How Can Zolt Products Fit Into My Life?

Full-spectrum hemp extract or its derivative, CBD isolate, are the main active ingredients in Zolt’s products. Taken singularly, either can help relieve pain, reduce anxiety, or improve skin health. There’s even some evidence that they can have benefit your heart and may even help alleviate some symptoms associated with cancer. However, in many of Zolt’s products, hemp extract or CBD isolate is combined with antioxidants and adaptogens, which further the impact of hemp’s beneficial effects. These easy-to-use drink mixes, with their integrated wellness-enhancement properties, can help you meet and seize the day like you never have before.

CBD Can Boost Physical Performance

CBD has benefits for everyone, whether you’re just looking for an overall improvement in well-being or you’re trying to physically perform at your absolute best. For athletics, there are some powerful reasons why it could up your game:

Anti-Inflammation

CBD has been shown to help reduce inflammation in your muscles, which is especially helpful in avoiding and recovering from stiffness and soreness after a tough workout. Zolt products can help minimize this inflammation and help you recover more quickly.

Pain Management

If you’re still in pain from yesterday’s workout, it’s harder to get motivated for today’s. Pain isn’t necessarily a bad thing; it can mean that you’re putting forth maximum effort in your workout. With a balanced combination of CBD and adaptogens, however, Zolt products can help with long-term pain management when taken consistently. This can help you spend more time on the field (or court, or track, or bike seat, etc.).

Stress Management

Training for a big race or prepping for an important game? It’s easy to let stress take over your mind, making you less focused on preparing yourself to compete. CBD has been shown to help keep you centered and relaxed so that you’re able to perform at your best.

Sleep Aid

With increased training and physical activity comes the need for increased quantities of rest and sleep. Zolt products, specifically the “Dreamy” formulation with added melatonin, help you effectively turn off at the end of a day and ensure that you get a full, restful night’s sleep so that you’re ready to win the next day.

Save 25% off the Zolt Variety Pack and feel extra relaxed knowing you’re getting a great deal.

Coffee shops, it’s time to add decaf nitro cold brew to the menu
A missing piece at every coffee shop
Nitro cold brew

Nitro cold brew remains one of my all-around favorite coffee drinks to order. It's truly never disappointed me. Every sip is smooth, creamy (without any actual cream), and has the perfectly velvety texture. When I'm out running errands or traveling, I love treating myself to nitro cold brew because I don't make it at home. Unlike an iced americano or a regular cold brew, which I make at home, making nitro cold brew requires the infusion of tiny nitrogen bubbles.

As much as I love nitro cold brew, I've identified one major problem. The caffeine in nitro cold brew hits hard -- especially if you slurp it down as fast as I do. This drink's smooth and velvety nature makes it so easy to drink quickly. The average nitro cold brew contains between 200 and 300 mg per serving, more than enough to make you feel jittery. Even as a caffeine addict, I find the caffeine in a nitro cold brew to be a bit too much (especially if I've already had another coffee that day). After experiencing the caffeine jitters from nitro cold brew one too many times, I've wondered: Why isn't decaf nitro cold brew a thing? I've searched dozens of coffee shop menus and have never found decaf nitro cold brew on a menu.

Is there really such a thing as the best merlot wine?
The objective answer is no, but the subjective answer is yes
Merlot being poured into a glass

Those of a certain age might remember Paul Giamatti’s character in the 2004 movie Sideways ("If anyone orders merlot, I’m leaving."), and the subsequent tanking of that particular varietal expression. Was that fair or accurate? No. Are there garbage merlots? You better believe it. But merlot is a fantastic grape, wonderful on its own and fabulous in a blend -- and this leads to the question: Is there such a thing as the best merlot wine?

If you asked me, I’d say it was a toss-up between two famous producers from Bordeaux’s "right bank" -- in other words, wines made primarily with merlot. My first response would be any wine produced by Château Pétrus, especially a Grand Cru. Pétrus, famous since the 19th century, is located in Bordeaux’s subregion of Pomerol. It makes stunningly good wines solely from merlot grapes grown in its blue clay terroir: a wine that’s lush, voluptuous, and silky -- with a hint of earthy truffle.

Don’t be afraid of using Scotch in cocktails – these bartenders show you how
Beatnick on the River

As today is National Cocktail Day, lots of us will be reaching for our home bars to try out something new. That could be working with a new spirit or an unusual liqueur -- or even digging in the garden for some fresh herbs to add to a mixing glass. But there's one spirit which plenty of people enjoy drinking but rarely mix with, and that's Scotch.

Scotch is most often enjoyed neat, and it used to be the case that even thinking about mixing with it was considering wasteful and unsophisticated. But that time has passed, and now plenty of bartenders and experts are interested in what this powerful, smokey whisky style can add to a cocktail.
