Planning the Menu

Creating a well-balanced menu is key to a successful cannabis dining experience. Here’s a three-course meal you might want to prepare:

• Appetizer: Whipped Ricotta and Grilled Focaccia Bread
  • Ingredients: Ricotta, cannabis infused local honey, chopped pistachios, sea salt, lemon, sea salt butter, loaf of focaccia & edible flowers 
  • Instructions: Zest the lemon and then juice. Whip together the ricotta a couple pinches of lemon zest and a pinch of sea salt. Top with chopped pistachios, drizzle with infused local honey and finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and a couple of edible flowers. Slice the focaccia loaf into long strips, butter and grill. Serve the grilled focaccia with the whipped ricotta. 

• Main Dish: Grilled Ribeye with Cannabis-Infused Garlic and French Fries with Sea Salt and Herbs de Provence
  • Ingredients: Bone-In Ribeye, Infused cannabis butter, fresh garlic, oregano, sea salt, pepper, russet potatoes, herbes de provence.
  • Instructions: Let the rib-eye rest for 30 min and generously season the rib-eye with sea salt and pepper and grill to desired temperature, top with cannabis infused garlic and herb butter and let rest for at least 10 min before slicing. Wash the russet potatoes and slice into french fries, soak in cold water and sea salt and then rinse, drain and pat dry. Fry the french fries and when done to desired crispiness immediately remove from the oil and toss in sea salt and Herbs de Provence. 

• Dessert: Cannabis-Infused Chocolate Mousse
  • Ingredients: Dark chocolate, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cannabis-infused coconut oil, fresh raspberries & powdered sugar.
  • Instructions: Melt dark chocolate and mix with cannabis-infused coconut oil. Whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract, then fold into the chocolate mixture. Chill until set and serve with a garnish of fresh berries and sifted powdered sugar.

Setting the Mood

• Setting the Table: Use elegant tableware and fresh flowers to create a sophisticated dining environment. Candlelight adds a warm, inviting glow.

• Music: Curate a playlist of soft, relaxing music to enhance the dining experience without overwhelming conversation.
• Education: Provide your guests with information about each dish and the cannabis strain used. This can be in the form of a printed menu or a brief introduction before each course.
• Dosage: Ensure that the dosage is appropriate for all guests, especially if some are new to cannabis. It’s better to start with a lower dose and allow guests to consume more if they’re comfortable.

Final Tips for a Five-Star At-Home Cannabis Dining Experience

• Dosage: You may want to ensure that the meal is at 5mg or less per serving. Infusing one component and limiting how you use it within each dish could be a way to oversee the serving size and dosage. You may choose to just infuse one course to ensure responsible dosage and consumption by guests. 
• Hydration: Keep plenty of water available to ensure guests stay hydrated throughout the evening.
• Pacing: Allow time between courses to let guests enjoy the effects of the cannabis and savor each dish. Also provide non-infused options with each course to allow your guests the choice on whether or not to enjoy the course without cannabis. It is important to remember and to remind your guests that the onset time for edibles may be up to 2+ hours, and to allow the proper onset time for their individual desired effects to take place. 
• Comfort: Provide comfortable seating and consider having a cozy area for guests to relax after the meal.
• Safety: Ensure that guests have a safe way to get home. Consider arranging rideshares or having designated drivers – remind your guests that it is against the law to drive or operate heavy machinery while under the influence of cannabis. 

With the right ingredients, a little creativity, and a touch of sophistication, you can elevate your palate and create a truly memorable cannabis dining experience. Are you ready to create your own buzzworthy bites?
