Infused with a cannabis tincture, it’s a fun, festive way to cast a spell of relaxation. Remember to enjoy responsibly and keep this magical elixir away from children.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups apple cider (freshly pressed or store-bought)
- 2 cups cranberry juice (100% juice for natural tartness)
- 1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)
- 1-2 drops of cannabis tincture per serving (adjust based on desired dosage)
- Optional sweetener (such as honey or agave syrup) for added sweetness
- Cinnamon sticks, apple slices, and star anise for garnish
- Ice cubes (consider using decorative molds, like bats or skulls, for extra Halloween flair)
Optional Add-Ons:
- 1 cup sparkling water or ginger ale for a fizzy twist
- A splash of pomegranate juice for extra tartness and a darker, blood-like hue
Instructions:
- Prepare the Punch:
- In a large punch bowl, combine the apple cider, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Stir well to blend the flavors.For a touch of sweetness, taste the mixture and add a sweetener of your choice, if desired. Stir again to ensure the sweetener is fully dissolved.
- Add a Little Sparkle:
- If you prefer a fizzy punch, gently stir in 1 cup of sparkling water or ginger ale. This adds a delightful effervescence to the brew.
- Infuse with Magic:
- When serving, add 1-2 drops of cannabis tincture to each glass (the amount should be adjusted according to individual tolerance and desired effects). Stir the punch lightly after adding the tincture to ensure even distribution.
- For a more even infusion, you can pre-mix the tincture into the entire punch, but be cautious with dosage to maintain consistent potency in each glass.
- Serve Over Ice:
- Fill each glass with ice. Decorative Halloween-themed ice molds can add a fun, spooky touch.
- Pour the punch over the ice, leaving room at the top for garnish.
- Garnish and Present:
- Add a cinnamon stick, a few apple slices, and a star anise to each glass for a festive appearance. You can also rim the glasses with cinnamon sugar for an extra touch of flavor and flair.
- For an eerie effect, add a few drops of red food coloring to one of the apple slices and place it on top to create a “bloody” look.
- Optional Halloween Effects:
- For a foggy, mystical effect, place dry ice in a separate bowl under the punch bowl (do not put dry ice directly in the drink to avoid ingestion risks). The dry ice will create a smoky effect around the punch, adding to the Halloween ambiance.
Dosage Tips:
- Always consider your guests’ tolerance levels. Start with a lower dosage (1 drop per serving) and allow at least 30-45 minutes for effects to kick in before offering a second round.
- Clearly label the punch as infused and advise guests to consume responsibly.
Storage:
- If you have any leftover punch, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Be sure to clearly label it as cannabis-infused and keep it out of reach of children.
This Witch’s Brew Infused Punch is sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering, combining seasonal flavors with a magical cannabis twist!
