The Bananas Foster is a delish dessert, but it can be pretty dangerous to make at home. If you have minimal experience in the kitchen, it’s not recommended you tackle this caramelized goodie right off the bat. However, that doesn’t mean beginners can’t safely mix this NOLA treat in a drink form! 

To make this Crescent City cocktail extra cool, we’re going to add a dash of our citrus-flavored CBD oil. The hint of orange extract in our high-quality CBD oil is enough to make this sweet drink stand out. 

CBD Bananas Foster Cocktail 

The reason cooking a Bananas Foster is so dangerous has to do with the use of rum. As we hope you’re already aware, alcohol and fire don’t mix well together. However, to get the caramelized effect necessary for this recipe, chefs usually tip their pan over their stove’s flame to “burn those bananas!” While experienced chefs know how to “flambé” without a sweat, it’s not a hot idea for inexperienced chefs to try at home. 

If you are going to make a Bananas Foster for real, we’d recommend taking your pan off the heat as you add the rum. After some of the alcohol sizzles off, carefully return your pan to the heat to continue making the buttery sauce. 

For more details on making a safe Bananas Foster at home, be sure to read through this popular recipe. 

Ingredients

If you want to make this drink extra sweet, consider adding a little brown sugar to your glass’s rim. To do this, prep one plate with a smattering of caramel syrup and another with brown sugar. Next, dip your glass’s rim in the caramel. Lastly, get some of that brown sugar to stick to the caramel coating. 

Another way you could add some “jazz” to this Big Easy cocktail is to top it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. Both of these spices are often found in traditional Bananas Foster recipes. If you want the true Bananas Foster experience, you could also serve your drink with a side of walnuts. 

Of course, all of these steps are optional, but they will add some NOLA charm to this Southern-inspired sweet. 

Want Sweet Stress Relief? Try Tribe’s CBD Gummies!

Even with all of that potassium, the Bananas Foster is far from a “health food.” Nobody in their right mind could eat this dessert every day and get rid of that stubborn belly fat. You can, however, enjoy Tribe’s sweet CBD gummies without worrying about extra calories. Each of our berry-flavored gummies has zero artificial preservatives or sweeteners. Instead of relying on cheap high-fructose corn syrup, we only use all-natural ingredients like agave and fruit juice to flavor our edibles. That means you can enjoy all the benefits of our hemp-derived CBD without feeling guilty!

The Artillery may have a scary name, but it’s actually a super sweet Southern cocktail. Not only that, this gin-based drink is one of the most straightforward martini renditions on the books. So, if you’re looking for a way to add some Southern charm to your cocktail hour, the Artillery may be worth a “shot!”

Oh yeah, and don’t forget to add a dropperful of Tribe’s citrus-flavored CBD oil. The all-natural orange extract in our high-quality CBD formula adds just the right complement to this classy cocktail. 

CBD Artillery Recipe

Nobody’s quite sure when bartenders created the Artillery cocktail, but most suspect it was named after the legendary Chatham Artillery in Savannah. However, please don’t confuse this cocktail with the more popular “Chatham Artillery Punch.” 

While both of these drinks may originate from the same place, they have significantly different specs. For instance, the Artillery only uses gin, while the Chatham Artillery Punch calls for whiskey, rum, and Cognac. There are also many secondary ingredients in the punch that you won’t find in the Artillery. 

If the Chatham Artillery Punch sounds enticing, please follow Tribe CBD’s blog closely. We may just write a CBD-infused recipe soon!

• Orange slice

It’s well known that Southerners love a refreshing spirit now and again…but what about hemp? Do Southern states now allow the sale of CBD? 

Although most states in the Deep South forbid the use of recreational cannabis, please remember that CBD is federally legal in the USA. Indeed, the whole point of the 2018 US Farm Bill was to legalize all hemp-derived goods. As long as your CBD products have ≤ 0.3 percent THC, they are OK under federal law.

While some states may put local restrictions into place, the vast majority abide by these new federal standards. If you have any questions about CBD laws in your state, we’d recommend looking into the latest hemp statutes. To be extra sure, you could even call law firms specializing in cannabis law (yes, they do exist!).

Get your “smoochy face” ready; in this post, we’re going over the delightfully named Kiss on the Lips cocktail. A favorite in Bahamas-themed bars, this fruity concoction is the perfect way to enjoy a tropical vacation from the comforts of home. Anyone who likes their cocktails on the sweet side is going to love this exotic recipe. 

To bump up this cocktail’s “relaxation factor,” we’re going to mix in a dropperful of Tribe’s high-quality CBD oil. Just a dab of our hemp-derived CBD is sure to send your mind soaring to a sunny, sandy shore. 

CBD Kiss On The Lips Cocktail 

Everyone agrees that the Kiss on the Lips is a tropical-themed cocktail. Unfortunately, there’s not much agreement over the ingredients that should go into this drink. 

While you’ll find countless Kiss on the Lips renditions out there, the two traditional spirits in this recipe are rum and peach schnapps. Most often, the rum in this cocktail is either mango or coconut-flavored, but you could use whatever brand you’ve got on hand. 

To these primary spirits, you could add any proportion of mango, orange, and pineapple juices. However, since our citrus-flavored CBD oil already has notes of orange, we thought adding OJ might be redundant. Plus, you’re going to get extra citrus flavor with the orange slice garnish. But if you’re super passionate about OJ, please don’t let us stop you from adding it to your drink!

Ingredients

• 2 oz mango rum
• 1 ½ oz peach schnapps 
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 2 oz mango juice
• Splash of grenadine
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil (citrus)
• Orange slices

Directions

• Pour rum, peach schnapps, pineapple juice, and mango juice into a cocktail shaker
• Add ice and shake for a few seconds
• Strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass
• Garnish with grenadine, Tribe CBD oil, and orange slices

Although we all dream of a romantic “kiss on the lips,” dating can be downright terrifying! If you’re nervous before going on a romantic dinner date, please don’t feel alone. According to recent data, at least 89 percent of Americans experience anxiety before going out with a new girlfriend or boyfriend.

Luckily for you, a dropperful of CBD oil may help calm your pre-date nerves. Although there isn’t research looking into this specific issue, many studies suggest CBD may have anti-anxiety effects. Indeed, compared with a placebo, Brazilian patients who took CBD seemed to experience less anxiety while giving a public lecture. 

So, be sure to add Tribe’s CBD oil to your “charm arsenal” before heading out on the town! 

Could CBD Light Up Your Libido? 

Although there’s not a ton of research on CBD’s aphrodisiac potential, there are plenty of people who swear this cannabinoid helps ignite their arousal. Arguably, any of the positive effects CBD has on libido come from its anti-anxiety components.  

If you want to bump up CBD’s aphrodisiac potential, we’d recommend combining our CBD oil with traditional Valentine’s foods like dark chocolate and oysters. Some people claim warming herbs like ginger or cinnamon also enhance libido; so, be sure to add some Tribe CBD oil to your next cup of herbal tea!

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.
