Incorporating Cannabis Infused Foods, Drinks And Desserts Into Your Next Party

Recreational cannabis use is becoming more mainstream, so do not be surprised when your friends and family start to introduce cannabis-infused foods to their parties and social gatherings. If you are hosting a party and need advice about how to incorporate cannabis into the menu, here is your quick reference guide:

Creating Your Menu

The first thing you need to keep in mind when cooking with cannabis as an ingredient is creating the right menu. The good news is, thanks to the cannabis-infused oils and butters, you can explore countless options when it comes to designing exciting courses. When planning your meal, consider your guests’ dietary needs and preferences. Vegetarian, vegan or gluten free options are easier than ever to incorporate, if necessary. Moderation is the key when adding cannabis infused foods into your party – if you are not an experienced “bud chef”, remember, less is more.

Pairing Dishes with Strains

If you consider cannabis to be an ingredient like any other, you need to pay attention to which strains you are using. Avoid pungent buds if you are making a pastry dish or delicate dessert. Select buds that have fruity or citrus notes when preparing your sweet treats.

Getting the Dose Right

When incorporating cannabis infused food into your party, it is important to know the dosage in every dish to enable your guests to have the best experience. If you or your guests are have not consumed cannabis infused food, it is wise to keep alcohol consumption to a minimum. Another option is skipping the food and simply infusing your favorite cocktail with cannabis. Remember to drink plenty water, doing so will help to ensure proper hydration and keep cottonmouth at bay.
