Marijuana

Let’s start off by clearing up the obvious question: is there any actual marijuana in Liquid Marijuana? No, you do not need weed to make liquid marijuana cocktails. What it does contain are sweet flavours and a beautiful shade of cannabis-green colour.

It is a great drink to share with friends when having a fun-time gathering or make a larger batch to really get a party going.

It is really simple to make, so you can get the party started with very little effort at all. Here’s what you need:

  • ½ oz of Apple spiced rum (Captain Morgan’s or similar)
  • ½ oz of Crown
  • ½ oz of Blue Curaçao
  • 2 ½ oz sweet ‘n’ sour mixture
  • 2 ½ oz pineapple juice

Once you’ve assembled your ingredients, you can follow these basic instructions for preparation:

  • Fill a tall glass ¾ full with ice.
  • Pour in your ingredients.
  • Shake vigorously to combine the ingredients.
  • Pour.
  • Enjoy.
  • Repeat

What About Shot Fans?

This is not exactly the most subtle or sophisticated drink in the world; we don’t think James Bond will ever utter the words “Liquid Marijuana; shaken, not stirred”. No, there is one aim with this drink and that is to get you just a little tipsy.

As with the Liquid weed cocktail, there is no actual cannabis involved in making the drink. Once again, it produces sweet, fruity flavours from a bright bluish-green coloured drink.

Its base is more liqueur and lower strength spirits, so it is more of a fun drink rather than one designed to have you falling-over drunk.

If you want to try some out, here is what you will need:

  • ¼ oz spiced rum
  • ¼ oz coconut rum
  • ¼ oz blue curaçao
  • ¼ oz Midori melon liqueur
  • ¼ oz pineapple juice
  • ¼ oz lemon juice
  • ¼ oz simple syrup

Once you’ve assembled your ingredients, you can follow these basic instructions for preparation:

  • Pour your ingredients and ice into a cocktail shaker.
  • Shake vigorously to combine the ingredients.
  • Pour.
  • Enjoy.
  • Repeat

For those of you used to working in different measurements, here is a handy unit conversion rate.

  • 1 oz = 30 ml
  • 1 cl = 10 ml = 1/3 oz
  • Standard jigger = 1.5 oz = 45 ml
  • bar spoon or teaspoon = 5 ml
  • tablespoon = 0.5 oz = 15 ml
  • 1 cup = 8 oz
  • 1 liter = 4.25 cups = 34 oz
  • 1 gallon = 3.8 liters = 5 x 750ml bottles
  • Juice of one lime = 1 oz = 30 ml
  • Juice of one lemon = 1.5 oz = 45 ml

Whether you take it as a shot or a cocktail, we hope you have fun making and drinking your Liquid weed.
