Infused Vinegar — The Barrel Stays Clean, the Shrub Carries the Dose
The 60-Second Read: A dosed drinking vinegar (shrub) — fruit, sugar, vinegar, and cannabis tincture shaken into sparkling water. Bright, tangy, sessionable, and precisely dosable by the dropper.
The Science
An alcohol-based tincture mixes cleanly into the acidic shrub base; dilution in sparkling water gives fast-feeling onset and easy titration.
The Infusion
Decarb: 240°F for 40 minutes.
Cannabis tincture: 1/4 cup decarbed flower in 1/2 cup high-proof alcohol; shake daily for 1 week, strain.
Shrub: 1 cup fruit + 1 cup sugar + 1 cup vinegar, macerated 48 hours, strained; add tincture to taste.
Dosing Math
7g flower at 20% THC = ~1,400mg; ~70% tincture efficiency → ~980mg in 1/2 cup (24 tsp) ≈ 41mg per tsp. A 1-tsp shrub serving in sparkling water ≈ 10–40mg depending on tincture ratio — start with 1/4 tsp.
Terpene Pairing
Match the fruit: berry shrubs love myrcene-forward cultivars; citrus shrubs love limonene.
Strain Suggestions
Any quality flower; fruity cultivars complement best.
Dosage & Onset
Tincture drinks onset in 30–60 minutes; wait a full 90 before re-dosing. 21+ only.
