FROSTED JUNIPER & TONIC 🌲🍸

A crisp, botanical tavern mocktail that captures the essence of a frozen winter forest. This drink focuses on the sharp, resinous flavor of juniper berries—the primary botanical in gin—paired with a bright, bracing tonic. It is a clean, sophisticated, and cooling refresher that serves as a perfect palate cleanser between heavy holiday meals.

RECIPE INFO:

Category: Beverage / Botanical

Difficulty: Easy

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Servings: 1

THC per serving: Approximately 10mg THC per serving

TERPENE PAIRING:

Best paired with strains high in Alpha-Pinene or Limonene. Pinene reinforces the woodsy, evergreen scent of the juniper and rosemary, while Limonene brightens the sharp citrus notes of the tonic and lime.

DOSAGE INFORMATION:

Each serving contains approximately 10mg THC. This is a moderate dose. Adjust based on your personal tolerance and the potency of your tincture.

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 tincture

* 5-6 dried juniper berries

* 1/2 oz fresh lime juice

* 1/2 oz simple syrup

* 6 oz premium tonic water (chilled)

* Fresh ice

* Garnish: A sprig of fresh rosemary and a lime wheel

INSTRUCTIONS:

* Place the dried juniper berries in the bottom of a tavern glass and muddle them firmly to crack the skins and release their oils.

* Add the lime juice, simple syrup, and the cannabis tincture (10mg).

* Fill the glass with large ice cubes.

* Top with the chilled tonic water, pouring slowly down the side of the glass to maintain carbonation.

* Give it a very gentle stir to combine the ingredients.

* Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of rosemary.

CHEF TIPS:

The Juniper: If you want a more intense flavor, you can simmer the juniper berries in your simple syrup beforehand to create a juniper-infused syrup.

The Tonic: Since there is no alcohol to hide behind, the quality of the tonic water is paramount. Use a high-end botanical tonic for the best results.

The Frost: To live up to its name, keep your tavern glass in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving to give it a beautiful "frosted" look.

Serve immediately. Enjoy the Frosted Juniper & Tonic responsibly 🌲🍸
