How to Craft This Stranger Things Cocktail
Get your cocktail shaker ready for this enchanting creation, which is as easy to make as it is mysterious.
- Prep Your Glass: Pour a small amount of chamoy onto a plate and black rock salt onto another. Dip the rim of a rocks glass or coupe first into the chamoy, then gently into the salt to create a dramatic, flavorful rim. Set the glass aside. This dark, textured rim is your gateway to the Upside Down.
- Muddle the Berries: In the bottom of a cocktail shaker, add the 5 fresh blackberries. Use a muddler to gently press and crush them, releasing their deep purple juice and pulp—like the ominous shadows within the alternate dimension.
- Combine & Shake: Add the 1.5oz of Nowadays High Dose, 1.5oz of pomegranate juice, and 0.5oz of fresh lime juice to the shaker. Fill the shaker with ice.
- Shake Well: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled.
- Strain and Serve: Fill your prepared glass with fresh ice. Strain the deep, dark mixture from the shaker into the glass. The rich, dark color is reminiscent of the mysterious realm.
- Garnish: Garnish with a fresh sprig of thyme and a couple of whole blackberries. The thyme adds an earthy, slightly eerie touch, fitting for an encounter with the unknown.
- Serve your Upside Down Bramble immediately.

FAQ
How strong is this 10mg THC cocktail?
10mg of Delta-9 THC is a standard dose for many regular cannabis consumers and will produce noticeable psychoactive effects. We do not recommend it for beginners.
What is chamoy and black rock salt?
Chamoy is a savory condiment from Mexico made from pickled fruit, chilis, and lime—it's salty, sweet, sour, and spicy. Black rock salt (or black lava salt) has a striking color and can have a subtle, earthy flavor. They create a unique and beautiful rim that hints at something otherworldly.
Can I use frozen blackberries?
Yes, absolutely. Let them thaw for a few minutes before muddling so they are soft enough to release their juice.

Yes. You can substitute Nowadays High Dose with 1.5oz of Nowadays Low Dose for a milder 5mg THC version of The Upside Down Bramble.
