Warren Bobrow, ‘The Cocktail Whisperer,’ Shares A Mexican Canna-Punch Recipe For Your Month Of May

Warren Bobrow, 'The Cocktail Whisperer,' Shares A Mexican Canna-Punch Recipe For Your Month Of May

By The Fresh Toast‘s Warren Bobrow, provided exclusively to Benzinga Cannabis.

Because the flavor of this craft cocktail has everything to do with the buzz, I want to make sure that the person who enjoys this drink is filled with reverence for the holiday that they call Cinco de Mayo.

I think the holiday of Cinco de Mayo is more of a good excuse to get happy than the actual meaning of the day — as far as I know it’s the Mexican Independence Day — but for all intents and purposes, its Tequila & Weed Day for me.

And the way that I think involves infusions — not tinctures or oils, or dare I say those things they are putting in cocktails called CBD drops. Hemp is what that is. Not at all what I work with, so please don’t expect it.

It’s so important to draw attention to the decarb step when making infused spirits with cannabis. The decarb step is heating the cannabis in an oven or, in my case, I use the Ardent decarb machine. Never have I burned a batch! It’s foolproof, unlike my toaster-oven that fluctuates 20-30 degrees according to my commercial grade oven thermometer.

WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE XR

With the yearly Four-Twenty Holiday firmly in my rear view mirror, I’m pretty sure that I missed out on all the celebrations. There were no celebrations in this part of Western New Jersey and I hope that whatever celebration you did, wherever you are in the universe, was muted. No one said that you should not have a raucous sesh, just be mindful of the broader world outside your home. Cannabis of this quality helps me not worry quite so much.

Caramel Apple Gourmet Cannabis: A Golden State: Tasting Notes For April 2020

My taste buds have become much more acute lately. Maybe it’s all the humidity that envelops the air with the latest soaking rain that continues to pour down. There is a sudden alacrity in the flavors of high-end cannabis when the humidity is just right outside. I find that when I’m in a place like Las Vegas, cannabis tastes dry and uninteresting, that’s not to say that all Vegas cannabis is dry, just like Denver in that respect, my nose can really detect the difference.

I first met Witt Rabon while judging the Connoisseur Cup of Cannabis, held in Denver, Colorado. Not only did he bring a smile into the room when he walked in, because everyone loves Witt, I can honestly say that he towered over everyone in the super tall ceilinged room. When he sits down in front of you, at least myself at five/nine and a half; I had to stand up to see him eye to eye. Witt smiles when he speaks, thus he commands your attention immediately, his candor and kindness are the basis of his passion, what he is doing in life, his path. I found by listening that when Witt speaks, his own unique form of verbal poetry flows out. He is peaceful inside and well spoken. Witt has amazing stories to tell about a multitude of topics and the time that you take to listen to his stories, deep memories are made. I may have a certain level of knowing, but Witt is so tuned in to his unique life, he’s seen things that I can only dream about seeing in my life.

It’s Sonder Time: Highest Quality Cannabis Oil Cartridges

Sonder 510 Oil cart and battery
Sonder Time! 
WARREN BOBROW: YES, I SHOT THIS WITH MY IPHONE!

Yes, their elegant vapor tastes like freshly picked blueberries, not the kind that have spent their lives floating in a can, but the wild ones, hand-picked in Maine. Those little tiny blueberries, sharp, acerbic and briefly sour against my tongue are what I’m describing. That’s what the delicious cannabis vapor from Sonder tastes like to me. Each puff comes smoothly nappied with tiny shavings of cedar and thick pools of lemon curd followed by dense shovelfuls of richly textured loam.

I had the rare chance to interview Josh Genderson, CEO of Holistic Industries. Since starting the company in 2011, Josh has grown Holistic into a national medical and consumer goods company, a cultivation and extraction network, and a retail dispensary chain. Josh launched Holistic based on the expertise he gained serving as President of Schneider’s of Capitol Hill, the Gendersons’ fourth-generation, family-owned liquor store, that is a staple in Washington, D.C. Today, Holistic Industries is one of the largest private multi-state operators (MSO) in cannabis and runs fully vertical operations (from seed to sale) in California, Maryland, D.C., Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Michigan, and soon Missouri.
