Cannabis Cocktail Recipe: Honey Duke Relaxer
The “bubbles” in bubble tea aren’t bubbles at all, of course; they’re chewy tapioca pearls. They go so well with a chilled, cream-spiked mint tea—even one that’s been muddled with dates and pistachios in a nod to majoon, the mind-expanding Moroccan candy made from dates and hashish. When you’re making your Honey Duke Relaxer, use a Canna-Coconut Oil that you’ve infused with Sativa strain Lemon Haze, with its ample aromatics of freshly crushed lemons and Eastern spices like anise, cinnamon, spearmint, and coriander. It’s the perfect repartee to the sweetness of the dates and the simple syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 ounce (30ml) cannabis infused coconut oil
- 2-3 dates grilled, for garnish
- spinkle pistachio nuts finely crushed
- 1 ounces (30 ml) non-medicated raw honey or simple syrup
- 6 ounces peppermint tea brewed then cooled
- 2 ounces (60 ml) dark rhum agricole
- dash heavy cream
- 1-2 tablespoons cooked tapioca pearls (boba)
Instructions
- Fill a Collins glass with ice.
- Heat the Canna-Coconut Oil for about 15 seconds in the top of a double boiler, until it turns clear. Then remove it from the heat, and add it to the glass.
- Muddle the grilled dates with the crushed pistachios in a Boston shaker, then fill the shaker three-quarters full with ice. Add the Raw Honey Simple Syrup, the peppermint tea, the Rhum Agricole, and the heavy cream. Cap and shake hard for 10 seconds.
- Place the tapioca pearls (boba) on top of the Canna-Coconut Oil in the ice-filled Collins glass. Strain the liquid mixture on top, then serve with a colorful straw.
