What is a cannabis Tom Collins mocktail?

A THC-infused Tom Collins mocktail is a refreshing twist on the classic cocktail without the gin. Our version combines the bright, citrusy flavors of lemon and lime with sweet simple syrup, soda water, and fresh herbs. The absence of alcohol allows the natural flavors of the drink to shine. 

Here’s what we love about this ultimate party juice:

• The bright, tart lemon and lime provide the signature Tom Collins flavor, while the sweet simple syrup balances out those crisp, tart citrus.
• Our lighter, toxin-free version retains the crisp, cooling essence of the original Tom Collins. The mocktail format accommodates those avoiding alcohol while socializing. 
• Herbaceous notes and lively citrus flavors make this cannabis Tom Collins mocktail a flavorful alcohol-free option perfect for parties or relaxation.
• A  pitcher of our cannabis Tom Collins makes entertaining and parties a breeze.

This mocktail is the ideal choice for you if you’re tired of feeling exhausted and dehydrated after a night of drinking. Instead of intoxication, it offers an uplifting experience. Our THC beverages are mellow and have no side effects. Unlike booze, you won’t feel heavy—no next-day migraines, nausea, dehydration, or blackouts. 

That’s why we infuse this timeless sipper with low doses of cannabis. Did we mention our liquid Buzz drops also contain cannabidiol (CBD)? 

Our low-dose cannabis infusion contains only 2.2 mg of Delta 9 THC and 2.9 mg of CBD per full dropper. These small amounts of cannabis produce mildly euphoric feelings without overwhelming your senses and gluing you to the couch. That’s not what we want from our cannabis cocktail.

How do I make a cannabis-infused Tom Collins drink?

The Tom Collins is a gin-based cocktail that has been popular since the 1800s. Since we said no to booze and its nasty side effects, our virgin Tom Collins will contain only a few milligrams of THC and CBD to give you a mellow buzz without overwhelming your senses. 

With just a few easy steps, you'll learn how to make a homemade cannabis Tom Collins drink to enjoy anytime. Here’s what you need to make it:

• Juice of one lemon
• ½ ounce of simple syrup
• 2 ounces of water
• Ice 
• One dropper full Buzz drops
• Garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Fill your glass with ice. 
2. Add the simple syrup, lemon juice, and water.
3. Add a dropper of Buzz drops. 
4. Stir vigorously until thoroughly combined.
5. Garnish with lemon wedges. 
6. Sip slowly and enjoy.

We know you’re going to love this refreshing mocktail, but if you’re in the mood for something creamier, how about a blood orange and cream THC drink? It blends the luscious blood orange with frothy coconut milk, all infused with low doses of cannabis.

Elevate your non-alcoholic Tom Collins buzztail

This recipe is not set in stone. You’re most welcome to experiment with flavors and ingredients until you find the one that delights your palate the most. The options are virtually limitless, so don't be afraid to get creative.

Here are some tips and tricks for the ultimate THC Tom Collins drink:

1. Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best taste. A lemon wheel in the shaker can infuse the drink with additional citrusy flavors.
2. Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of simple syrup used in the recipe. Instead of simple syrup, you can use simple sugar, just make sure you stir long enough for the crystals to dissolve. (If you’re making this beloved cocktail ahead of time, you can use hot water to dissolve the sugar in, let that cool, and then make your drinks.)
3. Make sure your glass is adequately chilled and filled with plenty of ice for a refreshing drink.
4. Use any type of glassware you feel like. A highball glass is always a good choice, but any other type of tall glass will do.
5. Prepare the mocktail in a cocktail shaker. This allows you to shake the heck out of it and really combine the ingredients before serving your refreshing cocktail.
6. Garnishes are completely optional. They do give a nice visual appeal to your drink, though. A lemon slice and cocktail cherry not only add to the visual appeal but also contribute to the overall flavor profile of the mocktail. Add fresh mint or basil to give your Tom Collins a more sophisticated look.
7. Top your cocktail with soda water or tonic water. This gives it a bubbly and refreshing finish.

Apart from being a great alcohol substitute, many people microdose cannabis to relieve anxiety, because low-dose THC can soothe your system—unlike higher amounts which can cause the opposite effect.

Our cannabis mixers are great, but our THC gummies are also waiting to delight your palate and melt away your stress. Pop one of our melon-infused Bliss gummies for the perfect bite-sized treat to de-stress.

Why are THC drinks better than alcohol?

Alcohol is one of the unhealthiest and riskiest ways to have fun. The reasons why you should stop with the booze and start with cannabis-infused mocktails are too many to name—but we’ll try. 

1. You can feel the effects of THC beverages within 20 minutes of consumption. Sure, booze can get you pleasantly tipsy in the same amount of time, but alcoholic beverages are nowhere near the efficacy, safety, or elegance of a homemade THC drink. 
2. The effects of THC drinks can last up to six hours, which is longer than an alcohol buzz. This means that THC provides more enjoyment and relaxation time.
3. It typically takes one hour for the body to metabolize one drink, but several hours to fully metabolize multiple drinks. This longer metabolization leads to an unpleasant hangover with symptoms such as a headache, nausea, dry mouth, and fatigue. THC wears off more smoothly than alcohol, without causing negative hangover side effects.
4. Speaking of hangovers and unpleasant symptoms, the effects of THC drinks are much more manageable because of the lower, controlled dosing. Two milligrams of THC and nearly three milligrams of CBD in our liquid Buzz drops are strong enough to provide relief or relaxation but gentle enough to keep you functional and clear-headed. 

The stronger argument for replacing alcohol is that frequent and excessive alcohol intake often leads to alcoholism. Because of its therapeutic effects, microdosing cannabis may help alcoholism, alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and reduce cravings.
