THC mocktail recipes: Mojito first

Quick answer

The easiest THC mocktail is one THC drink, poured over ice with fresh fruit and herbs. Start with a Mojito: muddle mint and lime, add crushed ice, pour over one 5mg Little Rick Mojito can, and you have a 5mg THC mojito with no alcohol, in two minutes. Build every glass on one can and you always know the dose.

  • One can per glass = one known dose (5mg with our 5mg cans).
  • Batch the mixers, not the cans, when you make drinks for a group.
  • One glass, then wait about two hours. No alcohol on top, and never drive.

Making THC mocktails for a group

  • Batch the mixers, not the THC. Make a jug of lime and mint, grapefruit juice or muddled berries, then add one can to each glass.
  • Label the glasses if you're also serving drinks with no THC.
  • Offer a half-can option for first-timers: half a 5mg can (2.5mg) topped with soda water.
  • Keep alcohol off the table for anyone drinking THC.

A Mix Pack puts several of these flavors in one box. For more ideas, see our 12 easy THC mocktail recipes, and for timing, our guide to how long THC drinks take to kick in.

FAQ

What is a THC mocktail?

A THC mocktail is an alcohol-free mixed drink with a measured dose of THC. The simplest way to make one is to use a THC drink as the main pour.

How much THC is in each of these mocktails?

Each can-based recipe uses one Little Rick 5mg can, so each glass has 5mg of THC. The spirit recipe uses a measured 1 oz pour, about 7.9mg.

Can I use a 10mg or 25mg can?

Yes, but the glass will be stronger. Half a 10mg can is about 5mg. Keep 25mg cans for people who already know their dose.

Can I add alcohol to a THC mocktail?

We don't recommend it. Mixing THC and alcohol makes both harder to judge.

Which mocktail is lowest in sugar?

The Raspberry Coconut Lime Rickey and the Black Cherry Limeade, because both cans are zero sugar.
