Pucker Up for Tribe’s CBD Lemon Drop Cocktail

The Lemon Drop may be the 20th century’s most popular (and pungent!) cocktail. Although this delightful drink was hot during the 70s, it saw a massive resurgence in the 2000s thanks to the one and only Oprah Winfrey! Indeed, chances are you were one of the many fan who first mixed this tart treasure after Oprah shared it with everyone’s fave TV chef: Rachel Ray. 

Whether you’ve had a gazillion Lemon Drops or this is your first time, we think you’re going to like our CBD-enhanced variation. Since our citrus-flavored CBD oil has a touch of orange extract, it provides a perfect accent to this beloved beverage.  

We know: it can be a bit annoying to salt or sugar your cocktail glasses, especially if you have to serve dozens of friends. However, you can’t honestly say you’re drinking a Lemon Drop if you don’t add a little sugar. Thankfully, there is a “bartender’s hack” that could help you sugar your rim without too much of a fuss.  

First, be sure to rub a lemon wedge around your chilled martini glass. Next, open a standard sugar packet on one end and split the side where it’s sealed. Now all you have to do is run the exposed end around your cocktail’s rim for a perfectly coated glass.

After you’ve tried an authentic Lemon Drop, it’s time to spice up this drink with a few alterations. There are plenty of ways people add a unique spin to this cocktail, but here are a few of our favorite suggestions: 

• Muddle fresh strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries to give this drink some fruity flavors. 
• Consider using a citrus-infused vodka for extra tang. 
• Add a touch of raspberry liqueur for a dazzling red color. 
• Swap out simple syrup for the spicier ginger syrup.  

While many customers rave about our citrus-flavored CBD oil, Tribe understands not everyone enjoys tart flavors. That’s why we also offer a high-quality, natural-flavored CBD oil. Just like our citrus-infused blend, this natural CBD oil comes in three potencies: 250 mg, 500 mg, and 1,000 mg.
