The Lawnmower

I know what you’re thinking, “wtf is this name, I’m tired of doing outdoor chores,” but listen, it’s called Lawnmower because you’re “cutting the grass with alcohol.”

Clever, we know.

Whatcha need:

• Vegetable juicer
• Drink shaker
• 1 apple (seedless & chunked)
• 2 carrots (chunked)
• 1 inch long sliver of ginger
• 1/2 of a peeled lemon (you can peel it in a fancy design to later garnish your drinks with)
• 2 oz. of that “special” vodka

Whatcha need to do:

1. Throw the apple, carrot, ginger and lemon chunks into a juicer and let it work it’s magic
2. Fill your drink shaker with a few ice cubes, pour in the juice from the juicer (which should be about 1/2 cup), then 1 fl oz of the canna-infused vodka.
3. Shake Shake, Shake Shake, Shake it
4. Use a strainer to pour your concoction into a few shot glasses. You can definitely ground up some fresh ice and your Lawnmower to make a frozen treat.
5. Ground up some fresh ice along with your finished Lawnmower to make a frozen treat. Garnish your glass with the peel of the lemon you saved from earlier.

A classic cannabis-infused drink: Lemonade with alcohol

Whatcha need:

• 6 cups *cold* water
• 10 lemons (if you want it less potent, use 6-8 lemons)
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tsp infused vegetable glycerin
• Vegetable juicer
• Fancy-Dancy pitcher

Whatcha need to do:

1. Add the 6 cups of cold water into your fancy-dancy pitcher, then set to the side
2. Cut each lemon in half, then use your hand, or a reamer, to squeeze each half of your lemons into a bowl.
3. Strain your lemon juice into your fancy-dancy pitcher. If you’d like to keep the pulp, don’t use the strainer – just beware of seeds!
4. Grab your sugar and slowly pour it into the pitcher, watch for the back-splash.
5. Stir the sugar in completely, as it likes to settle near the bottom.
6. Add your desired amount of the infused vegetable glycerin (we recommend the 3 tsp), then stir one more time.
7. Plop the fancy-dancy pitcher in the fridge for a few hours. Be sure to taste your lemonade beforehand.
