Mary Jojito Mocktail

Ingredients:

• 6-8 fresh mint leaves
• ½ lime, cut into wedges (or 1 oz fresh lime juice)
• 2 tsp sugar or ½ oz simple syrup

• Crushed ice
• Mint sprig & lime wheel for garnish 

Directions:

1. Muddle: Place mint leaves, lime wedges, and sugar/syrup in the bottom of a sturdy glass. Gently muddle (press and twist) to release mint oils and lime juice without shredding the mint.

3. Stir to combine 
4. Garnish: Garnish with a fresh mint sprig (slap it first to release aroma) and a lime wheel.

Ingredients:

*This recipe makes one serving: 

• 2–3 ounces 100% cranberry juice (unsweetened is preferred to control sweetness)

• Ice cubes or crushed ice
• 2-3 ounces Cran-raspberry Hydrate Sparkling Water
  

Optional garnishments:

• A sprig of fresh mint or rosemary
• A lime wedge or slice 

Directions:

1. Prepare your glass: Fill a copper mug (which helps keep the drink cold) or a tall glass with ice
   
2. Add juices: Pour in the cranberry juice, Hydrate drink and the fresh lime juice over the ice.
3. Top with ginger beer: Slowly pour the non-alcoholic ginger beer into the glass.
4. Stir gently: Give the mixture a light stir to combine the flavors.
5. Garnish and serve: Add your chosen garnishes, such as a few cranberries and a mint sprig, and enjoy immediately. 

Mango Pineapple Express Mocktail

Ingredients:

• ½ cup fresh mango juice or puree
• 2-3 thin slices of fresh jalapeño (adjust to desired spice level; remove seeds for less heat)
• 1 tsp agave nectar or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
• ½ cup Mango-Pineapple Hydrate sparkling water
• Ice cubes
• Garnish: Lime wedge, pineapple wedge, and/or an extra jalapeño slice 
• Chilli-lime seasoning or tahini (optional)

Directions:

1. 1. Rim the glass (optional): Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your serving glass, then dip the rim into a plate of chili-lime seasoning or Tajín for an extra kick.
   2. Muddle the jalapeño: In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the 2-3 slices of fresh jalapeño with the lime juice and agave nectar (if using). This releases the spicy oils.
   3. Combine ingredients: Add the mango juice, pineapple juice to the shaker.
   4. Shake well: Fill the shaker with ice cubes, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to combine all the flavors and chill the mixture.

   6. Top it off: Top the drink with the Hydrate sparkling water

• Garnish and serve: Garnish with a pineapple wedge, a lime slice, or an extra jalapeño slice. Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical, spicy, and hydrating mocktail. 
  
  Budtender Tips:
• Add THC with a tincture for a Yoelevatedu can always take more but you can’t do less once you have already consumed too much. These recipes are CBD ONLY so they will not get you “high” however if you have consumed too much THC then a dose of CBD can counteract the intoxicating effects.
