This weed infused soda recipe combines a homemade mango simple syrup with cannabis syrup and sparkling water for a refreshing drink you can make in under 15 minutes. Bonus: mangoes contain myrcene, a terpene that may amplify and extend your high — making this more than just a tasty drink.
What Is a Weed Infused Soda?
A weed infused soda is a sparkling drink made by combining infused sparkling water or a cannabis syrup with fruit syrups, flavors, and carbonated water. Unlike edibles, the effect onset can vary depending on how the cannabis is infused and how much you consume. This recipe uses a separately-prepared cannabis simple syrup stirred into a mango-flavored sparkling drink.
The myrcene mango high connection is real — mangoes are one of the most terpene-rich fruits, and myrcene may help cannabinoids cross the blood-brain barrier more efficiently. Eating or drinking mango before, during, or after a session can potentially extend and enhance the experience.
How to Make Mango Simple Syrup
This mango simple syrup is the base of the recipe. Here is what you need:
- 350 ml (1.5 cups) water
- 300 g (1.5 cups) white or caster sugar
- 325 g fresh mango, cut small
- 3/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional, adds complexity)
- Juice of half a lime (natural preservative)
Instructions: Add water, sugar, mango, vanilla, and lime juice to a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and simmer uncovered for 10–12 minutes. The lid stays off so the syrup reduces and concentrates. Use a wooden muddler or masher to break down the mango while it simmers. Strain through a fine mesh into a jar, pressing the pulp to extract all the liquid. Let it cool before use — or chill in the fridge for faster cooling.
Building Your Weed Infused Soda
Once your mango simple syrup is ready, assembling the weed infused soda takes less than a minute:
- Fill a glass with ice cubes
- Add 2.5 tablespoons of the syrup
- Add 1 tablespoon of cannabis simple syrup
- Stir to combine before adding carbonation
- Top with sparkling water or club soda and stir gently
The result is a light, naturally flavored cannabis soda recipe with no artificial ingredients. Adjust the mango syrup to 3 tablespoons if you prefer a sweeter, stronger mango flavor. The cannabis syrup will have a slight herbal taste — it blends well with the mango and does not overpower it.
How to Infuse Your Mango Syrup with Cannabis
If you want to skip a separate cannabis syrup and infuse the mango syrup directly, here is the method:
- Prepare your concentrate: decarbed rosin, distillate, or FECO work best
- Mix 1 teaspoon of lecithin with your concentrate
- Stir the mixture into the simmering syrup in the last 4–5 minutes of cooking
- Stir continuously until fully incorporated
This creates an infused sparkling water base syrup without needing a separate cannabis syrup. The lecithin acts as an emulsifier to keep the oil evenly distributed throughout. Once strained and chilled, use it the same way — add to sparkling water for a complete cannabis soda recipe in one step.
5 Brilliant Tips for the Best Results
- Use a fine mesh strainer — coarser strainers leave pulp and gritty texture
- Chill the syrup fully before mixing — warm syrup dissolves carbonation fast
- Start low on dosing — taste before adding more cannabis syrup
- Reduce longer for a thicker syrup; shorter for a light, pourable consistency
- Lime juice is not optional if you want shelf life — it prevents the syrup from fermenting within days
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best cannabis for a weed infused soda?
Concentrates work best — distillate, decarbed rosin, or FECO. They dissolve more cleanly than flower and give consistent dosing for this drink.
Do mangoes really boost your high?
The myrcene mango high effect is real to many users. Myrcene is a terpene found in high concentrations in mangoes that may enhance cannabinoid uptake. Results vary by individual.
How long does mango simple syrup last?
With lime juice added, the mango simple syrup keeps in the fridge for 2–3 weeks in a sealed jar. Without lime, use within 1 week.
Can I use store-bought mango juice instead?
Yes, but store-bought juice lacks the concentrated flavor and natural preservation of a homemade simple syrup. Homemade tastes significantly better and gives you control over sweetness.
