Important Edible Safety Note
Cannabis drinks can take longer to feel than inhaled cannabis and may last longer. Potency depends on the cannabis tincture, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the serving size. Start with a low serving, wait before taking more, label infused foods clearly, and store them securely away from children, pets, and anyone who could mistake them for non-infused food. This recipe is for adults in places where cannabis use is legal; follow your local laws.
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh grapefruit juice
- ¾ cup sparkling water
- 1 tbsp infused citrus simple syrup
- Grapefruit wedge and ice
Citrus Cannabis Syrup:
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup water
- Zest of 1 grapefruit
- 1 tsp cannabis tincture
Equipment
- Saucepan or pot
- Glass and stirrer
Before You Start
Measure the cannabis tincture into the cooled citrus syrup, then stir one drink over ice and label any extra syrup.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make citrus syrup by simmering sugar, water, and zest. Let cool, then stir in tincture.
- Fill a glass with ice. Add juice, syrup, and sparkling water.
- Garnish with grapefruit wedge.
- Portion into 1 drink plus extra syrup.
Dosing and Portioning Notes
Potency depends on the strength of your cannabis tincture, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the final serving size. If the cannabis tincture is not labeled with usable potency information, dosing cannot be calculated from the recipe alone. Use the listed 1 drink plus extra syrup to plan measured portions, and calculate dose from the labeled infusion strength before eating.
Tips for Best Results
- Add the cannabis syrup only after hot mixtures cool slightly, then stir thoroughly so the serving is evenly mixed.
- Stir after adding the cannabis tincture so the measured serving tastes consistent from first sip to last.
- Assemble close to serving time so the finished portion tastes fresh and keeps its intended texture.
Storage and Serving
Serve immediately. For safety, make only what you plan to serve and do not store infused leftovers.
Keep infused food counted, clearly labeled, and secured until serving. Do not leave infused food on counters, tables, or anywhere children, pets, or guests could reach it by accident. Discard anything that was left out, unlabeled, unattended, or cannot be clearly identified.
