LA-Based Mixologist Nick Meyer: Innovation Using CBD Powder
Native Angeleno Nick Meyer, arguably the most innovative and creative mixologist & bar director in Los Angeles - if you've been to Bestia, Sotto, Ronan, Tarine, Petty Cash, Barrel & Ashes or Redbird, chances are you've had one of Nick's creations, worked with us to create four truly original CBD mocktails using our water soluble CBD powder.
As more and more of us choose to reduce our alcoholic consumption, Nick literally ups the bar on the growing trend towards non-alcoholic wellness beverages.
Nick crafted four healthy, one-of-a-kind mocktails made using our water-soluble CBD powder that can be easily replicated at home.
We definitely recommend inviting some friends over, grabbing a cheese board and lighting a candle to set the mood.
Be Well, inspired by wellness.
