TINCTURE INFUSION GUIDE:
For best results, use a properly prepared cannabis tincture (alcohol- or glycerin-based).
QUICK DECARBOXYLATION REMINDER:
* 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.
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
* 3 oz fresh pineapple juice
* 2 oz pink dragon fruit puree (fresh or thawed from frozen)
* 1.5 oz fresh lime juice
* 1 oz passion fruit syrup
* 1 egg white or 1 oz aquafaba (for the sour foam)
* Ice cubes
* Garnish: Pineapple leaf and a sprinkle of black sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a cocktail shaker, combine the pineapple juice, dragon fruit puree, lime juice, and passion fruit syrup.
* Add the cannabis tincture (20mg total).
* Add the egg white or aquafaba.
* Perform a "dry shake" (shake without ice) for 20 seconds to emulsify the proteins and create a thick, stable foam.
* Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously again for 15 seconds until chilled.
* Double-strain into two chilled coupe or sour glasses. The drink should have a vibrant pink hue with a thick white foam head.
* Garnish with a pineapple leaf tucked into the foam and a tiny pinch of black sea salt for contrast.
CHEF’S TIPS:
Dragon Fruit Choice: Use the pink/red-fleshed dragon fruit specifically to achieve the intense "exotic" neon color. The white-fleshed variety will not provide the same visual impact.
The Dry Shake: This is essential for the "sour" style. It ensures the tincture and the foam are perfectly integrated.
Acid Balance: If the pineapple juice is very sweet, add an extra 1/4 oz of lime juice to keep the "sour" profile sharp.
Vegan Friendly: Aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas) creates a foam nearly identical to egg whites.
Serve immediately for a stunning, tropical, and potent presentation. Enjoy the Exotic High Sour responsibly 🍍🐉
