3 min read

Hot summer days call for something cold, colourful and easy to sip. Cannabis beverages can be enjoyed straight from the can, but they also make a great foundation for refreshing alcohol-free recipes made with fruit, citrus and familiar seasonal flavours.

These two recipes offer different ways to build a summer drink at home. The first transforms TeaPot Rosin Infused Lemon Black Tea into a fruit-forward iced tea, while the second uses MOD THC:CBD Drops to create an icy, margarita-inspired Cannarita.

Fresh Fruit Lemon Black Tea Cooler

 

TeaPot Rosin Infused Lemon Black Tea is made with real black tea and natural lemon flavour. Each 355 mL can contains 10 mg of THC, giving you a convenient base for a bright and refreshing summer cooler.

Adding sliced fruit, herbs and sparkling water stretches the drink into multiple servings while introducing fresh flavour and texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 chilled can of TeaPot Rosin Infused Lemon Black Tea
  • ½ cup sliced peaches, strawberries or raspberries
  • 3 thin lemon rounds
  • A small handful of fresh mint
  • ½ cup plain or citrus sparkling water
  • Ice
  • Optional: a small amount of honey or simple syrup

Directions

  1. Place the sliced fruit, lemon and mint in a small pitcher or mixing glass.
  2. Gently press the ingredients with a spoon to release some of the fruit juice and mint aroma.
  3. Add a generous amount of ice.
  4. Pour in the TeaPot Lemon Black Tea.
  5. Top with sparkling water and stir well.
  6. Divide evenly between glasses and finish with fresh fruit or a sprig of mint.

Approximate potency

The full TeaPot can contains 10 mg of THC.

Dividing the recipe equally between two glasses creates servings of approximately 5 mg of THC each. For smaller portions, divide the mixture between four glasses and add additional sparkling water as needed.

Seasonal flavour combinations

This recipe is easy to adjust based on the fruit you have available. Try peach and basil for a soft, aromatic combination, strawberry and mint for a familiar summer flavour, or raspberry and extra lemon for a slightly more tart finish.

Frozen Cannarita Cannabis Mocktail

A Cannarita brings together the lime, salt and slushy texture of a frozen margarita without using alcohol. Frozen mango or pineapple gives the drink body and natural sweetness, while MOD THC:CBD Drops let you add a measured amount to a single serving.

The MOD product label states that two drops provide approximately 1 mg of THC and 1 mg of CBD.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen mango or pineapple
  • ¾ cup chilled coconut water or lime-flavoured sparkling water
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon agave syrup
  • A small pinch of salt
  • 2 drops of MOD THC:CBD Drops
  • Up to ½ cup of ice

For the glass:

  • 1 lime wedge
  • Salt or chili-lime seasoning

Directions

  1. Rub a lime wedge around the edge of the glass.
  2. Dip the rim into salt or chili-lime seasoning.
  3. Add the frozen fruit, coconut water, lime juice, agave, salt and ice to a blender.
  4. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth, frozen consistency.
  5. Add two MOD drops and blend for a few more seconds.
  6. Pour the Cannarita into the prepared glass and garnish with lime.

Approximate potency

When prepared with two MOD drops, the finished drink contains approximately 1 mg of THC and 1 mg of CBD.

Measure the drops carefully and refer to the product packaging before adjusting the amount. The potency will increase as additional drops are added.

Cannarita variations

For a lighter and more refreshing version, replace the mango with frozen watermelon. Pineapple and orange juice create a sweeter tropical variation, while frozen strawberries and lime make a bright, berry-forward option.

Tips for Preparing Cannabis Drinks

Stir or blend each recipe thoroughly to help distribute the infused product evenly. When making a drink with multiple servings, measure each portion carefully rather than estimating.

Infused beverages should also be clearly identified and kept separate from ordinary drinks. Consider preparing a non-infused version for guests who do not consume cannabis.

Cannabis can affect people differently. Begin with a lower amount, allow time for the effects to develop and avoid consuming more too quickly. Do not drive after consuming cannabis, and store all cannabis products away from children and pets.
