Any of these cocktails can also be made without alcohol. They can also be made without cannabis simple syrup if you’re in the mood for a virgin drink. We highly recommend getting creative and playing around with the ingredients.

However, it’s probably best not to add more than two ounces of cannabis simple syrup to any drink. That’s especially true if you’re new to edibles or not sure of your tolerance level.

You can also take just about any cocktail or mixed drink recipe that uses simple syrup and replace it with a cannabis-infused variation. Either way, if you’re going to make cannabis cocktails, you have to make cannabis simple syrup first.

Once you have cooked up a batch of cannabis simple syrup, you’re all set. Good cannabis syrup is the key to killer THC cocktails.
