A cannabis-infused mojito is the perfect blend of minty freshness, lime zest, and a subtle cannabis kick. This easy-to-make drink is ideal for relaxing on a warm day or enjoying at a casual gathering with friends.

Ingredients

10 fresh mint leaves
1 lime, cut into wedges
2 tablespoons sugar (or simple syrup)
1–2 teaspoons cannabis-infused simple syrup (adjust for desired potency)
1/2 cup white rum (optional, or substitute with sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version)
1/2 cup club soda or sparkling water
Ice cubes
Mint sprigs and lime slices for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

Choose a sturdy glass like a highball glass for serving.
Place the 10 fresh mint leaves and 2 lime wedges in the glass.

Step 2: Muddle the Flavors

Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and lime wedges together, releasing the oils and juices. Don’t overdo it—you want the oils released without tearing the mint into pieces.

Step 3: Sweeten the Base

Add the sugar or simple syrup to the glass.
Then, mix in 1–2 teaspoons of cannabis-infused simple syrup. Start with a smaller dose if you’re new to cannabis-infused drinks, and adjust as needed for your desired potency.

Step 4: Add Rum or Water

Pour in white rum (if using). For a mocktail version, substitute with sparkling water.

Step 5: Mix and Top With Soda

Fill the glass about 3/4 full with ice cubes.
Top it off with club soda or sparkling water.

Step 6: Stir and Garnish

Gently stir the drink to mix all the flavors together.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a slice of lime for a polished look.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Sip and savor your mojito slowly—cannabis can take time to kick in, so be mindful of your intake.

Tips for Infusing with Cannabis

To make cannabis-infused simple syrup, combine equal parts water and sugar, heat until dissolved, then mix in your desired amount of cannabis tincture. Store it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Test the potency of your syrup before adding it to the mojito. Start with low doses, especially if you’re unsure of your tolerance.
