This cannabis infused Cape Squirt cocktail is a refreshing, grapefruit-forward cannabis drink inspired by the classic Cape Cod. Instead of vodka and cranberry, this non-alcoholic cannabis cocktail uses muddled blueberries and raspberries, fresh grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, sparkling water, and green dragon tincture for the cannabis kick. Beautiful to look at, delicious to drink — especially after a day at the beach.
Ingredients for Cannabis Infused Cape Squirt Cocktail
- A small handful of blueberries
- A small handful of raspberries (plus more for garnish)
- Juice of 1 grapefruit (or Squirt soda as a shortcut)
- A splash of cranberry juice
- 1–1.5ml green dragon tincture (adjust to your tolerance)
- Ice cubes
- Sparkling water / carbonated water (to top)
- Optional: 2 drops of red food colouring for a richer red colour
- Metal straw for serving
How to Make Cannabis Infused Cape Squirt Cocktail — 5 Steps
Step 1: Muddle the Berries
Drop the blueberries and raspberries into the bottom of a glass. Using a muddler, press and twist firmly to crush the fruit and release the juices. This muddled fruit cannabis cocktail base creates a beautiful berry layer at the bottom of the glass and infuses the whole drink with fresh fruit flavour.
Step 2: Add Grapefruit and Cranberry Juice
Juice one grapefruit and pour it directly into the glass over the muddled fruit. Add a generous splash of cranberry juice. This grapefruit cranberry cannabis drink combination is what gives the Cape Squirt its signature tart-sweet flavour profile. If you have Squirt soda available, you can substitute it for the fresh grapefruit juice — just skip the sparkling water in that case since the soda already provides carbonation.
Step 3: Add Green Dragon Tincture
Measure your green dragon cocktail tincture recipe dose using a syringe. For this non-alcoholic cannabis cocktail, 1–1.5ml of green dragon tincture per serving is a comfortable starting point. If your tincture is strong, 1ml may be plenty. Add it directly to the glass and stir briefly to incorporate.
Step 4: Add Ice and Top with Sparkling Water
Fill the glass with ice cubes. Top with sparkling water or carbonated water, filling to just below the rim. Stir gently with a spoon to bring all the layers together without losing the carbonation. This is where the cannabis infused Cape Squirt cocktail really comes together — the bubbles lift the muddled berry flavours throughout the drink.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Float a few fresh raspberries and blueberries on top as garnish. Add a reusable metal straw — ideally a wide boba-style straw so you can pick up some of the muddled fruit at the bottom. Optional: 2 drops of red food colouring deepens the colour for a more impressive presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Cannabis Infused Cape Squirt Cocktail — Variations
- Use Squirt soda: Replace the fresh grapefruit juice and sparkling water with Squirt soda for a sweeter, more carefree version.
- Add alcohol (carefully): You can add a shot of vodka, but combine alcohol with cannabis tincture with caution — the effects compound significantly.
- Use cranberries instead of raspberries: Frozen cranberries muddled in give a more traditional Cape Cod flavour profile.
- Make it a pitcher: Scale up the muddled fruit cannabis cocktail by 4x and serve in a pitcher — just add the tincture per glass when serving, not to the whole batch.
Non-Alcoholic Cannabis Cocktail Tips
The cannabis infused Cape Squirt cocktail works beautifully as a non-alcoholic cannabis cocktail because the tincture provides the “buzz” without needing booze. A few things to keep in mind:
- Onset time: Tincture in a cold drink takes 45–90 minutes to fully kick in when consumed as an edible drink. Be patient before deciding to have more.
- Don’t mix with alcohol casually: If you decide to add spirits, reduce the tincture dose significantly — alcohol and cannabis potentiate each other.
- Green dragon tincture tip: Always shake the bottle before measuring — the concentrated extract settles to the bottom over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Cape Squirt cannabis cocktail?
The cannabis infused Cape Squirt cocktail is a riff on the classic Cape Cod cocktail (vodka and cranberry). This version replaces the vodka with green dragon tincture and uses fresh grapefruit juice in place of the traditional citrus, creating a tart, refreshing grapefruit cranberry cannabis drink.
Can I use cannabis coconut oil instead of tincture in this green dragon cocktail tincture recipe?
Not recommended. Cannabis coconut oil (fat-based) won’t mix into a cold liquid cocktail — it will float to the top. The green dragon cocktail tincture recipe works because alcohol-based tincture dissolves cleanly into any liquid, hot or cold.
How do I muddle fruit properly for a muddled fruit cannabis cocktail?
Place the fruit at the bottom of a sturdy glass. Press a muddler (or the back of a spoon) firmly into the fruit and twist. Apply enough pressure to break the fruit and release the juices, but don’t over-muddle to the point of grinding the seeds (for raspberries). 5–8 presses is usually enough for a good muddled fruit cannabis cocktail base.
