Get Elevated With 5 Mocktails Featuring Cannabis-Infused Sodas

Mixed drinks are both creative and delicious, and they can also be the latest addition to a cannabis enthusiast’s elevated repertoire.

Canna-cocktails that will delight your senses as well as your taste buds.

Note: The following recipes can and should be modified to suit personal dosing needs. If you need to add less cannabis infused drink than what the recipe calls for, substitute with a similar flavored seltzer or plain seltzer water.
