How To Make A Liquid Marijuanas Shot

To make a strong liquid marijuana shot, cannabis is infused into a small amount of liquid. This is a basic liquid marijuana shot recipe:

Ingredients

Cannabis tincture or vodka/rum
Optional flavored syrup or juice
Instructions:

Select your cannabis-infused alcohol

You can buy cannabis-infused booze or manufacture your own by infusing vodka or rum. If producing your own, decarboxylate your cannabis (bake it at a low temperature to activate the THC) and steep it in alcohol for a few weeks, shaking the bottle periodically.

Measure ingredients

The THC content of your cannabis tincture or infused alcohol will determine the potency of your shot. Use the right amount of cannabis tincture or infused alcohol per shot.

Add flavored syrup or juice

To hide the cannabis taste, mix the tincture or infused alcohol with flavored syrup or juice. Citrus or berry flavors enhance cannabis' herbal taste.

Shake or stir

Mix cannabis tincture or infused alcohol with flavored syrup or juice in a shot glass. To incorporate, whisk or shake the mixture with a spoon.

Serve cold

Serving the liquid marijuana shot cold improves taste. Try freezing the shot glass or adding ice cubes to the concoction before serving.

Enjoy responsibly

Drink liquid marijuana shots sensibly, especially if you don't know your tolerance. Take a modest dose and wait to experience the effects before taking more. Never drink or operate heavy machinery while high on cannabis.

Store well

To maintain potency, store leftover cannabis tincture or infused alcohol in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight. Label everything clearly and keep it away from kids and pets.
