more info on salting the rims of your glasses, please be sure to read our popular CBD Margarita post.  

Get “Fired Up” With Tribe CBD’s Energy Shots 

While spicy Micheladas will get your blood pumping, it’s not the best pre-workout drink. When you want to get motivated to hit the gym, it’s far wiser to down one of Tribe’s best-selling CBD Energy Shots. Each of these berry-flavored blends contains traces of our high-quality CBD alongside energizing guarana, ginseng, and all-natural caffeine.

Add Some Spice to Your Life with Tribe’s CBD Turmeric Shot

Like CBD, turmeric has taken the modern wellness industry by storm—and for good reason! This slightly spicy rhizome is jam-packed with the uber-healthy compound curcumin. Study after study shows this unique chemical has some pretty incredible anti-inflammatory properties. When you hear all the potential benefits of turmeric, we bet you’ll be slinging a few of these spicy shots every morning.

While turmeric is mighty impressive on its own, why not add a little of Tribe’s citrus-flavored CBD oil for even more benefits? All you need is ½ dropperful of Tribe CBD oil to make this superfood shot sparkle!

Tribe’s CBD Turmeric Shot Recipe

Even the nuttiest of health nuts has to admit turmeric has one major downside: it stains like crazy! Whether you’re using the actual root or turmeric powder, it will leave orange marks all over the place if you’re not careful. For this reason, most people recommend using specific cups and utensils strictly for turmeric. You may also want to use disposable gloves, especially if you’re handling turmeric root. 

If you happen to get a turmeric stain on the counter, don’t freak out! There are a few DIY hacks you could use to bust these bright orange marks. For instance, some people report great success applying a baking soda and water paste and letting it sit for about 15 – 30 minutes. You could also try a dab of white vinegar or lemon juice for extra stubborn stains. 

Ingredients

• ¾ teaspoon turmeric powder
• ~ 1 oz filtered water
• A pinch of black pepper
• ½ dropperful Tribe CBD oil (citrus)

Directions

• Place turmeric powder and black pepper in a shot glass
• Add water and stir until well incorporated
• Top with Tribe CBD oil

While our citrus-flavored CBD oil will add orangey sweetness to this shot, some people need more ingredients to cover up turmeric’s flavor. If you aren’t a fan of how turmeric tastes, you might want to swap out the water for something like pineapple juice, coconut water, or lemonade. You could even add a little maple syrup for all-natural sweetness.

On the opposite extreme, fans of spicy flavors could add some freshly grated ginger or a pinch of cayenne pepper to this shot. Just like turmeric, both of these ingredients have potent anti-inflammatory and immunity-boosting effects.

Just don’t forget to add the black pepper! Interestingly, recent studies suggest a touch of black pepper can dramatically improve turmeric’s absorption rate.

Does CBD Have Anti-Inflammatory Properties? Science Says “Yes!”

There’s little doubt turmeric has anti-inflammatory potential, but what about CBD oil? Although hemp research is in its initial stages, recent reports strongly suggest CBD could help with inflammation. For instance, one study out of the University of Kentucky found that CBD topicals reduced knee inflammation in rats with arthritis. There’s also a study out of Cornell University that suggested CBD supplements could reduce osteoarthritis symptoms in dogs.

If you’d like to use CBD for joint aches, we’d recommend looking into Tribe CBD’s Cooling Cream. Be sure to read more about our CBD topical here.

Here’s a fun fact to impress your friends: the world’s first grapefruit tree grew on the island of Barbados. With this tidbit in mind, it might be “surprising” to hear that grapefruit juice isn’t included in the Barbados Surprise cocktail. But don’t worry; even if you love grapefruit-infused cocktails, the Barbados Surprise is a delicious tropical drink.   

Do you know what makes our Barbados Surprise extra surprising? CBD, of course! The orange extract in our citrus-flavored CBD oil adds a perfect complement to this alluring cocktail’s fruity flavors.   

CBD Barbados Surprise Recipe

The Barbados Surprise is one of those cocktails that’s all about presentation. When guests first see this layered drink, they will instantly be impressed by the separation of blue curaçao, orange juice, and grenadine. While it’s not challenging to achieve this beautiful effect, there is one technique new mixologists can’t neglect.

After you pour your grenadine and orange juice (in that order!), you must mix the blue curaçao with rum in a separate glass. If you just dump these ingredients in haphazardly, the blue curaçao will sink straight to the bottom. The inclusion of rum will “lighten” the curaçao enough that it stays on the top of your drink.

Ingredients

• Carefully add about two ounces of orange juice
• In a separate glass, mix white rum and blue curacao
• Gently pour the blue curaçao mixture on top of your drink
• Garnish with an orange wheel and Tribe CBD oil

What Does Tribe’s CBD Oil Taste Like?

Often we hear from prospective customers who are concerned about CBD oil’s taste.
