3 Alcohol-Free Infused Mocktails a Chef Actually Serves (Plus One Full Recipe)

Infused drinks are where nano THC shines. The powder spreads evenly through the glass, so the first sip and the last sip carry the same dose. And I keep every infused drink alcohol-free — alcohol can intensify THC, and that's not a surprise you want to give your guests.

Here are three I serve, and one full recipe to try tonight.

1. Watermelon Refresher (full recipe)

Serves 6 · 5 mg THC per glass · 0.30 g nano powder (100 mg/g)

• 8 cups cubed seedless watermelon
• 1 cup cold water
• ¼ cup fresh lime juice
• 1–2 tbsp honey or agave
• Pinch of salt, fresh mint
• 0.30 g nano THC powder

1. Blend the watermelon, water, honey and salt until smooth. Strain into a pitcher; you should have about 6 cups.
2. Whisk the powder into the lime juice until no specks remain, then stir it into the pitcher for 30 seconds.
3. Chill. Stir again right before serving.
4. Pour 6 equal glasses (about 1 cup each) over ice. Garnish with mint.

2. Frozen Mango Chili Margarita Mocktail

Frozen mango, fresh lime, a chili-lime rim and zero tequila. It looks and tastes like a party — and it's dosed at 5 mg per glass.

3. Iced Chocolate Cold Brew With Vanilla Cold Foam

The coffee-shop drink you already love, made at home: chocolate cold brew with a thick vanilla cold foam on top, at 5 mg per glass.

Hosting tip

Batch the infused base, label the pitcher, and build each drink to order. A dedicated, color-coded pitcher keeps infused and regular drinks from ever crossing paths.
