It’s officially time to get our "jollies" on as we embrace the madness of the holidays and daily, festive celebrations to attend. Between end-of-year work parties, client events, and get-togethers with friends before they leave town, our calendars are bulging. And with all the deliciously, tempting food and libations of the season, Christmas is also a traditional time for bulging waistlines! But even though it’s the holidays, not all of us want to over-indulge and especially not with alcohol.
For those who are keeping it “dry,” whether sobriety, a strict health plan, or because we don’t want to throw out all our hard work in the gym for the sake of a “good time,” getting boozed-up isn’t an option. So how do we get our groove on and get festive without the hangover? Find a little balance and celebrate without the hard stuff? Hello CBD-infused Mocktails!
In our quest to create the perfect holiday, CBD libations, we partnered with LA mixologist, Michael Misetich (aka The Last Bartender), at Bar Lubitsch in Hollywood, to enjoy some great drinks and good-feeling vibes!
