Recipe: ‘The Dude’ is a cannabis-infused, DIY frappé-flavored drink

Cannabis and coffee – for many, it’s a heavenly combination. If that sounds like you, then this delicious twist on cannabis-infused iced coffee is for you.

Fuse, a brand of Emerald Health Therapeutics, has partnered with Andrew Freedman, the cannabis sommelier himself, to develop drink recipes to celebrate the launch of their 10ml nano-shots.

When asked about the inspiration behind The Dude, Freedman said of Leafly: “Immediately after my first sip of the frappé nano shot, The Big Lebowski came to mind. I tried a non-alcoholic round with a White Russian, with a little inspiration from the hometown of ‘The Shaft’, a Calgary favorite. “

“In the spirit of this cocktail’s inspiration, you can stir it with your finger. The guy stays. ”

Fuse Nano Shots are rolling out across Canada and hope to be in all of the provinces in the near future. Flavors are currently available in British Columbia, Manitoba, and Alberta.
