The temperatures may be high but the pressures of back to school season are low [and haven’t quite kicked in yet.] Spend these last few moments of summer vacation relaxing and unwinding on the deck savoring one of these refreshingly delicious Hemp Tea cocktails or make it a mock-tail but substituting your favorite sparkling water or seltzer. For a crowd, easily make any of these ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve; then add ice, mix and garnish as desired.
The “Creek Water” Mojito
Some call it an “Arnold Palmer” but growing up in Lancaster County, we’ve always called it “Creek Water.” Just take one part of our Original Hemp Tea, another part of your favorite lemonade (we used Kreiders.) and muddle in some fresh mint leaves for a light and refreshing Creek Water Mojito.
Ingredients
½ fresh lemon, juiced
fresh mint leaves
1 part vodka
simple syrup
2 parts Chiques Creek Hemp Tea: The Original
2 parts lemonade
ice
Instructions
Muddle lemon juice, mint leaves, vodka and simple syrup before adding equal parts hemp tea and lemonade. Add ice and shake until mixed, garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves if desired.
Gin Passionfruit Refresher
Using our Passionfruit + Mint Hemp Tea, this light summer cocktail has some tart, citrus notes that compliment the natural sweetness of our tea. Adjust the amount of passionfruit as desired due to the powerful flavor of the fruit.

½ fresh passionfruit
2 parts Chiques Creek Hemp Tea: Passionfruit + Mint
