Cuisine: THC beverage
Ingredients: 1 can Squier Pink Pineapple (5mg THC); 0.25 oz Apple cider vinegar; 0.25 oz Simple syrup; 1 Lime wedge; A full glass Ice

Total THC
Servings: 1

Steps

Stir the vinegar and syrup together in the bottom of the glass until the syrup dissolves.
Fill the glass with ice, then pour the can down the side so you keep the carbonation.
Squeeze the lime in and drop it.

Why it works

Pineapple on its own goes sweet fast, and sweet is what makes a low-dose drink taste like something you are tolerating rather than enjoying. A quarter ounce of vinegar is a shrub in miniature: it adds an acidic edge that keeps the fruit tasting like fruit instead of syrup, and it does it without the citrus juice that would blur the pineapple.
