Grapefruit & ginger THC spritz

Fresh ginger, a sharp squeeze of grapefruit and Cann Classic Grapefruit Rosemary. Check the grapefruit and medicine note before choosing this glass.

What gives it THC

Cann Classic · Grapefruit Rosemary

One 8 fl oz / 237 mL can. Added last to the grapefruit and ginger. Read the grapefruit and medicine note before choosing it.

California adult-use example, 21+. Specified can: 2 mg THC + 4 mg CBD. This quantity is an ingredient reference, not personal intake guidance.

Grapefruit brings the bitterness; ginger adds a little heat. A short squeeze of juice is enough to sharpen the canned drink without turning the glass into breakfast juice. Grate and strain the ginger first so the finished drink has no fibrous pieces to fish out.

Make it step by step.

Ingredients

Tick off what you have ready.

Equipment

  • 16 fl oz / 475 mL glass
  • Fine grater and small strainer
  • Small bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Long spoon

Steps

  1. Read the grapefruit and medicine note below before choosing this recipe. Check that the actual local can matches the specified flavor, volume and cannabinoid amounts. Keep its label beside a clearly identified THC glass.

  2. Finely grate a small piece of washed ginger and press it through the strainer into a small bowl. Measure 1 teaspoon of the juice into the glass. Stir in the grapefruit juice and maple syrup, then add ice.

  3. Pour in the Cann slowly. Stir gently once, then twist the grapefruit peel over the glass and add it. Serve promptly with the labeled can beside the glass.

Timing and yield

Times and yields are estimates. Afterlo has not kitchen-tested this recipe.

Grapefruit and medicines

Grapefruit can interact with some prescription and nonprescription medicines. Check your medicine's directions and ask a pharmacist if you are unsure. If you need to avoid grapefruit, choose a different recipe rather than assuming this amount is too small to matter. FDA: grapefruit and medicines

Without THC

Replace the entire canned drink with 237 mL plain sparkling water. Keep the ginger, grapefruit and maple measurements; this version still contains grapefruit. Identify it separately from any THC drink.

The can is the reference

Cann describes its classic 8 fl oz drink as containing 2 mg THC and 4 mg CBD. Check both figures on the actual can. Hi Boys, Roadies, concentrates and other formats are not interchangeable here. The glass uses one identified can; that is an ingredient specification, not a recommendation to consume the whole drink. Added juice or ice does not remove its THC.

California, adults 21+

This example is scoped to California's licensed adult-use market. Check current local and property rules and the locally sold product. The brand's online hemp store is a different sales channel. Serve only to an informed adult who has chosen THC, with the original labeled can beside the glass. California DCC: what's legal

Keep it separate

Make one clearly identified glass at a time. Keep cannabis products locked in childproof storage, away from children and pets. Edible effects can be delayed and unpredictable; this recipe gives no repeat-serving schedule. CDC: edible cannabis and poisoning

Alcohol and driving

Use alcohol-free ingredients, including any syrup. Do not add spirits, alcoholic bitters or more THC products. Do not drive after using cannabis; the recipe does not establish when driving is safe. CDC: cannabis and driving
