5 Mint Mocktail Recipes to Beat the Summer Heat

When you’re in need of a serious cool down, Opal & Joy has got you covered! While water is always good, why not indulge in something a bit more exciting? Imagine savoring a deliciously refreshing mint mocktail, infused with organic CBD oil. It’s the perfect treat to beat the heat, designed to make your taste buds dance while providing a soothing wave of relief.

The Benefits of Choosing CBD Over Alcohol: Before we get into the recipes, let's talk about the elephant in the room: why Opal & Joy swap alcohol-based cocktails for CBD-infused mocktails. Alcohol can, unfortunately, be a disruptive force for perimenopausal women. While a cocktail might initially feel relaxing, it often disrupts sleep cycles, leading to more restless nights and worsened hormone-related symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats. Alcohol can also exacerbate anxiety and mood swings already common during this hormonal transition, and it puts added strain on your liver, which is crucial for hormone processing. 

Swapping alcohol-based cocktails for CBD-infused mocktails offers a wonderful alternative: you still get the ritual and relaxation, but instead of disruptive effects, you benefit from CBD's ability to naturally calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote truly restorative sleep, all without the negative side effects or a morning hangover.

Mint mocktails deliver a multi-sensory, refreshing experience that helps your overheating body feel cooler, which is especially welcoming during a heatwave... or a hot flash. By adding a few drops of their organic peppermint-infused Relief Elixir, you'll get a subtle hint of mint and the other benefits of CBD – a real bonus when the temperatures are soaring and you want to chill. That's because their organic, peppermint-infused CBD oil helps you keep your cool when you need it most. And here's the best part: you can use it to infuse into some deliciously cool summer mocktails.
