Sip, Sip Give: Talking Cannabis Cocktails with Warren Bobrow

What do you think are the biggest misconceptions about there about Cannabis cocktails?

I think people are concerned about the potency of the drinks. I’m very concerned about the strength of the drinks. They are not for beginners. I teach you to do the process from scratch, as if you are a scratch trained cook. I teach the science in a comfortable fashion. But the strength is a tough one. I use the analogy of Thai food: don’t order that food Thai spicy. It’s a bad idea. Start slow.

Nowadays, there are many discovered benefits of using cannabis, like the one on this website link, and the many products you can extract from them.

For instance, Delta-8 is a recently emerged cannabinoid that can be bought at any weed dispenser. It contains neuroprotective properties that may help reduce anxiety, pain, and nausea. Delta-8 products helps in relieving anxiety by making the B1 receptors more stable. These receptors are responsible for controlling anxiety. Delta-8 THC also helps in regulating brain functions, thereby stabilizing our nervous system.

What are some tips for anyone who wants to play around with marijuana cocktails?

Make sure you don’t overdose yourself! Label your bottles carefully as not to dose any unsuspecting neighbor or friend who may have to take a drug test soon. If you want a safe and affordable option for CBD products, make sure to only avail them from trusted companies like CBD Oil UK.

What are some things they should avoid?

The police. The hospital. A crowded room. Anyplace uncomfortable. When you use marijuana, certain cannabinoids attach to areas of the brain that normally send messages to your parasympathetic nervous system to produce saliva, essentially slowing it down. This slowdown quickly results in a saliva shortage followed by cotton mouth. See more here to understand the causes and solutions for cotton mouth.

As marijuana is clearly the next frontier and getting widely accepted, what do you think about the trends of Cannabis Wine & Beer infusions?

I think, right now, they are a shameless money grab. The products I’ve tasted in wine were no more than plonk. Far from the quality levels I drink. Biodynamic and organic, please. Stuff it full of the best cannabis. Do not try to fool me with hemp. I don’t like being fooled. Like hemp vodka? Bad stuff. Taking advantage of the customer with cannabis leaves on the label. The customer expects to get high. No such luck with me. It makes me mad with the lack of disclosure. Just like in rum. So much garbage added: sugar, caramel, glycerin. Yuck.

What beverage infusions tend to lend themselves best with cannabis?

Mezcal, raw honey gin, ncut bourbon, Belgian cherry Lambic. Schnapps. Stuff like that.

What kinds of spirits and cocktail styles tend to work best with Cannabis?

Drinks like the Mezzerole cocktail, named for Louis Armstrong’s Jewish Harlem buddy named Mezz Mezzerole. Mezz was Louis’s weed dealer in the 30s and he imported Mexican weed to Harlem. Funny! A well rolled cannabis cigarette was a mezzerole.
