A Self-Serve Citrus Mimosa Bar with THC Tinctures

Juices on ice, alcohol-free bubbles and labeled tincture bottles with dose cards: a brunch bar where every guest builds and doses their own glass.

A cannabis mimosa bar turns brunch into a build-your-own station: chilled juices, sparkling water or alcohol-free bubbles, citrus garnishes and labeled THC or CBD tinctures. Every guest pours, mixes and doses their own glass, so nobody drinks an amount someone else picked.

The tincture station

  • Label each bottle with the cannabinoid (THC or CBD) and its mg per ml, taken from the product label.
  • Give every bottle its own dropper or measuring syringe, and never swap them between bottles.
  • Post a card: start low, take one measured dose, then wait 2 hours.
  • Leave alcohol out. The CDC notes that using alcohol and cannabis together is likely to impair you more than either alone.

Juices, bubbles and garnishes

Set out three or four chilled juices, such as orange, grapefruit, blood orange and tangerine, beside chilled sparkling water or alcohol-free sparkling wine. Add citrus wheels and twists for garnish. Shopping for a tincture? Check your nearest High Society store's online menu first, since selection varies by store, and a budtender can walk you through the label.

How to pour a cannabis mimosa

Pour about one part juice to three parts bubbles into a flute. Add a measured tincture dose if you'd like a THC mimosa, then stir gently: THC doesn't dissolve in water, so a quick stir helps spread it through the glass. For more mixing ideas, see our guide to making cannabis-infused drinks.

Matching citrus to a tincture's aroma notes

A single-strain tincture comes from one named cultivar's extract instead of a blend, and some labels describe its aroma. If a tincture leans citrusy, which often points to limonene, the terpene behind much of citrus peel's scent, an orange or grapefruit juice echoes it. Think of it as a flavor game: aroma notes tell you about taste, not about how a glass will feel.

When the party wraps

Mixed drinks aren't saved, so pour out anything left in glasses. Tinctures go back into their labeled bottles and up high, away from children and pets. If someone swallows a tincture by accident, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.

Recipe

Makes
8 glasses
Prep time
20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 bottles (750 ml each) alcohol-free sparkling wine, well chilled, or 1.5 liters sparkling water
  • 3 or 4 citrus juices, about 1 cup each: orange, grapefruit, blood orange or tangerine
  • Orange, lemon and grapefruit wheels and twists
  • THC and/or CBD tinctures in labeled bottles, each with its own dropper or syringe
  • Dose cards and a start-low card
  • A tub of ice for the juice carafes

Steps

  1. Chill the bubbles and juices thoroughly, then nest the juice carafes in a tub of ice.

  2. Arrange the tinctures, their droppers and the dose cards on their own tray, apart from the juices.

  3. Pour about 1 1/2 ounces of juice into a flute and top with about 4 1/2 ounces of bubbles.

  4. Add one measured tincture dose if you like, and stir gently to spread it through the drink.

  5. Finish with a citrus wheel or twist and serve right away.

  6. After the party, cap the tinctures and put them away, and pour out any mixed drinks left in glasses.

Frequently asked questions

How many drops of tincture go in a mimosa?

Measure in milliliters rather than drops, because drop size varies. Check the label's mg per ml: 0.5 ml of a tincture labeled 5 mg per ml is about 2.5 mg. Health Canada suggests new consumers start at 2.5 mg of THC or less. Drink one glass, then wait at least 2 hours.

Can I mix THC with champagne?

We don't recommend it. Alcohol and THC together are likely to impair you more than either alone. In a controlled driving-simulator study, people who combined edibles and alcohol often drove worse than with either one by itself. If some guests want real sparkling wine, keep those glasses tincture-free.

How do I keep guests from overdoing it?

Build the limits into the setup. Use labeled bottles with measured droppers and a card that says one dose, then wait 2 hours. Keep plenty of zero-THC bubbles and food out, with no alcohol on the infused side of the bar. Close the tincture station after the first round, and make sure nobody who doses drives.
