Top Ten Cannabis-Infused Cocktails
Not all cannasseurs are heavy consumers, in fact, the majority of cannabis consumers only partake in cannabis once in a while. But that’s mainly because most people can’t afford to be mentally inebriated every day. The benefits from other cannabinoids within the cannabis plant are vast, and thanks to science, we don’t need to participate in THC consumption while we reap the rewards from the rest of this medicinal plant. CBD tinctures, oils and concentrates are widely available now, and there are some restaurants and bars that are infusing their cocktails with the medicinal CBD to aid in the well-being of their patrons as well as involving the entire cannabis community in their business. Smart and Helpful. It’s completely legal and can be easily found at health food stores and online. And it doesn’t have any of the side-effects of THC like paranoia.
Alcohol-based cannabis via tinctures were once a mainstay in the pantry of apothecarists, and are making a comeback. CBD-based tinctures are favored currently in cocktails, over THC, because there’s not really a need to double-up on inebriation. CBD tinctures and oils made from hemp can be found all over the place, including online.
Many bartenders or mixologists are infusing CBD into their cocktails with high demand, and with the right combinations of terpenes, the drinks can be more medicinal than just CBD alone. Combining with fresh fruits and herbs can add power, aroma and flavor to any drink—but add some THC or CBD, and your medicine is going to work doubly hard for you. Thanks cannabinoids!
