THC Infusion 101: Know Your Options

Before we dive into the recipes, let's talk about how to incorporate cannabis into cocktails. Here are three primary ways:

THC Tinctures (Alcohol-Based) – A few drops of a high-quality THC tincture dissolve easily into your drink.

Cannabis Simple Syrup – Sweet and versatile, perfect for cocktails that need a touch of sugar.

Infused Spirits – Infuse your vodka, rum, or tequila with cannabis for a fully blended experience.

Dosing Guidelines

For an enjoyable and controlled experience, stick to these dosing recommendations per drink:

Beginner: 2.5mg THC

Moderate: 5-10mg THC

Advanced: 10+mg THC (only if you know your tolerance!)

Pro Tip: Start low and go slow—THC takes longer to hit when ingested vs. smoked. Give it 30-60 minutes before going for round two.
