The Newest Bar Trend with a Secret Ingredient

The latest in bar trends is the mocktail - no longer a sweet and syrup-y concoction but now a drink that often outsells beer at many bars. Ivan Garza mixes up Magic Carpets at The Laundry using CBD infused honey from local company, lost range®. “If you don’t drink, the CBD gives you a reason to go out with your friends, have a mocktail and still have that social aspect where you’re not just drinking water,” Ivan says. “It has a lot of flavor. With two, you might feel really relaxed, nice and chill.”
