Even though it isn’t officially summer till June 20th this year, it’s already here in spirit. So whether you need a refreshing drink for your Memorial Day weekend BBQ or want to kick off June with some poolside hangs, here are three CBD twists on the classic Tom Collins cocktail worth a spin (or two).
Tip: For the classic boozy version of any of these cocktails, simply add two ounces of your favorite gin. Not a gin fan? Vodka works great, too.
