PEATED PINEAPPLE FIZZ 🍍💨
A tropical, high-contrast, and cannabis-infused refresher that bridges the gap between island sweetness and Islay-inspired smoke. This fizz utilizes the intense aroma of peat (or smoked salt) to ground the bright, acidic sugars of pineapple. Infused with cannabis tincture and topped with soda, it is a complex, effervescent mocktail with a long, smoky finish.
RECIPE INFO:

Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes

THC per serving: Approximately 10mg THC per serving
TERPENE PAIRING:
Best paired with strains high in Myrcene or Limonene. Myrcene reinforces the tropical ripeness of the pineapple, while Limonene provides a bright citrus bridge between the sweet fruit and the heavy, earthy smoke of the peat.

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
* 4 oz fresh pineapple juice (chilled)
* 1 drop non-alcoholic peated essence (or a generous pinch of smoked sea salt)
* 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
* 3-4 oz chilled soda water
* Fresh ice
* Garnish: A charred pineapple wedge and a sprig of fresh mint
INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine the fresh pineapple juice, lime juice, and the cannabis tincture (10mg).
* Add the drop of peated essence or the pinch of smoked salt.
* Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds to chill and aerate the pineapple juice (this creates a natural frothy head).
* Strain into a tall Collins glass filled with fresh ice.
* Top with the chilled soda water and stir gently with a long spoon to lift the flavors.
* Garnish with a pineapple wedge (lightly charred with a torch if possible) and a slapped mint sprig for aromatic contrast.
CHEF TIPS:
The Peat: Peated essence is extremely potent. Use exactly one drop to start; you want the aroma of a campfire on a beach, not the taste of charcoal.
Pineapple Quality: Use fresh-pressed pineapple juice if possible. The natural proteins in fresh juice create a much better "fizz" and foam than canned versions.
The Salt Alternative: If using smoked salt instead of peat essence, use a high-quality Hickory or Alderwood smoked salt to maintain the "BBQ" smoke profile.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Peated Pineapple Fizz responsibly 🍍💨
