From the chef: When I think of Thanksgiving mornings, Bloody Marys are top of mind. What better way to get the holiday festivities started? Oh, wait–cannabis! This Smoky Green Bloody Mary is made with roasted tomatillos, tomatoes, and jalapeños for a kick in the taste buds. For those looking for an alcohol-free mocktail, skip the liquor and add a dropper-full of Chemistry’s High THCA Sweet Retreat. This thoughtful blend of non-intoxicating THCA alongside a micro-dose of THC has been known to deliver relief from a myriad of minor aches, pains and inflammation without the high. If you’re looking for a boozy start to the day, try a shot of smoky mezcal with this bloody mary mix instead of the traditional vodka.
