It’s smooth, strong, simple to make, and enhanced with a relaxing cannabis tincture that brings an extra level of chill to the day.
Whether you serve it up at brunch, happy hour, or as a nightcap, this infused Old Fashioned isn’t just a drink — it’s an experience you can share. One sip, and you're bonding over stories, laughs, and that slow-sipping goodness dads love.
Infused Whiskey Old Fashioned Recipe
Ingredients:
-
2 oz good-quality bourbon or rye whiskey
-
1 sugar cube or ½ tsp simple syrup
-
2–3 dashes Angostura bitters
-
A few drops of cannabis tincture (THC or CBD – dosage depends on strength/preference)
-
Orange peel, for garnish
-
Ice (large cube preferred)
Instructions:
-
Muddle the Base
In a lowball glass, muddle the sugar and bitters until dissolved. If using simple syrup, just stir it in. -
Add the Whiskey & Infusion
Pour in your whiskey and add the cannabis tincture. Stir slowly to combine. -
Add Ice
Drop in a large ice cube to chill the drink without watering it down too quickly. -
Garnish
Express the oils from an orange peel over the glass, then drop it in as a garnish.
Dosing Notes:
Start low and slow — especially if you’re sharing this with a dad who’s new to edibles or tinctures. A microdose (e.g., 2.5–5 mg THC) can offer light relaxation without overpowering the experience. Always label your infused drinks clearly and enjoy responsibly.
Father’s Day isn’t about extravagance — it’s about presence. A thoughtfully prepared cocktail like this infused Old Fashioned gives you a chance to slow down and savor time together. It’s bold, classic, and just a little elevated — just like Dad.
So go ahead: raise a glass, share a story, and enjoy the kind of Father’s Day that’s best served neat.
