INGREDIENTS:
* 20mg THC total cannabis tincture
* 10-12 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
* 3 oz fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)
* 1.5 oz agave nectar or simple syrup
* 6 oz chilled sparkling water or club soda
* Fresh ice (crushed preferred)
* Garnish: Lime wheels and a large sprig of fresh mint
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Gently place the fresh mint leaves and agave nectar into a cocktail shaker.
* Muddle the mint very lightly for about 15-20 seconds—just enough to release its aromatic oils without tearing the leaves too much.
* Add the fresh lime juice and the cannabis tincture (20mg total) to the shaker.
* Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
* Fill two tall highball glasses with crushed ice.
* Double strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared glasses, ensuring no small mint fragments remain.
* Top each glass with 3 oz of chilled sparkling water.
* Stir very gently once or twice to combine the ingredients without losing effervescence.
* Garnish each drink with a fresh lime wheel floated on top and a generous sprig of mint, gently clapped between your hands to release its aroma.
CHEF TIPS:
Mint Variety: Use spearmint for a classic, sweet mint flavor, or peppermint for a sharper, more invigorating punch.
The Muddle: Be gentle! Over-muddling mint can release chlorophyll, leading to a bitter taste.
Chilling Power: Make sure all your ingredients, especially the sparkling water, are ice-cold to maximize the refreshing sensation and prevent rapid ice melt.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Chilled Refreshing Delight responsibly 🍃
