Cannabis DIY projects can be tons of fun. For instance, you can learn how to make basic cannabis-infused butter and use it for all kinds of psychoactive recipes. You can also learn how to make cannabis topicals. But if you’re looking for another fun project, try making some of the best cannabis-infused drinks.
Mixing cannabis with drinks results in an incredibly refreshing and relaxing way to get high. Like edibles, cannabis-infused drinks can get you high for hours on end – although you’ll need to wait a little while for the effects to kick in. Plus, you can infuse all kinds of beverages with cannabis from milkshakes to cocktails. Here are 5 of the best cannabis-infused drinks and how to make them.
1. Cannabis-Infused Milk
You’ve probably heard of cannabis butter, but what about cannabis milk? Since THC binds to the fats in dairy products, you can infuse your milk with the effects of THC just like you would with butter. While cannabis milk is refreshing to drink by itself, you can also use it to enhance various other kinds of drinks.
You might want to use cannabis milk to make some delicious THC-infused milkshakes. It can also be used for hot drinks such as tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Plus, you’ll find plenty of other creative ways to use it. Here’s how to make cannabis-infused milk.
Ingredients:
- 500ml of full-fat milk
- 2-3 grams of cannabis flower
Step 1: You can use any cannabis flower strain you like to make cannabis milk. However, you’ll need to decarboxylate it first. Preheat your oven to 245°F (120°C) and spread your cannabis across a baking tray covered in parchment paper. You don’t need to grind your cannabis – just break it into chunks.
Step 2: Place your tray in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes. You might want to shake the tray after around 15 to 20 minutes to ensure the buds are heated evenly. After 30 to 40 minutes, take the tray out of the oven and leave it on the side to cool.
Step 3: Grind your decarboxylated cannabis and add 500ml of full-fat milk to a saucepan on low heat. Add the ground cannabis to your saucepan and let it simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. During this time, the THC will bind to the milk.
Step 4: Your cannabis milk should now be ready. Simply strain it into a bottle or jar to separate the liquid from any excess cannabis. You can then store it in the fridge and use a serving whenever you need to.
2. Cannabis-Infused Oreo Milkshake
Want something delicious and incredibly potent? Try making a cannabis-infused Oreo milkshake. This thick and refreshing concoction is sure to satisfy your taste buds while simultaneously getting you high.
You can make a cannabis Oreo milkshake using cannabis-infused milk. Alternatively, you can make your Oreo milkshake first and simply add your desired dose of THC tincture. Either way, you’re sure to enjoy the results. Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients:
- 6-8 Oreo cookies
- 2-3 cups of cannabis milk (or full-fat milk with THC tincture)
- 2 cups of ice cream
- Whipped cream
Step 1: Add 2-3 cups of cannabis milk to a blender. If you don’t have cannabis milk, you can add 2-3 cups of full-fat milk and infuse it with your desired dosage of THC tincture.
Step 2: Next, add 2 cups of ice cream. You can use any kind of flavor you like, but vanilla ice cream goes particularly well with this recipe.
Step 3: Top the blender off with some Oreo cookies. You can use as many as you want, depending on how thick and crunchy you want your milkshake to be. We recommend using between 6 and 8.
Step 4: Now you’ve added your ingredients, blend them thoroughly until you get a smooth, creamy mixture. If you want your milkshake to be thicker, add more ice cream and blend again. If you want it to be smoother, add more milk.
Step 5: Your cannabis Oreo milkshake is now ready to drink. Pour it into a glass and top it off with some whipped cream. Add a straw or spoon and enjoy the results.
3. Cannabis-Infused Hot Chocolate
Another one of the best cannabis-infused drinks that everyone should try is cannabis hot chocolate. Drinking this at nighttime will soothe your body, calm your nerves, and make it easy to get a long night of relaxing sleep. With that said, some people enjoy its delicious taste and relaxing effects during the day.
You can make cannabis-infused hot chocolate using cannabis milk or simply use regular milk and add a dose of THC tincture later.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of cannabis milk (or regular milk with THC tincture)
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- Whipped cream
- Mini marshmallows
Step 1: Start by adding ¼ cup of your milk to a saucepan on low heat. If you’re not using cannabis milk, you can use regular milk (any kind) and add a dose of THC tincture once you’ve finished making your hot chocolate.
Step 2: Add your cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt to your milk and let the mixture simmer at low heat. Whisk the mixture thoroughly while it simmers until the sugar and cocoa powder have fully dissolved.
Step 3: Pour the rest of your milk into the saucepan and continue to mix thoroughly for a minute or so. You should end up with a warm, chocolatey mixture.
Step 4: Once you’re satisfied with the texture of your hot chocolate, pour it into a mug. If you didn’t use cannabis milk, you can add a dose of THC tincture now. You can also add some whipped cream and mini marshmallows to enhance the taste. Now, simply drink your mug of cannabis hot chocolate and enjoy the effects.
4. Cannabis-Infused Tropical Smoothie
Fruit smoothies are ideal for getting a few of your five-a-day and enhancing your health. And if you want some extra health benefits, try enhancing your next smoothie with the effects of cannabis.

- Ice cubes
Step 1: Start by adding 1 cup of milk to a blender. If you don’t have cannabis milk, you can use regular milk and infuse your smoothie with the effects of cannabis by using THC tincture. Alternatively, you can use CBD tincture to make a refreshing non-psychoactive beverage.
Step 2: Add a handful of ice cubes along with 1 large banana, 1 cup of mango chunks, and 1 cup of pineapple chunks. You might want to add some extra milk or water depending on how smooth or thick you want your smoothie to be.
Step 3: Blend your ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth. You might want to use a spoon to break apart some of your fruits. Once you’re satisfied, pour the mixture into a glass and enjoy your delicious cannabis-infused tropical smoothie.

You can also make this in mocktail form. Simply switch the rum for allspice syrup and you’ll still have a delicious beverage without the effects of alcohol.
Ingredients:

- ¾ ounces of lime juice

Step 1: Add a handful of ice cubes to a blender along with your rum, simple syrup, lime juice, and frozen strawberries.
Step 2: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth. Add more simple syrup if you want the mixture to be smoother and more strawberries if you want a thicker daiquiri.
Step 3: Infuse your strawberry daiquiri with cannabis by adding a dose of THC tincture. Alternatively, you can add a dose of CBD tincture if you’d prefer to avoid the psychoactive effects of THC.
