Cocktail No 74 - The Bees Knees Cannabis cocktail (CBD)


A variation on the gin sour, but with a twist - its laced with Cannabis - or Cannabindiol (CBD) to be precise. This the safe form extracted from hemp that doesn't give a high, but its meant to help with all sorts of things. Its apparently the new wonder food supllement that everyone is experimenting with in food and drinks.

Its very sharp as a good sour should be. The honey makes an interesting alternative sweetener to sugar syrup and nicely rounds out the drink. The CBD is subtle adding an almost green tea flavour, which is quite pleasant.

Its quite expensive with the CBD extract costing £4.00 at retail prices.

Recipe

2 parts Birkdale gin
1 part pourable honey
1 part lemon juice
1 ml CBD oil extract (NB go for an extract in alcohol rather than an oil extract as the latter will not mix into the drink)

Shake vigourously on ice to ensure the honey is incorporated and serve in a coupé or Martini glass
