Drink Thread: What Are You Drinking? (Non-Alcoholic)

[node]

I am loving the fantastic range of vintage cordials - especially Dandelion & Burdock and Sarsaparilla - from https://shop.mrfitzpatricks.com/

Very nice looking cordials thank you mate, esp no added sugar ones. Tempted by the 3 bottle bundle!

This is lovely. Had no idea you can freeze these coffees.

Not trying to hijack the thread here, but I actually made a traditional cough syrup in today’s video and thought this would be the perfect place to share it.

It's a simple, old-school method and when you mix it with fizzy water, you get an absolute flavour bomb — proper nostalgic and totally customisable. Think Dandelion & Burdock vibes but homemade.

Anyway, just wanted to drop that in here for anyone who’s into proper drinks with a twist.

Cucumber, Ginger & Lime Juice — A Natural Wellness Elixir​

This refreshing green juice has quickly become a staple in my CBD routine — not just for the taste, but for how it helps my body feel. It combines cucumber, ginger, lime juice, honey, a pinch of salt and spring water to create a calming, anti-inflammatory blend that pairs beautifully with either CBD isolate or full spectrum oil.


I’ve been using it myself to manage inflammation and soothe a throat nodule and I can honestly say it’s made a big difference. It hydrates, energises and brings a kind of clarity that sugary bottled drinks just don’t.

​

---

​

Why it works:​

​

• Cucumber cools the body and reduces puffiness and inflammation.​
• Ginger supports circulation and is a natural anti-inflammatory.​
• Lime helps cleanse and restore, rich in vitamin C.​
• Raw honey is soothing and supports gut health.​
• Spring water + salt support better absorption of cannabinoids.​

It's an easy, natural way to upgrade your wellness — especially for those of us who use Cannabis as daily medication. Plus, no plastic, no hidden sugars, no lab-made chemicals. Just a real, balanced drink that complements the healing process.​

I love you all.

Alright mate just having a mad week trying to get stuff done what I have had to do for ages.
I have been a bit ill as well. I have got some stop smoking pills now so I am stopping smoking tobacco in 2 weeks.
You can't beat a vimto. I had a warm one the other night it was great for my sore throat

Its nice to hear from you. I hope you feel better mate. Oh good for you re smoking - I heard those pills can really help / work.

 

[JR52]

You should get some they are free to get for everybody. You can just ring your local stop smoking service up and they will get them delivered to you

Shoutout to JR52 for making the decision to stop smoking
I did it after nearly 25 years — and honestly, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for my mind, body and spirit. Big respect


Also — I see you with that sore throat!
I’m nursing one myself right now and I swear by natural remedies for healing.


It hurts me to think we’re out here heating up Vimto
...when you could be sipping a terpene-loaded blend, packed with cannabinoids and electrolytes, designed to support your system.


Check out the CBD and Full Spectrum recipe shorts below — I’ve got you covered.

Haha cool mate and thank you.
I am stopping smoking on Saturday after 2 weeks of tablets but I am positive to give in.
The drinks look amazing and really healthy.
I had buttercup syrup for my sore throat which has worked really well for me.
I think this is healthy but I am not sure.

Where did you learn how to make your drinks??
My mate buys ginger and turmeric shots from Marks and spencers he loves them but yours are a lot fresher.
Also mate while you are here. What is your advice on oils for neuropathic pain as I have never tried any and wondered if they work

Ey up JR52 — sending you loads of respect for taking that step on Saturday. You’ve got this. That throat will already be feeling the shift once tobacco’s out the picture!!!


Buttercup syrup does the job but it’s often packed with sugar and additives which can dry you out. That’s one of the reasons I started making natural blends at home using ginger, lemon, honey and oils that support hydration and recovery. It’s become second nature now. I can always take some time to help you with recipes to help your recovery from smoking if you ever need.


Truth is, I’ve cared for people in my family at the end of life who couldn’t smoke or eat. I started looking into ways I could help them stay comfortable and nourished using herbal ingredients and plant oils. That’s what sparked the journey.


Your mate’s turmeric shots sound decent but yeah these are a bit fresher and tailored. The goal’s always to support the body with good ingredients that carry and enhance the oils properly.


For neuropathic pain I’d usually suggest a full spectrum oil with a good balance of THC and CBD if you’ve got access. The two work together in a way that helps a lot of people manage nerve pain gently but effectively. I’m happy to chat more if you want to explore it.


Big love and well done again for stepping into something better

Which make of oil is the best on medical

Which make of oil is the best on medical

Hard to say - I use Curaleaf's - It works for me, there will be other good ones - I like it because of the THC/CBD ratio and the flavour but other ones out there are great too - The drinks are awesome without the oils too -

I definitely found that CBD helped alleviate a percentage of the cravings when I remembered to take it and made it that much more doable/tolerable to quit in the first place and after starting again I really need to get on this again myself soon .

Best of luck with it mate but you got this just prepare yourself each morning for the day ahead vaping and thinking back you'll remember it was the grape gasoline in the mornings that help me get a good start each day and then bubble bath in the afternoons and I definitely think strain choice helped me at the time .

That’s awesome to hear mate. CBD definitely seems to help some people with cravings and inflammation — especially when taken regularly. It’s brilliant you noticed the difference when you were on it.


Quitting anything is no small thing. I’ve stepped away from a few habits over the years too — and it’s never easy — but having the right people around makes a world of difference. Big up the MedBud crew and anyone choosing oils, clean vapes or new routines to look after their health. We're all learning from each other and finding what works.

These tablets I have got block your receptors in your brain.
Each cigarette I have now tastes horrible and they are getting worse by the day.
I am smoking less each day already and have less of an urge to have a cigarette.
I think next week the tablets are even stronger.
These tablets are free to anybody by calling there local stop smoking service

Think I'll have a look mate because I'm still using nicorrette spray and it keeps my smoking down but these tablets look worth considering to knock it on the head

 

[JR52]

You have nothing to lose mate as they are free
@node you should give them a go
