CBD Horchata Recipe

Today, the most popular versions of horchata are based on Mexican recipes, most of which use long-grain white rice as a base. However, it’s unlikely the first horchata recipes had any rice in them. Why do we say that? Well, just look at the name! “Horchata” is related to a Latin word that refers to “barley.” 

While barley may be making a comeback in the traditional grains space, we figure it’s easier for most people to pick up a bag of rice. However, to make our recipe a little healthier, we’ve decided to use cooked brown rice. Not only does brown rice have more fiber than white rice, it also has a boatload of vitamins and minerals.

As with our other CBD cocktail recipes, please feel free to experiment with different methods of preparing your horchata. For instance, some people like to add nuts like sliced almonds for a, well, “nutty” flavor. You could also add a dab of coconut milk for a little tropical flair. Once you’ve found your ideal horchata recipe, be sure to share it with the Tribe on social media! 

Ingredients 

• 3 cups purified water 
• ½ cup sugar 
• 1 – 2 cinnamon sticks, crushed
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Pour rice, water, sugar, Tribe CBD oil, cinnamon sticks, and vanilla extract into a bowl
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit overnight
• The next day, pour the rice mixture into a blender
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days

While you could strain your horchata through cheesecloth, most bartenders strongly recommend looking up a product called “nut milk bags.” While these bags may have a funny name, they are serious when it comes to keeping you safe. It’s unlikely any slivers of cinnamon or almond will seep through one of these mesh bags. 

Of course, if you don’t feel OK using whole cinnamon sticks, you could substitute them with a few teaspoons of ground cinnamon. As always, please use the ingredients you feel most comfortable with. 

How To Use Your Horchata? Make A Tribe CBD Cocktail, Of Course!  

Now that you’ve got a bottle full of horchata, you may be wondering what to do with it. Sure, it’s great to drink horchata on its own, but what if you’re looking for something a little more exciting? Well, there’s no shortage of CBD cocktails on Tribe’s blog that you could give a horchata makeover! 

For instance, some people enjoy using horchata as a milk substitute in the famous White Russian cocktail. Also, since horchata is associated with Mexico, many drinkers enjoy adding a nip of tequila to their chilled glass. 

Be sure to review all of the recipes on Tribe CBD’s blog to figure out how you could use horchata during happy hour. 

The Diamondback may sound like a rootin’-tootin’ cocktail for cowboys, but it actually hails from the East Coast. In fact, the Diamondback refers to a lounge in Maryland’s luxurious Lord Baltimore Hotel. While the Diamondback might not be the best-known cocktail on the books, it’s a tremendous old-timey drink with a funky apple-forward flavor. 

To kick the Diamondback into the 21st century, we’re going to add a pinch of Tribe CBD oil. One dropperful of our high-quality CBD is enough to ensure you have a smooth and serene experience. 

CBD Diamondback Cocktail Recipe 

Since the Diamondback’s main spirit is rye whiskey, it’s often compared with the Old Fashioned. Indeed, some people go so far as to claim this drink is a clever riff on the more famous standard cocktail.

Despite these claims, there’s some dispute over which garnish to use in this cocktail. Some sites use Luxardo cherries, while others opt for an orange peel.

Since the Old Fashioned has an orange peel, this may be the more “authentic” choice for your Diamondback. However, please feel free to use whichever garnish you think best compliments this drink. 

By the way, you can find Tribe’s CBD Old Fashioned recipe on this post. 

Ingredients

• 1 oz rye whiskey
• ½ oz applejack
• ½ oz yellow chartreuse 
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil
• Luxardo cherry or orange peel

Directions 

• Pour rye whiskey, applejack, and yellow chartreuse into an Old Fashioned glass
• Add one large ice cube and stir
• Top with Tribe CBD oil
• Garnish with orange peel or Luxardo cherry, if desired

Chartreuse is a curious ingredient in the world of cocktails. Named after a mountain range in France, this herbal liqueur contains a mysterious mix of local botanicals and herbs. Indeed, the monks who “created” the recipe for chartreuse supposedly used an obscure alchemical text. 

Interestingly, the chartreuse you see in today’s liquor stores isn’t the original formula. Both green and yellow chartreuse are renditions of the original liqueur. While the first formula is still available, it’s a bit tougher to find. Also, considering both green and yellow chartreuse are mild compared with authentic chartreuse, it’s safe to assume the original doesn’t taste so hot. 

The major differences between green and yellow chartreuse are taste and ABV. Generally speaking, yellow chartreuse is the sweeter and less-boozy option; hence, it’s easier to blend into mixed drinks. However, there are a few famous cocktails that take advantage of green chartreuse’s herbal notes. For instance, check out Tribe’s Last Word cocktail for some green chartreuse inspiration.

How Potent Is Tribe’s CBD Oil?

With three alcoholic ingredients, there’s no question the Diamondback packs a punch. But just how potent is Tribe’s CBD oil? Well, Tribe CBD currently offers two potencies for our popular CBD oil tincture: 900 mg and 3000 mg. 

Since everyone has a different CBD tolerance, it’s difficult to say which potency is right for you. Anyone new to CBD should start with the lowest recommended dose and gradually work their way up. We’d also recommend recording your daily milligram count to figure out your perfect CBD dosage. 

While turmeric is today’s “rockstar rhizome,” that doesn’t mean ginger root is any less incredible. Indeed, you’ve probably seen dozens of hot ginger shots pop up in your supermarket’s fridge section recently. Anyone who wants a spicy start to their day can’t do better than cold-pressed ginger juice! 

While buying pre-made ginger shots is super convenient, it’s not exactly “cost-effective.” Thankfully, there is an easy way to make this sizzling shot at home. As a bonus, you could add Tribe’s high-quality CBD tincture to this mix. Please keep reading if you’re interested in making this scorching hot superfood shot! 

CBD Ginger Shot Recipe

Not everyone is on the same page when it comes to peeling ginger. While some chefs claim peeled ginger has a better flavor, most say peeling is a waste of time. Since ginger’s skin is so thin, it won’t significantly alter this root’s flavor. 

Generally speaking, peeling ginger is more of an aesthetic issue than a health concern. As long as you wash and scrub your ginger before using it, there’s no harm leaving the skin on (as long as it’s not super old or moldy, of course!). 

However, if you prefer to work with peeled ginger, you should use a spoon to take off that skin. No matter how skilled you are with a knife, you will waste a lot of precious ginger pulp with this kitchen tool. Only a sturdy spoon can get rid of that skin while preserving the majority of your bright yellow ginger. 

Ingredients

• ¼ cup of chopped ginger
• ¼ cup of lemon juice 
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil

Directions

• Put your ginger and lemon juice in a food processor and blitz until smooth.
• Place the pulverized ginger in a cheesecloth and squeeze into a shot glass. 
• Add Tribe CBD oil as a garnish.  

If you’re planning a cruise in the ensuing months, here’s a pro tip: bring some ginger tea with you. For centuries, sailors have known about ginger’s incredible ability to ward off seasickness. But you don’t have to take their word for it. There are now multiple scientific studies that show ginger works just as well as anti-nausea pills. 

In fact, one Iranian trial found that taking ginger capsules was as effective as the migraine medication sumatriptan. Researchers in Vitoria, Spain, also claim ginger shows tremendous anti-nausea potential.

So, if you’re feeling a bit sick to your stomach, try adding more ginger to your diet! 

Could Tribe CBD Oil Tame My Nausea?

It’s not just ginger that shows potential as an all-natural nausea treatment. That’s right; there are now studies suggesting hemp-derived CBD may help patients dealing with nausea-related issues. Indeed, scientists at Canada’s University of Guelph discovered CBD might reduce the risk of vomiting. People with conditions like chronic migraines or morning sickness may experience tremendous benefits with a Tribe CBD product.

If you’re interested in experimenting with CBD for nausea, be sure to ask your doctor before adding one of our products to your routine. While CBD shows phenomenal potential, it’s always best to get the all-clear from a trusted medical provider.

Whether it’s Independence Day or Presidents’ Day, there’s no better way to celebrate your “Americanness” than by downing a Captain America shot. This tri-colored shooter is sure to dazzle your friends with clean layers of red, white, and blue. If you do a lot of entertaining over the summer, you should keep this Instagram-worthy shot recipe in your back pocket. 

Since hemp is now federally legal in the USA, this is also the best time to celebrate with some CBD! If you don’t mind adding some “green” to this all-American shot, feel free to drizzle a half-dropperful of Tribe CBD oil.

CBD Captain America Shot Recipe

As hinted in the intro, the Captain America shot is a layered drink with red, white, and blue liquors. As with all other layered cocktails, it’s crucial to pour each spirit slowly over the back of a barspoon. This standard technique increases the odds your shot will look picture-perfect.

If you’re still struggling to get these three layers to stay put, you may want to consider experimenting with other liquor brands. Because every manufacturer is slightly different, each product may not be light enough to float. You could also experiment with swapping out crème de cacao for peach schnapps if this ingredient is giving you a hard time. 

For more detailed info on pouring perfect layered shots, you have to check out our previous post on the CBD B-52 cocktail. 

Ingredients
• ⅓ oz grenadine
• ⅓ oz white crème de cacao liqueur
• ⅓ oz blue curaçao
• ½ dropperful Tribe CBD oil

Directions
• Pour grenadine into a shot glass.
• Slowly pour crème de cacao over the back of a barspoon.
• Carefully pour blue curaçao over the back of your spoon.
• Top with Tribe CBD oil.

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.

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.
