Elevated Eats: Festive Non-alcoholic Mocktails

Happy Holidays, Moon Foodies! This month's Elevated Eats is all about festive drinks dosed with Moon Shots—the perfect way to relax without all the ick that comes with alcohol. The shots are available in both CBD and various doses of THC. I am sharing two festive mocktail recipes.

The North Pole Nightcap makes the dreamiest after-dinner drink. It's a very chilled, creamy peppermint drink that provides instant relaxation. A decadent drink meant for sipping, it's just right to share with someone special.

North Pole Nightcap

For 2 drinks

Ingredients:

• 1 candy cane

• 3/4 cup whole milk

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

• 2 Moon Shots

  • (we love combining a 25mg CBD Moon Shot with a 20mg D9 for a balanced experience)

• Ice

• Honey and crushed candy cane for glass rims

Directions:

1. Dip half a rim of each glass in honey, then into crushed candy cane. Set aside.

2. Break the candy cane into pieces and place in a shaker. Fill with ice, milk, cream, and Moon Shots.

3. Shake, shake, shake until your hand is freezing (you want this really cold, and the shaking is going to sweeten and flavor the milk and cream from the candy cane.)

4. Divide between the glasses. Find a cozy spot and enjoy!

   
   

Our next festive mocktail is Jingle Juice, which has a pomegranate juice base. Orange and rosemary bring the holiday vibe. A bubbly water topper makes this drink light and refreshing. This is an excellent mocktail to prep in a pitcher for a party. Place a basket of Moon Shots next to the pitcher and guests can dose as they like (they will love this).
