5 Delightful Mocktail Recipes to Put in Rotation

Posted on by Jen Hatmaker

Where are my mocktail people?!

I absolutely love to make mocktails with elixirs, sparkling waters, lime — and, of course, tajin or a salted rim. You know how I roll.

In addition to just “winging” it with my mocktails and flinging a few things into a glass, I’ve been inspired by creating some intentional flavors — heavy on the fruity, citrus, and unbelievably refreshing notes.

And, make no mistake: I DO have a magic ingredient that really takes mocktails to the next level: FOCL CBD drops. Put a dropper-full in your mocktail — and you get a double-down on flavor and chill factor. Not only do you have a dreamy, delicious cocktail, the CBD drops promote calm centeredness and relaxation.
