As cannabis legalization takes hold across the states, more and more women are swapping their alcoholic beverages for cannabis mocktails. This new kind of buzz is elevating, hydrating, and a healthier option compared to the classic alcohol-based cocktails we’re all so used to.
If you’re looking to dive into the cannabis cocktail trend, this cannabis-infused blackberry mint mojito recipe is the perfect place to start. THC honey infused with fresh blackberries and mint, this refreshing drink is perfect for a sweet summer afternoon.
Cannabis-Infused Blackberry Mojito
Serves 2, ~5 mg THC each
To make this cannabis-infused cocktail, you’ll need:
- 8 blackberries
- 2 sprigs of mint
- 1 lime, juiced
- 3 tbs THC blackberry syrup (recipe below)
- Club soda
- Pot and mint sprigs for garnish
Directions
Start by muddling the blackberries, mint, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add in the cannabis-infused blackberry simple syrup and shake well. Pour over ice and top with club soda. Garnish with a sprig of mint and hemp leaves, and cheers to a healthier social living!
THC-Infused Blackberry Syrup
Makes 8 oz, 64 mg THC total
Ingredients
- 2 cups organic blackberries
- ½ cup Potli “Going Up”
- 1 cup of filtered water
Directions
- Wash your blackberries and set them aside.
- Pour water into a saucepan.
- Add honey and stir.
- Add blackberries and gently stir.
- Simmer on medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring and mashing blackberries occasionally.
- Remove from heat, cover, and allow syrup to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Using a mesh strainer (or cheesecloth) and funnel, pour blackberry syrup into a sealable glass container.
- Store in the fridge for up to three months.
Use in mocktails, iced coffee or tea, or in your favorite smoothie! I like to use the cooked, fibrous blackberry pulp to make blackberry muffins.
Note: The potency of your cannabis honey may vary since cooked, it is important to start cautiously, and if new to cannabis, only increase by ½ teaspoon after two hours. You can always cut the honey with regular honey to make a less potent batch.
