TINCTURE INFUSION GUIDE:
For best results, use a properly prepared cannabis tincture (alcohol- or glycerin-based).
QUICK DECARBOXYLATION REMINDER (if making your own tincture):
* Preheat oven to 240°F (115°C).
* Break cannabis flower into small pieces and spread on parchment-lined baking sheet.
* Bake 40–45 minutes until lightly browned.
* Cool completely before infusing into high-proof alcohol or vegetable glycerin.
Potency Tip: Test your tincture strength in advance. A standard dropper (1 ml) from a 20mg/ml tincture = 20mg THC total for the recipe (10mg per glass).
INGREDIENTS:
* 20mg THC total cannabis tincture (e.g., 1 full dropper of 20mg/ml tincture)
* 1 cup fresh peach puree (about 2 ripe peaches, peeled and blended)
* 6 to 8 fresh basil leaves
* 2 tbsp honey or agave nectar
* 1 oz fresh lime juice
* 1 cup sparkling mineral water or club soda
* Ice cubes
* Garnish: Thin peach slices and fresh basil sprigs
INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, place the fresh basil leaves and the honey or agave nectar. Muddle gently to release the basil oils without shredding the leaves.
* Add the peach puree and fresh lime juice to the muddled mixture.
* Carefully add the cannabis tincture (20mg total) and stir thoroughly to ensure the infusion is evenly distributed throughout the peach base.
* Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes.
* Divide the peach and basil mixture evenly between the two glasses.
* Top each glass with sparkling mineral water, pouring slowly to maintain the fizz.
* Use a long spoon to stir gently from the bottom to incorporate the flavors and the tincture.
* Garnish with a fresh peach slice on the rim and a sprig of basil for a fragrant finish.
CHEF’S TIPS:
Peach Perfection: If peaches are out of season, use high-quality frozen peaches thawed to room temperature before pureeing.
Smooth Texture: For a more refined drink, strain the peach and basil mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the tincture and sparkling water.
Zero-Sugar Option: Replace the honey with a liquid monk fruit sweetener and use plain sparkling water.
Infusion Integrity: Stir the drink well before the first sip to ensure a consistent dosage throughout the experience.
Make it a Batch: You can prepare the peach and basil base in a pitcher ahead of time, adding the tincture and soda only when ready to serve.
Serve chilled in a setting of sophisticated relaxation. Enjoy the cooler responsibly 🍑🌿
