CANNABIS TOMATO WATER MARTINI 🍅🍸
An ultra-refined, crystalline, and cannabis-infused savory cocktail. This recipe uses the pure, concentrated essence of tomato through clarification, paired with the gentle acidity of verjus. Enhanced by the herbal snap of basil and infused with cannabis elixir, it is a clean, sophisticated, and minimalist take on a garden martini.
RECIPE INFO:
Category: Beverage / Martini
Difficulty: Medium (requires prep)
Prep Time: 15 minutes (plus overnight for tomato water)
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 1
THC per serving: Approximately 10mg THC per serving
TERPENE PAIRING:
Best paired with strains high in Myrcene or Alpha-Pinene. Myrcene mirrors the savory, "umami" depth of the tomato, while Pinene elevates the fresh, sharp herbal notes of the basil tincture.

Each serving contains approximately 10mg THC. This is a moderate dose. Adjust based on your personal tolerance and the potency of your elixir.
PLEASE CONSUME RESPONSIBLY AND START LOW, GO SLOW!
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Effects may take 30-90 minutes to onset. Wait at least 2 hours before considering additional consumption. Do not drive or operate machinery.
INGREDIENTS:
* 10mg THC total cannabis elixir
* 3 oz Clarified tomato water (recipe in tips)
* 1 oz White verjus (the juice of unripened grapes)
* 2 drops Basil tincture (non-cannabis)
* A pinch of fleur de sel
* Large ice cubes for stirring
* Garnish: A single small basil leaf or a frozen cherry tomato
INSTRUCTIONS:
* Place a martini glass or coupe in the freezer to chill for at least 10 minutes.
* In a mixing glass, combine the chilled clarified tomato water and the white verjus.
* Add the cannabis elixir (10mg).
* Add the 2 drops of basil tincture and a tiny pinch of fleur de sel.
* Fill the mixing glass with large ice cubes.
* Stir gently but steadily for 45-60 seconds. This is a "spirit-forward" style drink; you want it ice cold without too much aeration.
* Strain the mixture into your chilled glass. The liquid should be crystal clear.
* Garnish with a single, small basil leaf floated on the surface or a skewered frozen tomato.
CHEF TIPS:
Tomato Water Clarification: Pulse 4 large ripe tomatoes in a blender with a pinch of salt. Pour the mash into a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a bowl. Let it drip in the fridge overnight. The liquid that collects is clear "tomato water" with intense flavor.
Verjus: Verjus provides a softer, more complex acidity than lemon juice. If you cannot find it, a very high-quality white balsamic vinegar (diluted) can work as a substitute.
Basil Tincture: You can make a quick version by macerating fresh basil in a small amount of glycerin or a non-alcoholic bitter base for 24 hours.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Cannabis Tomato Water Martini responsibly 🍅🍸
