CBD seltzers are a fun and refreshing way to enjoy a little calm in your day. If you’re in Maine, you’re in luck; the fresh ingredients available here take these recipes to the next level. Here are some unique CBD seltzer recipes you can easily whip up at home using Shimmerwood’s seltzers for a true to Maine experience.

1. Maine Blueberry Bliss

Maine is renowned for its blueberries, and this seltzer harnesses that vibrant flavor to create an unforgettable drink. Start with a handful of fresh blueberries, gently crushed to release their juices. Mix them with a can of Just Hemp Shimmer Seltzer to bring an extra layer of calm to your sipping experience. Blueberry seltzers are like drinking the essence of Maine summers, capturing the state’s rustic charm in every vibrant, bubbly sip. Using Shimmer Seltzer makes the drink 100% Maine since every can of Shimmer is made right in Portland, Maine.

To enhance the blueberry’s natural flavor, consider adding a dash of lemon or lime juice. This not only brings out the fruit’s sweetness but also adds an invigorating citrus twist. For a more adventurous palate, you might incorporate a sprig of thyme or basil, elevating this refreshing drink to restaurant-quality sophistication. Let this recipe transport you to a sunlit Maine blueberry field, no matter where you sip.

2. Citrus Sea Spray

This refreshing seltzer is perfect when you’re longing for the sea breeze and the sound of crashing waves. Combine freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice with our Razz Lime or Just Hemp CBD seltzers to bring a layer of smooth relaxation unique to Shimmerwood’s Maine roots. Citrus fruits bring a sunny vibrancy, making every sip reminiscent of a day on a scenic Maine shoreline.

3. Herbal Freshness Fusion

Mint and basil together create a symphony of flavors that dance on your tongue. For this seltzer, muddle a few sprigs of mint and basil in a glass, then simply add your favorite flavor of Shimmer Seltzer, we recommend Razz Lime and of course Just Hemp for this one. This aromatic blend not only refreshes but complements the calming elements of CBD perfectly. The combination hits refreshing notes, drawing you in and cooling you down, perfect for a summer’s day.

4. Apple Orchard Seltzer

Capture the essence of a Maine orchard with every sip of this CBD-enhanced apple seltzer. Start with freshly pressed apple juice, allowing its fresh, crisp notes to shine. Add a splash of Ginger Orange Shimmer Seltzer for an added bite, or Chai Cherry for a deeper tone. Feel free to garnish with a cinnamon stick or a dash of nutmeg to embrace the essence of fall, bringing that ripened orchard nostalgia alive no matter the season.

For a hint of tartness and to complement the apple’s sweetness, consider including a few drops of lemon juice. This recipe mirrors the spirit of Maine’s lush apple orchards, crafting a refreshing and aromatic drink that bridges the gap between relaxation and indulgence.

5. Strawberry Rhubarb Fizz

Bring back nostalgic summers with the sweet and tart flavors of this strawberry rhubarb seltzer. Use a homemade rhubarb syrup as your base, which you can make by simmering rhubarb stalks with sugar until soft. If you aren’t able to go homemade, we highly recommend Tait Farm Food’s Rhubarb Shrub. Combine this with mashed strawberries for an intense fruitiness. Add Just Hemp Shimmer to experience the pure rhubarb strawberry flavor, or pump up the fruity flavor with Razz Lime to craft a beverage as energetic as it is calming. These familiar, seasonal flavors transport you straight to those sunny afternoons spent in Maine’s lush gardens.

The fizziness of the seltzer makes it light and buoyant, while the CBD imparts a soothing counterpoint. Alter the sweetness to your liking with honey or agave syrup, keeping it natural and highlights its authenticity. Inspired by cherished family recipes, this seltzer underlines the creativity and warmth found in Maine’s heritage.

6. Lemon Lavender Tranquility

Few things offer serenity like lavender, making this lemon lavender seltzer an ideal beverage for winding down. Combine fresh lemon juice with a lavender-infused simple syrup, made by steeping lavender flowers in water with sugar. Add a splash of Just Hemp CBD seltzer for a harmonious drink that invites relaxation. This blend is ideal after a busy day in Maine, gently leading you into the evening with its soothing floral notes.

7. Vanilla Bean Serenity

For something a little more indulgent, try this comforting vanilla-infused CBD seltzer. A splash of quality vanilla extract mixed with Chai Cherry CBD seltzer can create an unexpectedly luxurious experience. This drink harmonizes the soothing applicability of vanilla with the briskness of a seltzer, bringing forth calm amidst effervescence. Truly, it’s an invitation to relax into Maine’s peaceful evenings. The woody flavors from Chai Cherry mixed with vanilla makes this drink almost like a creme soda.

8. Maine Maple Mist

Maple syrup is synonymous with Maine, making it a delightful addition to your seltzer repertoire. Mix a teaspoon of this sweet syrup with Chai Cherry Shimmer Seltzer that feels like a warm hug in a glass. The natural sweetness amplifies the mellow vibe of CBD, while the maple notes evoke a weekend brunch amidst Maine’s breathtaking fall foliage. The cherry bark bitters from the Chai Cherry mix perfectly with its maple counterpart.

A burst of peppermint offers invigoration and complements the serene attributes of CBD in this unique seltzer mix. Stir in a dash of peppermint extract with a Shimmer Seltzer of your choice, and you’ve got a refreshing minty delight to cool down on Maine’s sun-drenched summer days.

10. Blackberry Sage Soother

The rich, woody depth of sage paired with juicy blackberries culminates in an elegant, sophisticated taste. Crush a handful of blackberries, mix with Chai Cherry Shimmer, and infuse with sage leaves. This delightful concoction lets its flavors mature and blend, allowing you to uncover its nuanced flavors sip by delectable sip.
