Entering the UK market, British brand Skip has launched its CBD-infused sparkling drink range with three refreshing variants: Peach & Ginger, Elderflower & Mint, and Lemon & Basil. Each can boasts 5mg of active CBD and uses no soya lecithin, and Skip proudly positions itself as compliant with current UK regulations. This advance adds credibility as the market for CBD beverages grows, with pricing set between £1.79 and £2.99 per can.
