Brother Matt is in the Bar
Newsflash: We are tired. It was a 2 am wake up call here on the farm this morning so that we could spread compost tea on our fields! Since we had already been up for 7 hours it was technically time for a drink anyway... you know, by “farm time” standards. This week for our CBD cocktail you have a new face to admire! Matt Edwards, brother and now farmer with us here at the Schoppee Farm, is sharing a unique way of incorporating our hemp flower into a classic "Old Fashion."
THE DETAILS
If you are into the art of cocktail crafting this drink is for you! Simple enough to recreate but dazzling enough to impress your company. Traditionally we use our CBD oils to top off our Friday hemp-infused cocktails but this week Matt chose our hemp flower as the star ingredient. Smoked with rosemary, our flower helps give this classic “Old Fashion” not only a gorgeous, smoky presentation but a complex aroma and taste.
