How To Make Cannabis-Infused Drinks & Mocktails At Home

Do you think you need booze to elevate your beverage game? Think again—or don’t, because we’ve covered both bases.

From expertly mixed mocktails that highlight the herbal notes of cannabis without the alcohol to spirited concoctions that blend THC with your favorite liquors, there’s something for every palate.

Every standout cannabis cocktail starts with the right tincture.

The type of tincture you choose can make or break the vibe of your drink, potentially giving you a weak high. High-quality tinctures make sure that your mocktails are hitting just the right spots.

And, if you aren’t seeking out a high that THC tinctures give, opting for CBD-rich ones can offer the soothing feel without the high.

Flavor also plays a pivotal role in the success of your cannabis mocktail. Opting for complementary flavors like citrus or mint can enhance the freshness of your drink, while other flavors might not blend well and could spoil the mix. Choose wisely!

Are you a tea drinker? Inspired by the beloved Arnold Palmer, this recipe adds the best cannabis twist to your black-tea endeavors.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 3 bags of black tea

• 355ml of homemade or store-bought lemonade

• 3-4 servings of your chosen sublingual tincture, depending on tolerance

• 4 teaspoons of brown sugar

Directions

Begin by brewing the tea bags in hot water, allowing them to steep for about 5-10 minutes or until the tea reaches a rich color. Stir in the brown sugar while the tea is hot, reserving a bit for garnishing the rim. Allow the tea to cool, then pour into a large jug filled with ice cubes. Add the lemonade and your chosen tincture, stirring well to ensure the mixture is evenly distributed. Garnish the rim of your serving glasses with a touch of brown sugar for a sweet, crunchy finish.
