Cannabis tinctures are a staple at modern provisioning centers but they are often the most misunderstood. The biggest advantage cannabis tincture has over other forms is that it’s a liquid, which allows for almost limitless possibilities. Tincture is often sugar free, fast-acting, and easy to titrate in small flexible doses. For more information on tincture itself check out our blog, Are Cannabis Tinctures Right for You?
While tincture has many benefits, one of the most common complaints is it’s taste as they are often made from alcohol or MCT oil. While some tinctures may not taste great on their own you can make a great tasting cannabis cocktail with your favorite flavors.
*Chef’s note – Not all tincture is made the same and dosage can vary greatly. For these recipes we’ll be using Proper Tincture which is a total of 190mg per bottle. As the whole tincture has a net weight of 28 grams each, we can use a scale to weigh out one gram of liquid for a total of 6.78mg of THC. For these recipes we’ll use a dose of 3 grams of liquid each for a total of 20.61mg THC per drink. Of course you can make your own cocktails as strong or weak as you’d prefer.
Just remember, the more tincture you add the more intense the flavor. If using oil based tincture, you may want to continue stirring the cocktail between imbibing as the tincture may settle.

Much like our first entry, cranberry juice is the perfect mixer for covering up astringent and intense flavors. Otherwise cranberry juice wouldn’t have made its way into almost every other drink.
