CBD Cocktail Recipe: the Highly Personal Poinsettia

Core Roots CBD teamed up with Chef Jacquie Hogan to develop a delicious, crowd-pleasing mocktail (or cocktail!): The Highly Personal Poinsettia. This drink features refreshing fresh-squeezed blood orange juice and tangy pomegranate, encapsulating the most memorable flavors of the season and presented in an elegant garnished glass. The alcoholic version features celebration-ready champagne and premium Cointreau triple sec orange liquor, while the family-friendly mocktail version uses sparkling grape juice.
CBD may be the star of the Highly Personal Poinsettia, but you’d never be able to taste the difference. Core Roots CBD is known for its gentle flavor, thanks to carrier oils specially-blended for a milder taste. That means Core Roots CBD tinctures won’t overpower a drink, whether that be the Highly Personal Poinsettia, coffee, tea, or a glass of juice.
Whether you’re prepping for a holiday party, looking for a crowd-pleasing pick-me-up, or just want a delicious way to relax at the end of a hard day, the Highly Personal Poinsettia may very well become your next go-to mocktail or cocktail recipe, at wintertime or at any time!

CBD Mocktail ingredients
Each recipe is enough for one mocktail. Multiply the recipe to make enough for two, four, or a whole crowd!
This CBD used in this recipe is based on the Core Roots 1000mg tincture. If you have the Core Roots 500mg CBD Tincture at home, simply double the amount called for in the recipe to get the same amount of CBD in each drink.
  • Sparkling dry white grape juice
  • 3 ounces pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 ounce fresh squeezed orange juice, preferably blood orange
  • 3-7 drops of Core Roots 1000mg CBD Tincture, depending on the dose you’d like
  • Pomegranate seeds to garnish
  • Ice water for chilling glass

Make Your Mocktail A Cocktail!

All it takes is a few simple steps to take the Highly Personal Poinsettia to a whole new level of “wow!”

To make this drink alcoholic:

  • Replace the sparkling dry white grape juice with champagne
  • Replace the 1/2 ounce fresh squeezed orange juice with Cointreau triple sec liquor

Feeling a little daring? Add a shot of vodka to each cocktail! (And as always, please drink responsibly!)

CBD Cocktail Recipe Instructions

  1. Chill a champagne flute by adding ice water while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Juice blood orange and strain. (Skip this step if replacing orange juice with Cointreau.)
  3. Mix blood orange juice with pomegranate juice and pour into empty, chilled champagne flute.
  4. Pour sparkling grape juice (or champagne for a cocktail) over juice mixture.
  5. Drop CBD tincture and garnish with pomegranate seeds.
  6. Enjoy!

Measuring The Right Dose Of CBD For Your Drink

Taking CBD is a highly individualized process, and the necessary amount for the desired effect can vary from person to person. Some folks may only ingest CBD occasionally and therefore need just a few milligrams to feel the effects, while those who take it daily or multiple times a day may need more. You are welcome to add more or less to the Highly Personal Poinsettia CBD cocktail, depending on the desired amount.
