Cannabis-Infused "Royal Red Robin Burger" Red Robin Knockoff with Infused Tavern Sauce & Garlic Aioli

Cannabis-Infused "Royal Red Robin Burger" Red Robin Knockoff with Infused Tavern Sauce & Garlic Aioli

A Note on Dosing: This recipe makes 2 massive Royal Red Robin Burgers. We calculate based on a 15% THC flower. You must calculate your own dose based on your cannabis potency. This is a macro dose for experienced consumers. Know your tolerance. Start with half a burger.

Approximate Dose (using 2g of 15% THC flower): ~75mg THC per burger (split between Tavern Sauce and Garlic Aioli). This is an extremely high dose. Adjust your cannabis amount to 0.5g for a more moderate 18mg per burger, 1g for ~37mg, or 1.5g for ~55mg.

Terpene Pairing Suggestion: Choose a Caryophyllene and Limonene-dominant strain. Caryophyllene's peppery spice will amplify the smoky bacon and the rich beef, while Limonene's bright citrus will complement the fried egg and the tangy Tavern Sauce. This combination creates an uplifting yet deeply satisfying experience perfect for Red Robin's iconic burger .
