Important Edible Safety Note
Cannabis drinks can take longer to feel than inhaled cannabis and may last longer. Potency depends on the CBD and THC tinctures, 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
- ¾ cup sparkling water
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- ¼ tsp turmeric
- 1 dropper each of CBD and THC tincture
- Pinch of black pepper (activates turmeric)
Equipment
- Glass and stirrer
Before You Start
Measure the CBD and THC tinctures into the citrus-ginger base, stir the tonic over ice, and serve the single glass cold.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Shake or stir all ingredients over ice for 10–15 seconds, until the glass is cold and the infusion is evenly dispersed.
- Garnish with orange peel or a lemon wheel and serve while cold.
- Portion into 1 tonic.
Dosing and Portioning Notes
Potency depends on the strength of your CBD and THC tinctures, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the final serving size. If the CBD and THC tinctures are not labeled with usable potency information, dosing cannot be calculated from the recipe alone. Use the listed 1 tonic to plan measured portions, and calculate dose from the labeled infusion strength before eating.
Tips for Best Results
- Stir the CBD and THC tinctures into the citrus-ginger base before adding ice so the measured serving is consistent.
- Use freshly squeezed citrus for a brighter tonic.
- Serve the drink immediately and keep it to the single planned portion.
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.
