Elevate Your Labor Day BBQ with the Perfect Cannabis-Infused Menu
Labor Day celebrates the American workforce.
We know you will make the most of the long Labor Day holiday. If you are favored with clear skies, and otherwise favorable weather, a BBQ is imminent at your house, that of a family member, or friend. Labor Day marks the unofficial goodbye to summer, and what better way to celebrate than with a BBQ.
Make one that stands out from the rest, this year, with a cannabis-infused menu that will leave your guests raving, whether they are omnivore, or vegetarian. Here’s how to create a Labor Day BBQ that’s not just festive, but also deliciously elevated.
Start with Appetizers That Set the Mood
Kick off your Labor Day BBQ with cannabis-infused appetizers that tantalize the taste buds. Think THC-infused guacamole paired with crispy chips, or a cannabis pesto spread on crostini. These bites are perfect for easing into the festivities without overwhelming your guests.
Main Courses That Shine
Your grill is the star of the show, and it’s time to infuse those smoky flavors with cannabis. Try marinating your meats with a THC-infused olive oil or create a cannabis-infused BBQ sauce that can be brushed over ribs, chicken, or even grilled vegetables. The key is to balance the flavors, so the cannabis complements the dish without overpowering it.
Sides That Steal the Spotlight
No BBQ is complete without the perfect sides. Consider a cannabis-infused potato salad, where the dressing carries a subtle hint of weed-infused oil, or a grilled corn on the cob slathered in THC butter. These sides add a creative twist that your guests won’t see coming.
Sweet Endings with a Kick
Dessert is where you can really let your creativity shine. From cannabis-infused brownies to THC-infused fruit tarts, the options are endless. For a refreshing twist, try serving cannabis-infused popsicles or sorbet—perfect for cooling off after a day in the sun.
Pair It with Cannabis-Infused Drinks
Don’t forget the drinks! You might craft a cannabis-infused lemonade or iced tea that can be sipped throughout the day. These drinks are not only refreshing but also provide a subtle way to enjoy cannabis without the need for smoking. You can create, or buy a cannabis tincture, or buy ready-made cannabis drinks at your favorite dispensary.
Dosage and Etiquette
When it comes to cannabis-infused foods, dosage is key. Make sure to clearly label all infused dishes and let your guests know what they’re consuming. It’s also a good idea to have non-infused options available for those who prefer to stay sober or who are new to edibles.
Silly Nice’s Diamond Powder Makes for Easy Infusions
Silly Nice’s Diamond Powder can be used in various dishes after undergoing decarboxylation. This process is critical for converting THCa into the psychoactive THC for use in the body.
Decarboxylate the Powder: Spread the Diamond Powder evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Heat your oven to 220 degrees Fahrenheit (104 degrees Celsius) and allow the powder to bake for 30-40 minutes. This step is essential for activating the THCa.
Infuse Into Oils: Following decarboxylation, infuse the activated powder into a carrier oil such as butter, coconut, or olive oil. Simmer this mixture on a low heat setting for up to an hour, stirring occasionally to ensure the THC does not degrade.
Expand Your Recipe Repertoire: Use the THC-infused oil in your favorite recipes. Whether you’re baking desserts, concocting sauces, or making dressings, the infused oil will add a potent and enjoyable THC element to your dishes, making every meal an experience.
