9 Cannabis Cocktails to Keep You Baked All Year Long

Sometimes it feels like there isn’t enough booze or bud in the world to make your life seem any easier. From political drama (who the fuck knows what Trump will do and/or tweet next) to celebrity deaths (RIP Mary Tyler Moore), 2017 promises to be rough—but don’t worry, we’re here to help you get through it all!

Our friends over at Cut.com have been whipping up cannabis cocktails, and we’ve compiled the best of the best to help you forget your troubles, at least for a little while.

1. Weed Whiskey 

Ingredients:
750 mL bottle of Bourbon Whiskey
1/4 oz Ground Weed

Directions:
Pour the bottle of whiskey into a sealable jar (or pour out a little bit of whiskey to make up for the added volume of the weed) and add the ground weed.
Shake the bottle and let it sit, out of the sun, for at least 48 hours. Shake it up at least once a day until it has reached your desired potency—up to one month, if possible. The longer it sits, the more potent it will be.
Pour the whiskey mixture into a glass container, using a cheesecloth to strain out all ground weed from the whiskey. Repeat this step as necessary to strain all of the whiskey from the ground weed, and discard the remaining weed.

2. Weed Sazerac

Ingredients:
2 oz  Weed Rye Whiskey
1 cube Sugar
2 dashes Peychauds Bitters
1/2 tsp Water

Directions:
Dose the sugar cube with bitters. Crush it into the bottom of glass. Add water.
In a mixing glass, stir rye with ice and one more dash of Peychauds. Strain into sugar. Add lemon twist, if desired.

Gently fold stiff egg whites into the yolk mixture. Grate nutmeg into the mixture while folding.
Refrigerate one hour and serve with grated nutmeg on top.
