Why You Will Love This Recipe

I’ve shared a ton of infused drink recipes here on the blog, but this is by far the most popular summertime staple of them all.

And, I am excited because this sangria is the very first recipe I am sharing from my Cannabis Drinks Made Simple Cookbook.

This recipe uses an alcohol-based tincture, so if you don’t yet have one made yet, be sure to grab my guide for making the Green Dragon or the Golden Dragon tincture.

In this guide, I will share the step-by-step instructions for making this recipe, share different ways you can customize this recipe to make it your own, and talk more about combining alcohol and cannabis safely.

What You’ll Need

• 1 medium-sized orange – Washed with the rind on, sliced, and diced. Feel free to use different types of oranges for different flavor combinations – tangerines, blood oranges, or honeybells are all awesome choices!
• 1 medium-sized lemon –  Washed with the rind on, sliced and diced.
• 750mL bottle of red wine – A whole bottle of a Spanish red wine of your choice – Pinot Noir, Merlot, and Syrah are all tasty.
• *Cannabis alcohol tincture – You want to ensure you are using an alcohol-based tincture, not an oil-based tincture. You can learn more in the alternative infusion option section below. *How much you use should depend on how strong your tincture is and how strong you want your drink to be.
• 1½ cup frozen berries – Feel free to use any type of frozen berry that you like. Frozen raspberries, blackberries, or a full mix work great.
• 1 whole cinnamon stick – To add a slightly spicy flavor.

Storage Instructions

This delicious sangria can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

The longer the sangria sits, the longer the flavors will have to come together and develop.

Alternate Infusion Options

As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something.

Below we will explore all of the different ways you could infuse this delicious red wine sangria.

Cannabis Tincture

Before getting started with this cannabis sangria recipe, you want to make sure that you already have a cannabis alcohol tincture prepared first.

A tincture is made by extracting cannabis compounds with high-proof grain alcohol.

If you have not yet made a cannabis tincture, you will want to prepare either one of the following tinctures.

Notes & Expert Tips

• Traditional red sangria is made with red wine, traditionally a Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah. If you use a bottle of red wine to make this sangria, it will taste like more of a traditional sangria, and it will also be higher in alcohol content.
• Make it a mocktail! If you use a bottle of no-added-sugar grape juice to make your sangria, it will have less of a traditional flavor, but will also have less alcohol.

A Word of Caution On Cannabis Cocktails

I like cannabis a lot more than I like alcohol, but every once in a while I like to enjoy a good cocktail or glass of wine.

On a very rare occasion, I like to combine my cannabis and alcohol in one, like with a cannabis cocktail.

But before getting started, I want to warn you that edibles can affect you much differently than inhaled cannabis or topically applied cannabis.

Cannabis edibles can be strong and potent, even causing hallucinogenic side effects in some situations.

If you are brand new to cannabis edibles, be sure to grab my beginner’s guide to cannabis edibles before you get started to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Combining Cannabis and Alcohol

Both THC and alcohol have the ability to produce intoxicating effects.

On top of that, they both can affect everyone very differently based on our own unique physiology and endocannabinoid systems.

This cannabis sangria is combining two intoxicating ingredients – cannabis and alcohol – so I want you to take special care to be mindful of your consumption amount and your own personal tolerance levels.

Cannabis tinctures are made with high-proof alcohol.

The cannabis potency can vary greatly from batch to batch depending on the amount and quality of cannabis used.

Please make sure you are using your best judgment, and my edibles dosage calculator, so that you can enjoy your cannabis sangria safely and responsibly.
