POT COCKTAILS ARE NOW A THING

04 Jan 2016 By Xin Hui Helder-Eng

From gravity bongs to blueberry blunt wraps and, of course, brownies, industrious stoners have been tinkering with new ways to get high since time immemorial. Now they’re adding cocktails to that mellowed-out list.

With the decline of marijuana prohibition, there is an increasing array of intriguing DIY and pre-packaged options available.

Vodka is the overwhelming favorite for infusing because it’s neutral profile makes a great canvas for anything you care to add. Check the wild range of flavors available on any store shelf. But what’s the fun in that?

Curious to see how weed would play with whiskey, I whipped up a potent batch of Manhattans with weed-infused rye whiskey just in time to enjoy the afternoon sun. (I used Bulleit Rye.) This, um, potent recipe is highly recommended for those of you with no important evening plans.

Eager for more potent dranks? Try bottled lemon ginger cannabis soda in a Moscow Mule, a lemonade vodka infusion for summer sipping or a homemade Sour Diesel simple syrup in, well, anything.
