THC-Infused Mocktail

This refreshing THC-infused mocktail is a non-alcoholic delight, combining fruity and zesty flavors with a subtle cannabis twist. It's perfect for those who enjoy a sophisticated drink without the buzz of alcohol but with the relaxing effects of THC. Here's how you can make it yourself!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/4 cup cranberry juice (unsweetened for a tart kick or sweetened based on your preference)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1–2 teaspoons cannabis-infused simple syrup (adjust to your desired potency)
• 1/2 cup sparkling water or soda water
• Ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves, orange slices, and lime wedges for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

1. Use a large glass or tumbler to hold your mocktail.
2. Fill the glass halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled.

Step 2: Mix the Juices

• Combine the fresh orange juice, cranberry juice, and lime juice in the glass over the ice.

Step 3: Add the Cannabis Infusion

• Stir in 1–2 teaspoons of cannabis-infused simple syrup. If you're new to THC-infused drinks, start with 1 teaspoon to gauge the effects. You can always add more in future batches if needed.

Step 4: Top with Bubbles

• Pour sparkling water or soda water over the juice mixture, filling the glass to the brim. The fizziness adds a refreshing element to the drink.

Step 5: Stir and Garnish

• Gently stir the mocktail to combine all the ingredients without losing the sparkle.
• Garnish with a couple of fresh mint leaves, a slice of orange, and a lime wedge for a vibrant presentation.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

• Serve immediately and sip slowly. Like with all cannabis-infused treats, know your tolerance and give the THC time to kick in.

Tips for Infusing with THC

• To make THC-infused simple syrup, simmer equal parts sugar and water (1 cup each) on low heat until the sugar dissolves. Once cooled, stir in your preferred dose of high-quality cannabis tincture. Store the syrup in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• Always calculate the potency of your syrup based on the tincture strength to ensure you’re dosing responsibly. Start low and go slow if you’re not familiar with your tolerance.

Variations

• For a tropical twist, swap the cranberry juice with pineapple juice, and garnish with a pineapple slice and maraschino cherry.
• Add a hint of spice by muddling a few slices of fresh ginger and straining them into the drink before adding the other ingredients.

Serving Suggestions

This mocktail pairs wonderfully with light snacks like veggie sticks, chips with guacamole, or even some THC-infused savory bites like infused garlic bread. Serve it at casual gatherings or just as a way to unwind after a long day.

Enjoy your THC-infused mocktail responsibly and relax in style!
