Section: How to Make Cannabitter

Making cannabitter is a fun and easy way to infuse your cocktails with a little bit of cannabis. This tasty concoction is perfect for those who love a good cocktail and enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Here’s how you can make your own cannabitter at home:

1. Gather Your Ingredients
To make cannabitter, you’ll need a few key ingredients. You’ll need your choice of cannabis strain, high-proof alcohol (such as Everclear), and some herbs and spices (such as gentian root, wormwood, and cardamom).

2. Choose Your Strain
Choosing the right cannabis strain is important for making cannabitter. You’ll want to choose a strain that has the right flavor and potency. Some good strains to use for cannabitter include OG Kush, Blue Dream, and Pineapple Express.

3. Decarboxylation
To get the most out of your cannabis, you’ll need to decarboxylate it. This process involves heating your cannabis in the oven to activate the THC. To decarboxylate your cannabis, grind it up and spread it out on a baking sheet. Bake it at 240°F for 30-40 minutes.

4. Infusing the Alcohol
To infuse the alcohol with cannabis, you’ll need to mix the decarboxylated cannabis with high-proof alcohol. Combine one ounce of cannabis with one liter of Everclear in a large glass jar. Let it sit for about a week, shaking the jar daily.

5. Mixing in Herbs and Spices
After a week, strain out the cannabis and add your herbs and spices. This will give your cannabitter its unique flavor. Some common herbs and spices to use include gentian root, wormwood, and cardamom.

6. Aging the Mixture
Once you’ve added your herbs and spices, let the mixture age for a few more days. This will allow the flavors to meld together and create a smooth, delicious taste.

7. Straining
After the mixture has aged, strain it through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer. This will remove any sediment and ensure your cannabitter is smooth and clear.

8. Diluting
Now that your cannabitter is ready, you’ll need to dilute it before using it in cocktails. Dilute it with water to achieve your desired strength.

9. Using It in Cocktails
Cannabitter can be used in all kinds of cocktails. Try adding it to a Negroni, an Old Fashioned, or a Manhattan. Experiment with different flavor combinations and find your favorite mixtures.

10. Enjoy!
Now that you’ve made your own cannabitter, it’s time to enjoy it! Sit back, relax, and sip on your delicious cannabis-infused cocktails. Just remember to consume responsibly and never drink and drive.
