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 or nectar
* 10 fresh mint leaves
* 1.5 oz fresh lime juice
* 1 oz agave nectar or honey syrup
* 1 cup chilled sparkling mineral water
* Ice cubes (preferably clear cubes)
* Garnish: Fresh peach wedges and a lush mint bouquet
INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a mixing glass or shaker, combine the fresh mint leaves, lime juice, and agave nectar.
* Muddle the mint gently to bruise the leaves and release their aromatic oils without tearing them into small pieces.
* Pour in the peach puree and the cannabis tincture (20mg total).
* Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the tincture is completely emulsified into the fruit base.
* Fill two highball glasses with fresh ice cubes.
* Strain the peach and mint base evenly between the two glasses.
* Top each glass with the chilled sparkling mineral water.
* Use a long bar spoon to give a quick, gentle stir from the bottom up to integrate the flavors without losing the bubbles.
* Garnish each glass with a fresh peach wedge and a large sprig of mint.
CHEF’S TIPS:
Freshness first: Using fresh peach puree provides a much richer texture and flavor than store-bought juice.
Mint technique: To get the best aroma, slap the mint bouquet against the back of your hand before placing it in the glass as a garnish.
Strain for clarity: If you prefer a lighter, clearer drink, use a fine-mesh strainer when pouring the peach base into the glasses to remove any pulp or mint fragments.
Consistency: Always stir the base liquid and tincture well before adding the sparkling water to ensure an even 10mg dose per glass.
Zero sugar: Replace agave with a liquid stevia or monk fruit sweetener and use a zero-calorie sparkling water.
Serve ice-cold in a bright, sunny setting for a truly sophisticated experience. Enjoy the Rickey responsibly 🍑🌿
