You know that feeling when the afternoon heat finally convinces you to stop moving? That's what this recipe is for.
We've been messing around with this one all summer. It started as a way to put the Wims Ginger Lime tincture to work outside of just taking a dropper under the tongue, and now it's become a Saturday afternoon fixture at the shop. Two minutes, a handful of ingredients you've probably already got, and you're done.
What You're Working With
The key ingredient is Wims Flavored Wellness — Ginger Lime ($40). Wims is a 1:1 CBD-to-Delta-9 THC tincture, which means it has a little more presence than a plain CBD product. The ginger lime flavor is real — not artificial — and it plays well in drinks. You can also grab the Lemon Basil or Unflavored version depending on what you're working with, or just get the variety pack to try them all.
For the mocktail itself, you need about six ounces of sparkling water or ginger beer — the non-alcoholic kind works great here. Squeeze in half a fresh lime, add a few mint leaves if you have them, and fill the glass with ice. Stir in one dropper of the Wims tincture, taste, and adjust the lime to where you want it. That's the whole recipe.
A Word on the Delta-9
If you haven't tried a Delta-9 product before, start with half a dropper and give it 30 to 45 minutes before deciding you want more. The 1:1 CBD-to-THC ratio in Wims is balanced, but everyone responds a little differently. If you want to talk through what to expect, stop in at the shop — that's a five-minute conversation and it's worth having before your first Saturday afternoon with one of these.
The Wims tincture may support relaxation and a quieter afternoon when everything in your week has been loud. The ginger adds a little warmth, the lime keeps it bright, and the sparkling water makes it feel like you actually made something rather than just taking a supplement.
If You Want to Add Some Hydration
A lot of people spending time outside right now — gardening, hiking, just sitting on the porch in the afternoon heat — have been reaching for the Nano CBD Hydration Drops by GoodLeaf Hemp Therapeutics ($80). It's not really a cocktail ingredient, but it's a nice companion if staying hydrated is on your mind. The nano formula absorbs fast, it comes in three flavors, and the alkaline water base makes it feel different from anything else on our shelf.
Come Find It This Weekend
The full Wims lineup is in stock right now at 677 E. Eisenhower Blvd. in Loveland. We're open Saturday 11am–6pm and Sunday 12pm–5pm. The variety pack is a good move if you want to try the flavors before committing — Lemon Basil and Ginger Lime are both popular right now. Or just grab the Ginger Lime and make this recipe this afternoon.
Either way, stop moving for a few minutes. Colorado summers are better when you actually slow down in them.
