Cannabis drinks are one of the easiest ways to consume infusions. Tinctures mix seamlessly into any beverage, and infused honey dissolves perfectly in hot drinks. No baking required — just stir and sip.
Dosing drinks
Cannabis Kool-Aid (Most Popular)
Weed Kool-Aid is the simplest infused drink there is. Tincture is alcohol-based, so it mixes straight into the cold water — no fat or heat needed. Mix Kool-Aid to package directions, calculate your total THC, divide by number of servings, and stir tincture into the full pitcher.
- Make Kool-Aid to package directions (1 packet + 1 cup sugar + 2 quarts water)
- Decide your per-serving dose (5 mg is a comfortable party dose)
- Multiply by 8 servings per pitcher to get total mg needed
- Stir tincture into the pitcher for 15–20 seconds
- Label clearly — infused Kool-Aid looks identical to regular

Cannabis Hot Chocolate
Hot chocolate made with whole milk provides the fat needed for optimal cannabinoid absorption. This is one of the best-tasting cannabis drink options.
- Heat 1 cup whole milk (not skim — fat matters for absorption)
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons sugar (or cannabis sugar for extra potency)
- Remove from heat and stir in cannabis tincture or a teaspoon of cannabutter
- Top with whipped cream and a pinch of cinnamon
Cannabis Chai Tea
Brew strong chai tea using your preferred method — loose leaf or bags. Add 1–2 drops of cannabis tincture or a spoonful of cannabis honey. The warm spices in chai — cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves — complement the herbal flavor of cannabis and mask any bitterness.
- Brew chai extra-strong to offset any tincture flavor
- Add whole milk or cream — fat improves cannabinoid absorption
- Stir well to distribute the tincture evenly
Safety first
Cannabis Coffee
Brew your normal coffee and add cannabis tincture or a teaspoon of cannabutter. For best results, blend cannabutter into coffee using a milk frother — this emulsifies the fat and creates a smooth, latte-like texture.
Tips for All Cannabis Drinks
- Don't add tincture to boiling liquid: Let your drink cool slightly first. Extreme heat can degrade cannabinoids and evaporate alcohol.
- Stir thoroughly: Tincture can settle if not mixed well. Stir for at least 10 seconds.
- Fat improves absorption: Add milk, cream, or coconut oil to any drink for better cannabinoid uptake.
- Onset time: Drinks are metabolized as edibles — expect 45–90 minutes for full effects.
