How to Make Edibles with CBD: CBD-Infused Vodka-Free Vodka Soda

Are you participating in Dry January? Maybe you’re not even sure what we’re talking about!

Well, Dry January is a worldwide movement wherein participants abstain from alcohol for the entire month of January.

There are a variety of reasons for doing this, ranging from health to pure curiosity, and there are a wide variety of things that people find useful throughout the process. Many Tweedle Farms customers simply forgo a drink in favor of their favorite CBD flower, but some people desire something that looks, feels, and tastes like a cocktail.

Around the internet, you’ll find all manner of fancy “spirit-free cocktails” (don’t call ‘em “mocktails,” folks); we’ve even posted one or two on our blog. So, for the last few days of January 2024, we decided to do something simple. Something classic.

Today, we’re going to tell you how to make a CBD-Infused Vodka-Free Vodka Soda. And better yet, we’ve got two variations queued up. One, using our Organic Beverage Enhancer, and a second, using CBD-infused MCT Oil, made with Tweedle Farms CBD hemp flower.

Ingredients

• Soda Water (we like to use something flavored like a cranberry lime seltzer)
• 1 Lime
• Organic Beverage Enhancer or CBD-Infused MCT Oil

Directions for Organic Beverage Enhancer

It almost feels silly to even write these out, because it’s about as simple as it gets. Still, let’s dive in…

Step 1

Fill your desired number of glasses with seltzer water.

Step 2

Chop your lime. Squeeze 1 lime wedge into each glass. Then, garnish each glass with 1 lime wedge.

Step 3

Add 1 pump of our Organic Beverage Enhancer to each glass.

Step 4

Enjoy! Each cup will contain ~20mg of full spectrum cannabinoid extract, including CBD, CBG, CBC, and just a hint of THC. It’s like drinking a glass of CBD flower!

Directions for CBD-Infused MCT Oil

In order to use this recipe, you’ll need to have a batch of CBD-infused MCT Oil handy. Don’t have one yet? Grab some hemp flower, smalls, or shake here and grab the recipe here!

Materials Needed for this Variation

• Shaker

Step 1

Fill your shaker with enough seltzer water to fill 2 glasses (~24oz).

Step 2

Chop your lime. Squeeze 2 lime wedges into your shaker.

Step 3

Add 2 tbsp of CBD-infused MCT Oil to your shaker and SHAKE!

Step 4

Pour into two glasses and garnish with lime wedges.

Step 5

Enjoy!

Are you wondering, “how much CBD is in my drink?”

Well, in order to figure that out, you’ll have to first calculate how much CBD is in your MCT oil.

If you purchased your CBD flower from us, you’ll have the test results handy. If you misplaced them, don’t stress! You can find them on the product page.

Now, in our recipe for CBD-infused MCT oil, we suggest infusing 14 grams of CBD flower into 1 cup of MCT oil. So, as an example, let’s say that your CBD flower contains 20% total cannabinoids. When CBD flower is decarboxylated, i.e. heated, about 87% of the cannabinoids are activated. Conservatively, we’ll say that 80% of the cannabinoids were activated when you made your MCT oil, leaving you with about 2240mg of CBD in the finished product.

There are 16 tbsp in a cup, so that means that each tbsp of your CBD-infused MCT oil, and each serving of your CBD-infused Vodka-Free Vodka Soda, should contain ~140mg of cannabinoids.
