Legend has it that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns — which means wearing (and drinking… and smoking..) green things means you won’t get pinched on St Patrick’s Day!
We’re glad that there’s at least one patron saint in this world who doesn’t mind everybody getting absolutely plastered in their honour. And in honour of that, we’ve created these two green canna cocktails for you to mix up and sip on St Patrick’s Day.
Plus, aside from 4/20, St Patrick’s Day is the greenest day of the year. Cannabis, shamrocks, leprechauns, and green cocktails make up the majority of St Patrick’s Day. So get your friends together and celebrate the colour green with these two cannabis-infused green cocktails.
Disclaimer: Please remember that cannabis and alcohol potentiate each other! THC is also about 5 times more potent when you drink it than when you smoke it. When you’re drinking and consuming cannabis at the same time, you should consume less of both. Consume responsibly!
Vibe guide:
Full Spectrum (CBD oil): Daily calm, energy, mood, and focus.
Uplift (THC oil): Sunny, bright, creative, uplifted, alert, inspired, free.
Unwind (THC oil): Calm, sensual, connected, creative, relaxed, soothed, blissful.
1 CBD : 1 THC: Warm, soothed, serene, pain-free.
3 CBD : 1 THC: Balanced, focused, creative, easy-going.
If you're looking for an option that's completely free of THC, we recommend Isolate, My Supply Co.'s CBD isolate oil. However, you'll need much more CBD isolate than full-spectrum CBD to get similar effects. Refer to our guide to CBD isolate vs. full-spectrum CBD for help making an informed decision, or chat with us via the live chat widget.
1. Creamy Baileys Cannabis Grasshopper.
Following on from the disclaimer we just gave, this is a really strong cocktail. There’s no water or juice or anything happening in this cocktail, but the colour is divine. And it’s the perfect cannabis-infused beverage to enjoy with friends on St Patrick’s Day.
You’ll need to head to the liquor store for some very important ingredients:
- Creme de menthe (green)
- Creme de cacao (white)
- Bailey’s Irish Creme
- A piece of fresh mint to garnish
Creme de menthe is a mint liqueur that’s available in green and white; be sure to choose the green version so that your grasshopper is bright green.
Creme de cacao is a chocolate flavoured liqueur that’s available in brown or white; be sure to choose the white version so that the drink maintains its funky green colour.
Finally, Bailey’s makes the entire recipe all the more Irish. But we also understand if you want to bring the alcohol content down. You can replace Bailey’s with milk, cream, or half and half to reduce the alcohol content.
We recommend using My Supply Co.'s 1 CBD : 1 THC Oil. It’s all together energizing, balanced, and euphoric, adding just the right touch to the Baileys Grasshopper.
We also highly recommend that you keep the dose very light, in the vicinity of 5-10mg. Given the alcohol content in this beverage, only a small amount of cannabis is necessary to get all the feels.
Ingredients:
- My Supply Co.'s 1 CBD : 1 THC Oil
- 1 shot (30ml) creme de menthe (green)
- 1 shot (30ml) creme de cacao (white)
- 1 shot (30ml) Bailey’s Irish Creme
How to make a creamy Baileys cannabis grasshopper:
- Put all the ingredients in a shaker with some ice. If you don’t have a shaker, you can mix it really vigorously in a glass.
- Pour into a glass.
- Top with a couple of fresh mint leaves
2. Stoned Leprechaun Cocktail.
The Stoned Leprechaun Cocktail is another brightly coloured cocktail for your St Patrick’s Day celebration. Unlike the Grasshopper recipe above, the Stoned Leprechaun is a little more chill as it’s diluted with orange and pineapple juice. It’s fruity and delicious, and easy to sip on throughout the party.
Needless to say, we highly recommend using a cannabis product that doesn't overpower the fruity taste of this cocktail. My Supply Co.'s 3 CBD : 1 THC Oil is a good choice, otherwise a very small amount of Uplift, our energizing THC oil, goes a long way.
If you choose to add Uplift as your cannabis component, be very careful not to add too much. Its flavour is delicious but it’s also a very potent cannabis product and you don’t want to accidentally take too much.
Making the Stoned Leprechaun is easy but it packs a serious punch, so be prepared! A way to tame down the cocktail is to use this recipe but prepare it for two people. Top up each glass with pineapple or orange juice to fill out the glass, but that way each glass contains half the dose of alcohol and cannabis!
Ingredients:
- 1-2ml of My Supply Co.'s 3 CBD : 1 THC Oil or a very small serving of Uplift.
- 1 shot (30 ml) of blue curacao
- 1 shot (30ml) vodka
- 1 shot (30 ml) peach shnapps
- 1 shot (30 ml) orange juice
- 1 shot (30ml) pineapple juice
- A slice of orange and a cherry to garnish
How to make a stoned leprechaun cocktail:
- Add all the ingredients to a shaker with some ice except for the Blue Dream Distillate. This should be added at the end for precision. If you're using the drops, you can add them at the beginning.
- Shake and pour into a glass with fresh ice.
- If you're using Blue Dream Distillate, add it now.
- Garnish with a slice of orange and a cherry.
Remember — cannabis is for sharing! Enjoy a cocktail this St Patrick's Day with friends, a lover, a family member, or someone close! And remember to enjoy cannabis and alcohol responsibly. Happy St Patrick's Day!
