Pineapple Hibiscus CBD Cocktail Recipe

Pineapple Hibiscus CBD Cocktail

As the summer season comes to a close, we believe there’s no better way to send it off than with a CBD tea cocktail (or mocktail). Heck, it could be the dead of winter and this is a great idea! We’re combining our favorite summer tea (Highbiscus!) and the delicious flavor of pineapple for a tart, semi-sweet & fruity tropical cocktail.   

Pineapple

Pineapple, in addition to being super tasty, is great for the body. It’s true: pineapple is much more than a delicious fruit — it also offers a lot of health benefits as well. First off, it’s a great source of vitamin C, which means it supports the immune system and provides antioxidant benefits.

In addition to being a vitamin C powerhouse, pineapple is also one of the top food sources that contains Manganese. In fact, a single cup of pineapple contains 76% of the recommend daily intake.

Hibiscus

The co-star of this delicious cocktail is hibiscus, a deep red flower. In Iran and many other countries, hibiscus is used to support a healthy cardiovascular system. It can also be brewed into a tea, and that tea can be used for many things, including making hibiscus simple syrup.

Side benefit: Hibiscus tea is naturally calorie free and can be served hot or iced!
