Infused Mango Lassi
Creamy mango lassi with cannabis honey.
This cannabis infused mango lassi recipe combines cannabis tincture with vibrant fruit flavors for a fun, non-alcoholic infused beverage bursting with natural sweetness. Fruity cannabis mocktails are crowd-pleasers that disguise the herbal taste of cannabis behind layers of berry, tropical, and stone fruit flavors. They are a festive, approachable way to enjoy edibles. A thick, creamy infused mango lassi blends ripe mango with yogurt and cannabis tincture for a traditional Indian drink with a twist.
- 2 cups ripe mango
- 1 cup yoghurt
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp cannabis honey
- ½ tsp cardamom
- Pinch salt
- Blend all ingredients until smooth.
- Taste and adjust. Pour into glasses.
Dosing Tips for Your Infused Mango Lassi
- Blend fruit thoroughly with your cannabis infusion to create a smooth emulsion where the dose is evenly distributed.
- Thick, smoothie-style fruity drinks hold fat-based cannabis infusions better than thin juices. Add banana or mango for body.
- Keep doses at 5-10 mg per serving. Fruity drinks are easy to overconsume because they taste like dessert.
- If making a batch, serve in pre-measured portions rather than from a communal pitcher.
- Blend tincture into each individual lassi serving so you can control the dose per glass precisely.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Blending fruit with cannabis fat and then straining removes some of the dose along with the pulp. Blend well and serve unstrained.
- Assuming fruit sugar offsets the cannabis. It improves the taste but does not change the psychoactive dose at all.
- Making drinks too thick or too thin. Too thick slows drinking and delays onset. Too thin causes fat separation.
- Not accounting for the natural sugars in fruit when calculating total recipe nutrition.
How to Store Infused Mango Lassi
- Fresh fruit cannabis drinks oxidize quickly. Consume within a few hours for the best flavor and appearance.
- Freeze cannabis fruit blends into popsicle molds for a pre-portioned frozen treat that keeps for 2 months.
- Cannabis fruit puree bases can be refrigerated for 2 days before adding to fresh drinks.
- Drink immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours; the yogurt separates if left too long.
Variations & Ideas
- Layer cannabis-infused coconut cream over a non-infused fruit juice for a beautiful gradient drink with the dose on top.
- Make a cannabis acai bowl by blending frozen acai with banana, cannabis coconut oil, and a splash of plant milk.
- Muddle fresh berries with cannabis simple syrup and top with sparkling water for an elegant spritzer.
- Add a pinch of cardamom and saffron threads for an authentic, fragrant lassi with golden hue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mango, pineapple, passion fruit, and strong berries like blackberry and raspberry are the most effective at covering the herbal cannabis taste. Their bold, sweet-tart flavors dominate the palate. Mango specifically contains myrcene, a terpene also found in cannabis.
Mangoes contain the terpene myrcene, which some claim enhances THC effects by helping it cross the blood-brain barrier more efficiently. Scientific evidence is limited, but many consumers report a noticeable effect. At minimum, mango is delicious and masks cannabis flavor well.
Absolutely. Frozen fruit blends well, creates a cold drink without diluting ice, and is available year-round. It also helps emulsify cannabis fat when blended at high speed. Frozen tropical fruits are especially good for cannabis mocktails.
The safest approach is to make non-infused punch and offer cannabis simple syrup or tincture drops on the side. Each person adds their own dose. Clearly label the cannabis addition and provide measuring tools. Never pre-dose a communal punch bowl.
Smoothies are one of the best edible formats. The blending creates a thorough emulsion, fruits mask the taste, and the liquid format means relatively fast onset. Add healthy fats like avocado or nut butter alongside cannabis oil for a nutritious, well-dosed drink.
