I love the company named Humboldt Apothecary because they have bridged the gap between traditional mixology, my former world in liquor meets the all grown up newest age movement, cannabis. Cannabis has filtered its way into a variety of materials. From non-reactive CBD to fully reactive THC, it’s ironic to me that many of the new “apothecary” products are from long ago. Hence the Humboldt Apothecary. I’d heard about them a couple years ago, primarily because I wrote the book, Apothecary Cocktails back in 2013. It propelled my career in mixology using ingredients more akin to the early apothecary shop. They are authentic and contain the memories of a lifetime of healing. When you had a belly-ache in the early days of our country what did you do? Folk healing was the lay of the land. Herbs, spices and liquors were utilized into potent sipables, known today as cocktails.
