Cannabis-flavored foods and beverages that won’t get you high

Stoney Negroni Available at Gracias Madre, 8905 Melrose Ave., West Hollywood, www. graciasmadreweho.com, and Cafe Gratitude, 1617 Westcliff Drive, Newport Beach (Orange County), www.cafegratitude.com

Gracias Madre became the first California restaurant to openly serve CBD cocktails last summer when bar director Jason Eisner introduced three, including this one. He mixes Union gin, Contratto Aperitif and Carpano Antica vermouth, flavoring the mix with orange oil and Green Crack terpene (“it’s really upbeat and smells like a sativa”), then carbonates the cocktail. The $20 drink does contain 10 milligrams of CBD, which Eisner says is onethird of a medical dose.

Psycho Donuts’ 420 Doughnuts Sold for special occasions at the Guild, 2943 Daylight Way, San Jose, www. guildsj.com, $N/A

For the April 20, 2017, 420 celebrations, Claudio Miranda of Guild Extracts commissioned the popular experimental doughnut shop Psycho Donuts to make 800 vanilla cake doughnuts frosted with icing flavored with caramel and the aroma of the cannabis varietal called Train Wreck to give away at the lab’s associated dispensary, fhe Guild. Webster Granger, owner of the doughnut shop, says he loved the minty, clean flavor of the extract. Unfortunately, he doesn’t yet have plans to stock the 420 variety in his shops.

Baby hemp leaves From JD Farms, www.jd farmsusa.com, available soon at select restaurants in New York City, $N/A

Last year, JD Farms became licensed to grow industrial hemp on its organic upstate New York farm, and discovered that its baby hemp leaves, which contain no THC, deliver a bitter but herbaceous kick. The farm began distributing them this spring to New York City chefs. “They’re incredible,” says Andrew Whitcomb of Restaurant Norman in Brooklyn, who is beginning to use them in salads. “Very floral and herbal. They don’t smell like weed. They smell like an herb field.”

Humboldt’s Finest Humboldt Distillery, Fortuna (Humboldt County, www.humboldtdistillery. com; available at bars and liquor stores across the country, $29.99

People have been joking with Abe Stevens, owner of Humboldt Distillery, about making cannabis vodka since he founded his business four years ago. Last year, he located a Northern California farm growing legal, food-grade hemp leaves, so he began infusing them into organic vodka. He has produced 1,400 cases. “If someone’s asking for a recommendation on how to use it, I would suggest they try it in place of gin,” he says. Bartenders appreciate its complex aroma, and so do drinkers, particularly in states with no legal cannabis, such as Georgia and Mississippi.
