How to Make Cannabis Infused Drinks: The Slow-jito

4 min read Updated September 22, 2026 Edibles
Using the NOIDS Herb Lab? The Herb Lab glass is 350 ml to the brim, and the MAX line is at 250 ml. Work to the MAX line, never the brim: the space above it is for the lid, the filter set and for the mixture to move as it heats. Keep your oil or butter and the decarbed herb together below the 250 ml line. For larger quantities, run it in batches rather than overfilling the glass.

To make a cannabis-infused drink, infuse 2 g of decarboxylated cannabis into a syrup of honey, glycerin and water, then shake the syrup with lime juice, mint and ice and top with club soda. Sunny days call for something fresh and cool. The Slow-jito is a simple, non-alcoholic cannabis-infused soft drink perfect for relaxing and enjoying your herbs in a light, refreshing way.

Difficulty Level: Easy
Time Needed: 20 minutes prep, plus infusion time

What You’ll Get

A bright, citrusy infused cocktail that’s easy to make and easy to sip, perfect for hot days or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 grams of your favorite cannabis or herbal blend
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) food-grade vegetable glycerin
  • 2 cups (480 ml) water
  • 1 cup (340 g) honey
  • 0.5 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 6 fresh mint leaves
  • Ice cubes or crushed ice
  • Club soda, to top off

Equipment

  • herb cooker
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Cocktail glasses

How It’s Done

1. Decarboxylate Your Herb

Activate your cannabis or herbs by decarboxylating them first. This process turns inactive THCA or CBDA into active THC or CBD, making your infusion effective. Use your herb cooker for precise, odor-controlled decarboxylation.

2. Make Infused Simple Syrup

Add your decarboxylated herb, honey, vegetable glycerin, and water to the POT glass. Select the infusion setting tailored for your herbs and let the POT infuse a rich, flavorful syrup with activated cannabinoids.

3. Mix It Up

In a cocktail shaker, muddle the infused syrup with fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and ice until well combined.

4. Add the Fizz

Top off the mixture with club soda in the shaker. Stir gently, then pour into prepared cocktail glasses.

5. Enjoy

Sip your refreshing Slow-jito slowly and enjoy the balance of cooling mint, tangy lime, and subtle cannabis infusion.

Pro Tips

  • Customize your herbs: Try different terpene-rich strains or add other herbs like basil or rosemary to adjust the flavor and effect.
  • Adjust sweetness: Add more or less honey or glycerin depending on your taste.
  • Infusion time: Longer infusion in the POT yields stronger syrup; keep that in mind for dosing.

Why Use the herb cooker?

The POT simplifies the process by combining accurate decarboxylation and infusion in one device, removing guesswork and delivering consistent potency every time.
