5 CBD Drinks to Chill You Out This Autumn

CBD Drinks thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

CBD infused drinks seem to be all the rage right now with more and more popping up all the time. We’ve given a few a go and put together a list of some of our favourites for you to enjoy.

What are CBD drinks?

Panic not, we are not sitting here in ‘The Three Drinkers Towers’ getting high each day; we’re high enough on life as it is! CBD is short for cannabidiol which is a naturally occurring molecule produced by plants in the cannabis family and unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which gives you the “high” associated with marijuana, CBD does not. Recently, there has been a lot of research poured into its use and more and more information about its health benefits, including deep relaxation and stress relief, has come to light, hence the increase in the number of beverages now including it. So, enough of the chat, let’s get down to the good stuff.

Dead Man’s Fingers Hemp Rum

You can always count on Dead Man’s fingers to create an exciting drink with their large range of different flavoured rums but the product that has got tongues wagging this time is their creation of the world’s first CBD hemp rum! Expect herbal grassy notes, pine, coffee and a spicy finish. Enjoy it neat or mixed with some ginger ale - trust us, you’ll love it!

Silent Pool Distillers Colorado High CBD Gin

Unlike most CBD infused drinks which have 10mg CBD, this one is packed with a whopping 200mg of Coloradan CBD meaning you only need a small serve of it to feel the relaxing benefits of the CBD! Smooth with a refreshing grapefruit citrusy note, this gin is both effective and delicious. Serve it with Fever Tree tonic and a wedge of grapefruit for the ultimate drink.

Doña Sofia CBD Cocktails

CBD Drinks dona sofia thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

Recently launched in the UK, this is a really lovely drink. We tried the Gin and Tonic version and found it to be really rather yummy! A lovely balance between the soft bitterness of the tonic and citrus along with the relaxing properties of the CBD make this a drink we will definitely be going back to. Their Rum & Cola and Vodka & Lime flavours should be launching later this month.

ABV: 5%
CBD: 10mg

Weedka Vodka

An idea born in Amsterdam in 2018, what better a place we hear you say, this multiple award winning vodka is made from high-quality quintuple distilled grain vodka infused with cannabis terpenes giving it a very smooth and unique taste. Serve it neat or mix it with cola to make a very tasty cocktail.

5 Cracking Canned Drinks for the Summer

Words by Helena (@Helenasips)

best canned drinks alcohol thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

There is a drinks trend sweeping the US that is now also hitting home shores in the UK: Canned drinks. Cocktails! Hard Seltzers! Usually low calorie, low alcohol, pretty natural, affordable and easily recyclable, it’s easy to see why this is a trend that is going to be here to stay. It’s buzzing but a lighter way and after trying lots recently, I am a convert. Here are some new drinks that I have  particularly enjoyed. I suggest you all seek them out! 

Dona Sofia CBD infused G&T

Best Alcohol Can Drinks Don Sofia CBD Gin tonic thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

Just launched in the UK, I really love this drink. The tonic isn’t as bitter as some and has riper citrusy flavours - not unlike a decent lemonade. It’s exceptionally drinkable, with just the right level of buzz and bitter. CBD with a small amount of alcohol is an intriguing combination; it’s like the booze jump starts the relaxing properties of the CBD. Exceptional value too currently at £2 a tin when you buy in 6, 12 or 24. Look out for their Rum & Cola and Vodka & Lime launching next month! NOTE: CBD is the health giving part of Cannabis, not the psychoactive part, which is THC. This is why it’s ok to blend it with alcohol. 

ABV: 5%
CBD: 10mg

Session Sake - Yuzu & Cucumber, by Kanpai, London

Best Alcohol Can Drinks Session Sake thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

Made by the first London Sake brewery Kanpai, this delicious, modern take on Sake is a great way to start with the drink if you’re not familiar with it. This naturally fermented junmai sake (brewed from rice) is blended with Japanese yuzu and British cucumber to create a seriously refreshing, light and sparkling drink that’s perfect for picnics, barbecues and long evenings in the garden. Lovers of sake should check out the rest of their shop too and visit them in person for tastings again very soon.  

ABV: 5.5%

58 Gin Hard Seltzer

Best Alcohol Can Drinks 58 Gin thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

Just launched, these premium gin hard seltzers come from the people who create the well loved 58 Gin and use only natural ingredients. Currently available in Raspberry or Grapefruit in beautiful looking, fully recyclable tins, they are super fresh and fruity without being cloying in any way. Lovely, natural fruit flavours and that characteristic kick from the juniper.  It’s low calorie (67 cals per can), vegan and gluten free so suitable for just about anyone. Yum!

ABV: 4% abv
Find them here at Master of Malt for £2.50 amongst other retailers.

Smirnoff Seltzers

Best Alcohol Can Drinks Smirnoff Seltzer thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

The world’s No. 1 vodka has been quick to answer the demand for hard seltzers in the UK and are now launching here with two incredibly moreish drinks made with vodka and naturally flavoured water. Raspberry & Rhubarb is subtle on the sweetness with a lovely tang that keeps you coming back for more. The Orange & Grapefruit has more zip and a bitter kick that complements the vodka. Inexpensive and easy to drink, these are perfect for hot summer days.

ABV: 4.7% abv
Find them in supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s for £1.55 a can. 

Bodega Bay Hard Seltzer

Best Alcohol Can Drinks Bodega Bay thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

Pure, filtered alcohol and soft water are blended with a splash of natural flavours to create these ultra refreshing drinks. Using more unusual ingredients try the Apple, ginger and acai or the Elderflower, lemon and mint, these are a more savoury, quirky choice and they absolutely deliver. Brilliant value too at £2 a can, you can buy them in packs of 8 or 12.

ABV: 4% abv
