Perfect Cannabis-Infused Punches To Try This Fall

Punches are ideal for this season, and they are easy to make, too. Just combine all the ingredients, stir, chill, and you are good. The best punches are made by layering complementary flavors. Adding terpene-laden cannabis enhances both taste and effect, changing the overall experience of classic punch drinks.

The following drink recipes are adapted to the addition of cannabis tinctures. You may use whichever infused tincture you prefer, but there are a few specific strains which terpenes amplify each drink. If you do not want to make a tincture, check the menus of your local dispensaries.

Cheers to this fall!
