Infused Recipe: King’s Road Toastini

It’s getting towards my favorite cocktailian time of the year. We’ve all been under a great deal of stress, me included. Isn’t it time to relax a little bit and take a break?

No one is saying you should drink alcohol to remove your problems. That’s really not the point with cannabis. For starters, I use it for a very specific set of reasons. Some medical and some recreational. It’s that balance in life that makes cannabis my favorite way to relax my mind and get to the art of writing about cannabis.

See? I’m feeling better already. Probably because my morning “wake-and-bake” with a puff or two from holistic, Oregon horticulturist named Green Bodhi has gotten me pretty lit. IG: @GreenBodhi

I want to share that creativity with others.

The fall weather evokes a certain sense of being in a wonderfully languid, pre-sleep mode for weeks on end. The days turn shorter and the night seems to drag into hours rather than mere minutes. The air is chillier too and I want to drink things that warm me up inside before I slip into a dream-state. Cannabis, when infused into things like hot tea and woven with a certain measure of artisan rum – like the ultra-authentic rum brand named Foursquare then sweetened to taste with a touch of homemade simple syrup – (I’m using sugar cane juice, it’s just better for you, no white sugar allowed!)

Then you have something in your grasp that will set your mind to rest and warm your body deeply.

My cocktail – or mocktail should you want it alcohol free – just make an infused syrup instead of a spirit, is pretty easy to make. The hardest part is the cannabis infused dark rum, which – if you have a LEVO2 can do the job of infusion quite easily at no more than 130 degrees F for three hours. Otherwise use the old-fashioned method of using your trusty electric hot plate (never gas stove), double boiler and your spirit of choice. Do the infusion in a well-ventilated place and have a fan running on your worksite at all times. Alcohol fumes run along the floor and you don’t see them, don’t be that person who ignites them by using a gas stove.

Prep:

Preheat a mug with boiling water, pour out
Add the butter and the cannabis infused rum
Then top with the strong hot tea or if out at sea in a gale, merely boiling water and lemon juice for scurvy busting grog that possesses a potently bone-warming demeanor…

Bloody Good Remedy | Infused

Post author By Warren_Bobrow
Post date December 18, 2020

One of my favorite ways to restart the morning after a rambunctious evening is with the cocktail, or mocktail named the Bloody Caesar. In the Northern climes up in Canada they prepare their classic “Bloody Marys” with Clamato juice instead of using just plain tomato juice. The distinct touch of oceanic saline from the clam juice is precisely what is needed in my opinion, to offset the sweet and sometimes spicy elements of the tomato juice.

Besides, everyone has their own way to make a Bloody Mary. Mine is different because of the utter simplicity in the ingredient list. You can also add vodka, gin, white rum, mezcal or even a dose of tequila to your Bloody Good Remedy if desired. It won’t hurt you, unless you add too much. The act of adding alcohol to THC in a craft cocktail is called a cross-fade. The buzz is unique and quite memorable. Add a healthy dropper of cannabis tincture to the libation and enjoy the results. Be sure to drink all your tomato or Clamato juice, because good health comes sip, by sip.

Bloody Good Remedy:

From Cannabis Cocktails, Mocktails and Tonics.

Ingredients (for 2 persons):

6 oz. Store Bought Clamato Juice or your favorite Bloody Mary Mix in a bottle
60mg Cannabis Tincture of your choice – that makes approximately two 30mg drinks (pretty strong)
Assorted spices, freshly scraped horseradish, Hot Pepper Sauce from Portugal.
1 oz. Alcohol of your choice, gin, vodka, rum, mezcal, or tequila. All are worthy and potent
Garnishes as outlandish as your oft-dry sense of humor…. (whole fried chicken, an entire tomato pie (sort of like a pizza) cut up into slices on skewers in the top of the drink…, an entire head of celery with an unopened jar of Kalamata olives on the side….)
Lemon wedges (against Scurvy)
Fee Brothers Lemon Bitters

Prep:

Fill a Boston Shaker (tins) ¾ with ice
Add the liquor and the cannabis tincture
Add the Clamato or Bloody Mary Mix
Add whatever spices you desire
Cap and shake hard for fifteen seconds or so
Pour into two pre-chilled Collins glasses filled with fresh ice that doesn’t smell like the fridge
Squeeze lemon wedges over the top
Dot with the Fee Brothers Lemon Bitters
Garnish as you desire
Serve

Vietnamese Iced Chicory Coffee | Infused

Post author By Warren_Bobrow
Post date December 16, 2020

From Cannabis Cactus!!

If you’ve ever been to a Vietnamese restaurant you may have enjoyed a Vietnamese Iced Chicory Coffee. This salubrious hand-held sipper is the perfect way to ease yourself into your day. The creamy sweet richness of the condensed milk acts as a foil against the bitter qualities of the chicory coffee. But first, why use chicory coffee? Chicory is a taproot from the dandelion family. It’s dried, roasted and ground very much like coffee but at a much lower price-point. Also, Chicory doesn’t contain any caffeine, so there is a small health benefit in using this type of liquid in your soon to be cannabis infused drink. I just like the flavor of it, slightly nutty in the mouth, woodsy, rich and tactile against the palate. Mixing a portion of chicory coffee with your usual morning cup of regular coffee beverage is a nice change of pace for your stomach. The combination just tastes delicious especially when served over ice and drizzled THC infused condensed milk. As an added bonus you can bring a portion of the THC infused condensed milk with you and dose your own coffee beverages as you like and as strong as you desire!

I use the Levo2 for my condensed milk infusion. First of all, the Levo2, unlike other magical-type machines on the market, decarbs your flowers efficiently and peacefully. If you are still using your oven to decarb your herbs, the process is flawed from the get/go. Your oven cycles in temperature widely, making for an inefficient decarb. Not precise enough for my needs, or yours. I decarb my flowers for about an hour at 240 degrees Fahrenheit. Then I add one cup of room temperature condensed milk to the vessel and set the timer for three hours at 160 degrees, a slight bubble-simmer if you are doing this in a double-boiler on the stove.

Let your condensed milk cool completely and keep in a closed container in the fridge for about a week.

It’s a pivotal week for the cannabis industry and we hope everyone plans on exercising their right to vote tomorrow. In addition to a tense presidential race, we have five states with ballot initiatives to legalize medical or adult-use cannabis in 2020. We’re looking at you New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, Montana, and Mississippi.

Outside of the political chaos we’re undoubtedly about to witness, it’s also an exciting week because it marks the launch of Klaus, a new line of cannabis beverages from the mind of Warren Bobrow. Commonly referred to as “The Cocktail Whisperer,” Warren is a former Forbes columnist and author of more recipe books than you can count on one hand, including Cannabis Cocktails, Mocktails & Tonics. Warren has always been a big supporter of BudsFeed, and we were excited to see Klaus take the #1 spot in this week’s Top 5 Seeds. Klaus might just be what the doctor ordered to help with the aforementioned political chaos.
