Just recently, a close friend of mine lost her Mother. During what could only be labeled as a year from hell in 2020, I decided to gift her with Cannabis In-Memory-Of Cocktails.
Traditionally, flowers are the thing to give when someone you know loses a loved one.
But here’s the thing: Flowers die. But Cannabis? It can soothe and numb some of that heart-hurt and when done properly, can help ease anxiety and depression too.
How Do You Make A Cannabis Cocktail?
Easy. You just need to infuse Cannabis into your bevvie of choice. Today we’re talking gin. You can do this with vodka, tequila, basically anything.
Below is a handy recipe to bookmark and keep, so you can infuse cannabis into your alcohol.
You can always make a tincture which is easily dropped into any cocktail for an added splash of pot.
The recipe below calls for vodka, but for our recipe today you’ll need gin.

Cannabis In-Memory-Of Cocktails

Here’s what I did to prepare this in-memory-of gift for my friend.
- High-quality gin (that will last for a while) My favorite is a Canadian brand called Georgian Bay Gin.
- Organic juices-because they’re so much better tasting and better for your health. I love Ceres Juices.
- I created a cute little recipe card (below) and included it in the gift bag
- Big gift bag. Put all of the ingredients inside ( this includes the infused gin), and bought some plastic wine cups at the dollar store.
- Sympathy card -and sent our love and condolences inside.
