Cannabis infused cocktails are a great way to combine the effects of THC/CBD with alcohol and can also be made without the alcohol for those who want to enjoy a nice drink without the alcohol. These cannabis infused cocktails are absolutely delicious and are great to drink by yourself, with a friend, or at a party or gathering. They are very easy to make at home without any specialist equipment. They are simple to make even for those people who have not made cocktails before. These drinks are perfect to enjoy at any time of day and for any occasion and the potency can be adjusted to your liking. They can pack quite a punch so consume responsibly!
If you’d like to make these cocktails without the alcohol but still have the THC/CBD in it then you can use cannasugar or THC syrup and do not include the alcohol in the recipe (or use an alcohol free version so you still get the taste).
Without further ado, let’s make some weed cocktails!

These ingredients are all muddled together with white rum and topped with a splash of soda water. This cocktail is the perfect choice for a hot summer day or a night in with friends. In this recipe we will be using cannabis infused rum however you can make an alcohol free version by using THC infused simple syrup and leaving out the alcohol or use an alcohol-free rum.

The deep amber color of the cocktail is as inviting as it is alluring, and the cherry and orange peel garnish adds a pop of bright color to the glass.

What are the effects of cannabis infused cocktails?
Combining cannabis and alcohol can create a “crossfaded” effect which is very powerful. The alcohol and cannabis potentiate each other so it is vital you drink these infused cocktails responsibly. I would recommend making alcohol free versions of these cocktails to those who do not want to be crossfaded but still want to have the effects of the THC/CBD from the cannabis.
