There's a moment most days that calls for something cold, fizzy, and a little indulgent. CBD drinks slot right into that moment, swapped in for whatever you'd normally crack open. Alongside the fizz and the flavour, there's the CBD itself, added in to support that same feeling of easing off and letting yourself wind down.
Fancy something to nibble alongside it? Our CBD gummies and edibles selection delivers the same indulgence.
What is a CBD Drink?
A CBD drink is a beverage with a measured amount of cannabidiol (CBD) added, usually extracted from hemp and blended into a base of water, juice, or a sparkling mixer. Because CBD doesn't naturally dissolve in water, brands use emulsification to break it into tiny droplets that stay suspended through the can instead of separating. The result pours and tastes like an ordinary soft drink, with the CBD content stated in milligrams on the label.
The Ease of Drinking CBD
There's nothing to measure out and nothing to prepare. A CBD drink already comes with its dose fixed and clearly stated on the can, so there's no uncertainty about how much you're getting from one sip to the next. It slots into a normal drink moment instead of asking you to build a new habit around it.
Flavour plays its part too. With a range running from citrusy to soft and fruity, picking a can comes down to what you'd genuinely fancy drinking that day, so taking CBD this way feels like reaching for a drink you like.
Why Take It?
CBD is one of the natural compounds found in hemp, and it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors that plays a role in regulating things like mood and sleep. That's the basic reason so many people add it to their day, and CBD drinks deliver it just as well.
Many people pick a CBD drink as the way they first try CBD, simply because it's a format they already know how to enjoy. It's also a low-commitment way to find out if CBD's right for you. A single can is enough to get a feel for it, no large pack to commit to and no big decision needed before you've even tried it.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Do CBD drinks make you intoxicated?
CBD itself isn't psychoactive and doesn't cause intoxication. Any mind-altering effect comes from THC, and UK-compliant CBD drinks must keep THC within a strict legal limit, which is relatively low to cause such effects.
Can you drink CBD every day?
Daily use is common, but total CBD intake across everything consumed that day matters more than any single can. The FSA's guidance caps healthy adult intake at 10mg of CBD a day from all sources combined.
Are CBD drinks legal in the UK?
CBD drinks are legal in the UK when listed under a valid novel food application with the FSA and kept within the permitted THC limit. CBD is classed as a novel food, meaning it requires safety assessment before it can be sold. You can check a product against the FSA's public list of applications, and a lab report (COA) confirms that what's actually in the can has been independently tested.
