Most of us already have a fairly established drinks routine.
-
Coffee in the morning.
-
Tea when someone puts the kettle on.
-
Something cold with lunch.
-
Maybe something different later in the day.
So if you are adding SKïP into that routine, a fair question is: Does anything else need to change?
Not really.
SKïP was built to stand completely on its own.
-
Straight from the can.
-
Cold from the fridge.
-
No dressing up required.
But if the moment calls for something a little more considered, it works just as well poured over ice with fresh fruit or a simple garnish.
Some people also use it as a mocktail base.
That flexibility is part of what makes the drinks easy to fit into everyday life.
SKïP can simply become another option for the moments when you fancy something cold, refreshing and a little different.
Key Takeaways
-
SKïP is designed to taste good on its own, straight from the can.
-
Serving it over ice with fruit, mint or another simple garnish can make it feel more occasion-led.
-
Coffee and tea can still have a place in the same day as SKïP.
-
Some customers choose Cloudy Apple or Blood Orange instead of an afternoon coffee.
-
SKïP works naturally as a mocktail base because the flavours already have plenty of depth.
-
Very sweet or artificial mixers can overpower the flavours already in the drink.
Is SKïP Best Enjoyed on Its Own?
Honestly, yes.
That was the starting point.
SKïP is built to taste good straight from the can without needing anything added to it.
You can grab one cold from the fridge, open it and drink it exactly as it is.
That matters to us because we never wanted the drink to rely on a garnish, mixer or complicated serve to make it interesting.
The flavour should already be there.
But sometimes the moment is different.
-
Dinner with friends.
-
A summer evening outside.
-
A work get-together.
-
Or simply a night when you fancy putting something into a proper glass.
That is where ice, fresh fruit or a sprig of mint can work really nicely.
Same drink.
Just a slightly more elevated serve.
Can Coffee, Tea and SKïP All Fit Into the Same Day?
Absolutely. Coffee and tea do not need to disappear just because SKïP is in the fridge.
A lot of people still enjoy coffee earlier in the day and then reach for something different later.
We hear this particularly around the afternoon.
Cloudy Apple and Blood Orange are the two SKïP Lion’s Mane flavours, and plenty of people use them as an alternative to another coffee when 2 pm or 3 pm rolls around.
Sometimes that is because they simply fancy something cold.
Sometimes it is because another hot drink is the last thing they want, particularly in warmer weather.
And even in colder months, there are days when you have already been to the kettle enough times, and something different sounds better.
It does not have to be one or the other.
Some days a cold SKïP sounds better.
Can I Mix SKïP With Coffee?
There has been no research to suggest it wouldn’t be okay to have both in the same day.
We just would not overcomplicate it by pouring one into the other.
Coffee is doing one thing.
SKïP is doing another.
A cold Lemon & Basil probably does not need to end up in your flat white.
And that is fine.
Have a SKïP when you fancy something cold, lightly sparkling and fruit-led.
Can I Mix SKïP With Tea?
The same idea applies here. There is no research to suggest you can’t have tea and a SKÏP in the same day.
But they’re not really designed to be mixed into the same cup or sitting. SKÏP already has enough going on to work by itself.
That means you can remove all the flavour-pairing examples underneath, because her comment is clearly asking to simplify the whole section rather than keep those combinations.
SKïP already has enough going on to work by itself.
Is SKïP Good for Mocktails?
Yes. This is probably where mixing SKïP makes the most sense.
The drinks already have plenty of complexity in the flavour, so they do not disappear once you start building a mocktail around them.
-
Elderflower & Mint has that fresh, floral profile that can feel a little like a Hugo Spritz.
-
Peach & Ginger has more warmth and spice, which can take the drink in a Moscow Mule kind of direction.
-
And SKïP has already been used in occasion-led serves, including Elderflower & Mint paired with a non-alcoholic gin in a JOMO box.
That is really where we see mixing working best.
The drink already gives you a strong base to build from when you want to make a mocktail.
Can I Mix SKïP With Sparkling Water?
You can. Sparkling water is probably the easiest way to make SKïP into a longer drink without changing the flavour too much.
Start with plenty of ice.
Pour in a chilled SKïP.
Top with a little sparkling water.
Then add something fresh if you fancy it.
|
SKïP flavour |
Simple serve idea |
|
Elderflower & Mint |
Ice, fresh mint and sparkling water |
|
Lemon & Basil |
Ice, fresh lemon and basil |
|
Peach & Ginger |
Ice, fresh ginger or peach |
|
Any CBD flavour |
Chilled sparkling water and plenty of ice |
These are ideas rather than recipes.
Sometimes a nice glass, some ice and a garnish are enough.
Can I Mix SKïP With Juice or Squash?
You probably don’t need to. The SKïP CBD range already contains real fruit juice, so there is plenty of fruit flavour in the can already.
SKïP is designed to work well on its own, chilled and ready to drink.
Squash is not really where we would go.
The flavours in SKïP are already doing quite a lot, so adding another sweet or artificial flavour on top can start to muddy what is already there.
We would rather let the drink keep its own character.

Are There Any Mixers We Would Avoid?
We would stay away from anything heavily artificial or very sweet.
Each SKïP has no added sugar and plenty of flavour already in the can.
A very sugary mixer can quickly take the drink in a completely different direction.
That does not mean there is a long list of rules.
It is really just about letting the flavour already in the can do its job.
If something complements it, great. If it overwhelms it, it probably is not adding much.
How Do People Actually Serve SKïP?
Usually in fairly simple ways.
Straight from the can is still the easiest.
Chilled over ice is another favourite.
A slice of fruit or a sprig of mint can make it feel a little more special.
And when people want something more occasion-led, SKïP can work as the base for a proper mocktail.
-
That might be dinner.
-
A BBQ.
-
Friends coming round.
-
A summer evening.
-
Or a work get-together where you want something that feels like part of the occasion.
You do not need twelve ingredients and a cocktail shaker. A cold can, a nice glass and a garnish can already do plenty.
Should I Mix SKïP With Alcohol?
We would keep SKïP and alcohol as separate choices for different moments.
Part of what makes SKïP useful is that it already feels like a proper drink in its own right.
So at dinner, a BBQ, a work event or a night with friends, it can simply be one of the options on the table.
You can still be fully part of the occasion while choosing whatever feels right for you.
There is also the CBD guidance to keep in mind.
The Food Standards Agency currently advises healthy adults to limit CBD from food to 10mg per day.
Each SKïP CBD can contains 5mg of cold-pressed CBD, so two cans contain 10mg of CBD in total.
The FSA does not recommend CBD for under-18s, people who are pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive, or people taking medication, unless under medical direction.
For us, keeping alcohol and SKïP as separate choices keeps things much simpler.
SKïP Is Built for the Moment You Are In
Some days you want coffee.
Some days you want tea.
And sometimes you want a cold SKïP.
That is how we think about the drinks.
They are easy enough to open straight from the fridge, but there is plenty of flavour there if you want to make more of the serve.
-
A different glass.
-
Some ice.
-
A garnish.
-
A mocktail when the occasion calls for it.
The drink is already finished.
You are simply choosing how you want to enjoy it.
FAQs
Will Mixing SKïP Change the Amount of CBD?
If you use the whole can, adding ice or sparkling water does not change the stated 5mg of CBD in that can. What changes is the size and flavour of the finished drink. Experiences with CBD vary, so we would focus more on how much CBD you are having overall than on expecting a different effect because of the way you serve it.
Can I Add Ice and Mint to SKïP?
Yes. Elderflower & Mint is the obvious place to start, but you can experiment with the other flavours too. Cold SKïP, plenty of ice and something fresh on top. Sometimes that is all you need.
Can I Serve SKïP Warm or Hot?
SKïP is not designed to be heated up. It’s lightly sparkling, and the fruit and botanical flavours are created around a chilled drinking experience.
Can I Mix CBD and Lion’s Mane SKïPs Together?
We would keep the two ranges separate. They were created as different drinks with different ingredients and flavours, so we would enjoy them that way rather than mixing the cans together.
Are There Official SKïP Mocktail Recipes?
SKïP works naturally as a mocktail base, particularly with ice, fresh fruit, herbs and simple alcohol-free pairings. You do not need much. The drink already brings plenty of flavour on its own.
Can I Use SKïP in a Smoothie?
You can experiment, but it is not really how we would choose to serve it. SKïP is lightly sparkling and built to be enjoyed cold, so blending it into a smoothie changes the experience quite a lot. If you fancy both, have the smoothie when you want a smoothie and the SKïP when you fancy a SKïP. No complicated rules.
