Ingredients & Substitutions
Maple syrup: Feel free to use another sweetener instead of maple syrup. Honey, simple syrup, or any other liquid sweetener will work with this recipe. I do recommend sticking with maple syrup because it provides that robust maple taste that pairs well with the taste of non-alcoholic bourbon and orange bitters.
Alternative Cannabis Infusion Methods
If you can’t make my dissolvable cannabis powder recipe, you can use a cannabis tincture – however this would go against the purpose of the mocktail being alcohol free as cannabis tinctures usually contain alcohol. Unfortunately, I do not have a recipe for cannabis tincture because I do not use them myself or in any of my recipes.
Tips & Tricks
For extra smokiness and depth to the drink, try smoking a wood chip with the mocktail!

Creating cannabis cocktails involves infusing the beverage with cannabis, typically using cannabis-infused tinctures, oils, or other extracts. Here's a general guide on how to make cannabis cocktails:
Choose Your Base: Start with a non-alcoholic base for your cannabis cocktail, such as a mocktail mix, juice, or soda.
Select a Cannabis Extract: Decide on the type of cannabis extract you want to use. This can include THC or CBD tinctures, cannabis-infused oils, or other cannabis concentrates.
Dose Carefully: Determine the desired potency of your cannabis cocktail and calculate the appropriate dosage based on the concentration of THC or CBD in your chosen extract. Start with a low dose, especially if you're new to edibles or cannabis-infused beverages.
Mix Thoroughly: Add the calculated amount of cannabis extract to your chosen base and mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of cannabinoids.
Experiment with Flavours: Enhance the flavour profile of your cannabis cocktail by adding complementary ingredients like fresh herbs, fruit slices, or flavoured syrups.
Consider Garnishes: Elevate the presentation of your cannabis cocktail with visually appealing garnishes, such as citrus twists, mint leaves, or edible flowers.
Serve Chilled or Over Ice: Many cannabis cocktails are best enjoyed chilled or over ice. Consider refrigerating your mix before serving.
Educate Your Guests: If you're serving cannabis cocktails at a social gathering, make sure your guests are aware of the presence of cannabis in the beverages. Clearly label the infused drinks and communicate the potential effects and dosage recommendations.
Remember, the key to a successful cannabis cocktail is careful dosing and experimentation with flavours to create a balanced and enjoyable beverage. Always prioritize responsible consumption and consider the preferences and tolerance levels of those partaking in the experience.

Hello! I’m Anna and I’m a cannabis recipe developer and digital content creator with a huge passion for food and the plant. I love creating healthy and delicious cannabis infused recipes as I believe it’s a great way to consume the plant. I’m very lucky to be living in a country like Canada, where cannabis is legalized recreationally and medically.
Outside of making infused recipes, I’m an advocate and educator for the plant, working to end stigmas. I believe that just because you consume the plant, it does not define who you are or your success as an individual. Cannabis consumers come from all walks of life, and their choice behind consumption should be respected.
