Torchlight Cocktail
Nothing cuts through spice and heat like a teaspoon of smooth, golden honey. The Torchlight Cocktail, originally created at Little Branch in New York City, is an essential for spicy cocktail lovers. This highly customizable drink (built with either tequila or white rum), is refreshing but fiery. The spice of both cayenne pepper and Cholula hot sauce is tempered by the addition of sweet, raw honey. Keep reading to learn how to make our CBD-infused version of this spicy cocktail staple.*
A Modern Classic Cocktail
My favorite thing about the Torchlight Cocktail is how specialized you can make it. Unlike some classic cocktails with time-honored exacting recipes, the Torchlight was created to be customized. Create a delicious bespoke Torchlight by choosing between tequila or sweet white rum, controlling your spice level, and of course, by adding CBD!*
A Touch of Spice
If you’re a fan of spice, this cocktail is a must-try. Torchlight brings the heat with both cayenne pepper and Cholula hot sauce. A little spice-shy? Don’t fret – you’re totally in control of just how much heat you’ll be drinking. To temper your cocktail, simply add a touch more CBD Honey.*
Health Benefits of Honey
In addition to tasting great, raw honey is an amazing source of antioxidants and has natural antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Honey actually naturally contains the antiseptic agent hydrogen peroxide. Raw honey is also chock full of phytonutrients, which are derived from plants and contain their own antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Honey can help soothe a sore throat and quiet a noisy cough, making the Gold Rush the perfect cocktail for cold and flu season. Finally, honey can also soothe digestive issues from ulcers to upset tummies. Our Brothers Apothecary Wild Rosin Honey is handcrafted with full-spectrum, terpene-rich Hemp Rosin and blended with sustainable, ethically harvested raw wildflower honey. Each teaspoon contains an estimated 20 MG of CBD.*
Why CBD Cocktails?
You may have noticed CBD cropping up in cocktails and health drinks at your local haunts. Derived from hemp, CBD is the non-psychoactive cousin to THC. CBD has been used for hundreds of years to reduce chronic pain, relieve anxiety, promote sleep, and boost mood. When combined with the stress-relieving effects of a good bourbon, CBD works to promote a sense of ease.*
