Hold the alcohol and elevated your mocktail game with this refreshing Elevated Blood Orange Spritzer recipe. Made with blood oranges, lime, seltzer water, and Good Feels cannabis beverage enhancer (or your favorite cannabis beverage), this alcohol-free drink is perfect for the summertime or whenever you need a light pick-me-up. 

This sparkling blood orange mocktail is a refreshing and fruity cannabis drink that is perfect for any occasion. Not only is it vibrant in color, but it also tastes delicious! The fresh blood oranges offer a tangy, yet subtly sweet taste that blends well with the other ingredients in this recipe.

Spritzers like this are usually served chilled in a tall glass with ice and garnished with a slice of blood orange or a sprig of mint or basil for added flavor and presentation.

To make the best elevated Blood Orange Spritzer, we recommend using blood oranges when they are in season. This will actually give you more nutritional value (blood oranges are full of antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber) in addition to tasting better!

Blood oranges are in season from December to May, so these are the best months to make this drink. However, it’s such a refreshing drink for those Cape Cod summer afternoons, so you can always break that rule 😉 We won’t tell anyone.

If you find blood oranges to be too bitter, or simply want to sweeten your drink a little, you can add agave or maple syrup to your preference. This is a great option because it’s still healthy, as there are no refined sugars.

What type of cannabis product can I use for this Blood Orange Spritzer Mocktail?

A drink like this needs a little oomph! When infusing cannabis in your mocktails, beverage enhancers are a great option. However, you could always use less seltzer water and add in more of your favorite cannabis beverage.

At Hennep, we carry a wide range of cannabis seltzers and drinks, including Cann, Theory Wellness, Vibations Cannabis, and Good Feels.

We recommend beverage enhancers from Good Feels for this particular cannabis mocktail recipe. The tinctures are made with pure cannabis extractions so you get a balanced addition of CBD and THC to your mocktails.

The best part is that on top of being able to control your dosage, these cannabis enhancers are:

• Zero sugar
• Fast-acting
• Zero calorie
• Easy to dose
• Hangover-free

This is because these products are made with a nano-encapsulation process that allows cannabis oil to enter your bloodstream faster. In fact, tinctures work nearly as fast as smoking or vaping!

Good Feels has beverage enhancers such as lemon-lime, raspberry, and flavorless! You can find these seasonally on our online menu or ask for them in-store at our Hennep Provincetown location.

For this recipe, we like using the lemon lime or flavorless beverage enhancer because it pairs so well with the freshly squeezed blood orange. However, you could easily get creative with this recipe and create your own!

Try swapping the blood orange for a lemon or use a strawberry-flavored seltzer water and use the raspberry-flavored beverage enhancer to create a whole new flavor mix for this cannabis mocktail recipe.

Whether you’re participating in Dry January, moving away from alcohol for health reasons, or simply want to enjoy a good cannabis mocktail, this elevated Blood Orange Spritzer recipe is simple, delicious, and perfect for just about any occasion.
