Before we wrap up, here are a few tips to help you make the perfect THC mocktail at home:
Choose the Right Product
There are many different cannabis products available on the market, including tinctures, oils, and syrups. When choosing a product for your mocktail, make sure to read the label carefully and choose one that is compatible with the drink you want to make.
Be Mindful of Dosage
