My Bloody Mezcal-entine: A Collab with Elise McRoberts
Such an honor to have so many cannabis boss babes over for a medicated mezcal Galentine's meet-up in my kitchen studio. We've got a few recipes coming your way starting with this Bloody Mezcal-entine cocktail with my sous vide lemon verbena tincture made with Lemon Garlic OG from our buds at Sunset Connect.
Medicated Lemon Verbena Tincture
Makes 250ml (about 1 cup)
Ingredients:
• 1 cup Everclear (or any high-proof liquor — at least 100 proof or 50% alcohol by volume)
• 6 grams ground, decarbed cannabis
• Peel of two lemons
• 1/2 cup dried lemon verbena leaves
Directions:
1. Set your sous vide water bath to 70ºC.
2. Place all ingredients in a zip seal bag and seal using the water displacement method.
3. Submerge and sous vide for 1 hour.
4. Remove from water bath and let cool to room temperature before opening the bag. Strain out the solids and discard. Keep bitters in a bottle in a dark cabinet.
*Always start small when using bitters and tinctures. 2-4 drops and wait 30-60 minutes for full effects. Increase dosage if needed.
