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)
* 6 oz fresh pineapple juice (preferably cold-pressed)
* 1 oz fresh lime juice
* 1 oz cinnamon simple syrup (recipe in instructions)
* 2 oz chilled club soda or ginger ale
* 1 dash non-alcoholic aromatic bitters (optional)
* Fresh ice cubes
* Garnish: A dehydrated pineapple ring and a whole cinnamon stick
INSTRUCTIONS:
* To make the cinnamon syrup: Simmer 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 cinnamon sticks for 10 minutes. Let cool and strain.
* In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine the pineapple juice, lime juice, and the cinnamon simple syrup.
* Carefully add the cannabis tincture (20mg total) to the mixture.
* Shake or stir vigorously for 20 seconds without ice to ensure the tincture is fully integrated into the syrup and juice.
* Fill two tall glasses (highball or hurricane style) with fresh ice cubes.
* Strain the pineapple-cinnamon base evenly into the two glasses.
* Top each glass with a splash of chilled club soda or ginger ale for a light effervescence.
* Add a dash of non-alcoholic bitters to the top of each drink if desired for extra aromatic complexity.
* Garnish with a pineapple ring and a cinnamon stick.
CHEF’S TIPS:
Spiced Aroma: Use the cinnamon stick garnish as a stirrer; the more it sits in the drink, the more the spice will develop.
Grill the Pineapple: For a "smoky" version, lightly grill fresh pineapple wedges before juicing or using as a garnish to enhance the Myrcene-rich profile.
Syrup Storage: The cinnamon simple syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and is excellent in coffee or tea.
Consistent Dosing: Ensure the tincture is added to the juices before the ice and soda to guarantee an even 10mg distribution per serving.
Zero Sugar: Use a monk fruit or erythritol-based cinnamon syrup for a low-calorie alternative.
Serve chilled in a high-end, tropical-inspired setting. Enjoy the Pineapple Cooler responsibly 🍍
