SPICED CRANBERRY & CLOVE TAVERN COOLER 🍒🔥

A sharp, sophisticated, and deeply aromatic cooler that highlights the bracing tartness of winter cranberries. The addition of cloves and a hint of citrus creates a drink that feels both festive and restorative, perfect for sipping slowly in a dimly lit tavern corner.

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 Pinene or Limonene. Pinene complements the woodsy depth of the cloves and the forest-like aroma of the cranberry, while Limonene boosts the bright citrus notes of the juice.

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

 * 4 oz unsweetened cranberry juice

 * 1/2 oz clove-infused simple syrup (see Chef Tips) or plain simple syrup

 * 1/2 oz fresh lime juice

 * 3 oz sparkling mineral water

 * Fresh ice

 * Garnish: A sprig of fresh rosemary and three frozen cranberries

INSTRUCTIONS:

 * Fill a heavy tavern glass or highball glass with fresh ice.

 * Pour in the cranberry juice, lime juice, and clove-infused syrup.

 * Add the cannabis tincture (10mg).

 * Stir well with a long spoon to ensure the tincture is fully incorporated.

 * Top with sparkling mineral water.

 * Give it one final gentle stir to combine without losing the carbonation.

 * Garnish with a rosemary sprig and frozen cranberries.

CHEF TIPS:

The Clove Syrup: To make your own, simmer equal parts water and sugar with 5-6 whole cloves for 10 minutes, then let cool and strain.

The Juice: Use 100% pure unsweetened cranberry juice for a tart, authentic tavern "bite." If using a sweetened cranberry cocktail, omit the extra simple syrup.

The Chill: Use frozen cranberries as a garnish—they act like tiny ice cubes and keep the drink cold without diluting the flavor.

Serve immediately. Enjoy the Spiced Cranberry & Clove Tavern Cooler responsibly 🍒🔥
