Why Infused Drinks?
Cannabis drinks are the fastest-growing edible category for good reason: faster onset than solid edibles (30-60 min vs 1-2 hours), refreshing, easy to dose, and social. The key challenge is getting oil to mix evenly into water-based drinks.
Dosing Tips for Drinks
- Oil and water don't mix — always add an emulsifier (lecithin) or use a tincture instead of oil
- Tinctures are the easiest way to dose drinks — just add drops
- If using infused coconut oil, blend with a milk frother or in a blender
- Start with 5mg per drink and adjust from there
- Make a master syrup: infused simple syrup (sugar + water + tincture) stores for weeks
#1: Infused Lemonade
Make standard lemonade (lemon juice, water, sugar). Add infused simple syrup or tincture drops. The citrus acid helps mask any herbal flavor. Serve over ice with fresh mint.
Heat 1 cup water + 1 cup sugar until dissolved. Remove from heat, add tincture (calculate your dose), and stir. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Add to any drink.
#2: Iced Coffee
Brew strong coffee, let cool. Add infused coconut oil or MCT oil, milk, and sweetener. Blend or shake with ice. The fat in the oil creates a creamy latte texture. Works especially well with MCT oil since it stays liquid when cold.
#3: Tropical Smoothie Bowl
Blend frozen mango, banana, coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon infused coconut oil until thick. Pour into a bowl, top with granola, berries, and coconut flakes. The tropical flavors pair naturally with coconut oil.
#4: Mojito Mocktail
Muddle fresh mint and lime juice. Add infused simple syrup, soda water, and ice. The mint and lime completely mask any herbal notes. Garnish with a lime wheel and mint sprig. No alcohol needed — the infusion provides the relaxation.
#5: Sparkling Fruit Water
Add a measured dose of tincture to sparkling water with fresh fruit slices (cucumber, berries, citrus). The simplest and most refreshing option. Best with a glycerin tincture for sweetness, or alcohol tincture for faster onset.
Tips for Even Distribution
- Stir or shake before every sip — oil rises to the top in water-based drinks
- Tinctures mix more evenly than oil in cold drinks
- Lecithin helps emulsify oil into water-based drinks
- Thick drinks (smoothies, shakes) hold oil in suspension better than thin liquids
- Make individual servings, not pitchers — dosing a whole pitcher accurately is difficult
