TERPENE PAIRING:
Best paired with strains high in Beta-Caryophyllene or Humulene. Caryophyllene enhances the spicy, anti-inflammatory profile of the ginger and horseradish, while Humulene provides an earthy, woody undertone that grounds the acidity of the vinegar.

INGREDIENTS:
* 10mg THC total cannabis tincture
* 1 oz Fire Cider (store-bought or homemade infusion of ACV, ginger, horseradish, garlic, and onion)
* 1 tbsp raw honey (adjust to taste)
* 6 oz Hot water (for a warming tonic) OR 6 oz Chilled soda water (for a refreshing fizz)
* 1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice
* Garnish: A slice of fresh ginger and a cinnamon stick
INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a mug (for hot) or a tall glass (for cold), combine the fire cider, honey, and fresh lemon juice.
* If serving hot: Stir in the hot water until the honey is completely dissolved.
* If serving cold: Stir in a splash of room temp water to dissolve the honey first, then fill with ice and top with soda water.
* Add the cannabis tincture (10mg) and stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
* Garnish with a fresh slice of ginger and a cinnamon stick (the cinnamon adds a nice aromatic warmth to the vinegar base).
CHEF TIPS:
The Fire Cider: If you find fire cider too intense, start with 1/2 oz and work your way up. It is meant to be pungent and "zippy."
Honey Quality: Use raw, local honey to lean into the functional/wellness aspect of the drink.
Temperature: This recipe is particularly effective when served hot during colder months to help clear the sinuses.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Cannabis Ginger Fire Cider Mocktail responsibly 🍎
