Cali Sunrise Mocktail: A How to Do The Pot Collab
The sober curious movement has been gaining traction over the past few years and people are exploring the benefits of reducing or eliminating alcohol from their lives. I know I’ve significantly cut back now that I’m in my thirties and hangovers last for days! The rise of mocktails and alcohol-free beverages also provide a way to enjoy the social aspects of drinking without the negative effects of alcohol.
With cannabis legalization, many opt for a Cali sober lifestyle, meaning they cut out alcohol and only consume cannabis. This approach is based on the idea that cannabis is less harmful than alcohol and can provide some of the same benefits, such as relaxation and socialization, without the negative effects of alcohol on the body and mind. This has led to an increase in cannabis-infused beverages on the market and I am here for it!
