Hemp-Infused Base

Sparkle & Finish

Method

Hemp-Infused Base

  1. 1

    Measure and chill

    Measure 2 oz hemp-infused vodka, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice and 0.5 oz honey syrup. Keep ingredients cold before building the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Add the hemp-infused vodka, lime juice and honey syrup to a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice.

  3. 3

    Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is frosty and well chilled. This chills and dilutes the hemp base, integrating flavors.

Citrus & Spice

  1. 4

    Add 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.5 oz fresh orange juice and 0.25 oz ginger syrup to the shaker with the hemp base.

  2. 5

    Add 2 dashes of angostura bitters. Gently shake again 6–8 seconds to marry the citrus and spice without over-diluting.

Sparkle & Finish

  1. 6

    Fill a highball or Collins glass with about 1 cup crushed ice.

  2. 7

    Double-strain the shaken mixture over the crushed ice to remove small ice shards and pulp. Leave about 1/2 inch headspace.

  3. 8

    Top with 2 oz chilled club soda. Gently stir once or twice with a bar spoon to integrate soda without flattening the fizz.

  4. 9

    Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel or twist. Express the lime twist over the drink before dropping it in for aroma.

  5. 10

    Serve immediately with a straw. Advise guests about hemp infusion and estimated potency per serving.
