As we soak up the beautiful days of August 2025, there's nothing better than a sophisticated, refreshing beverage to enjoy in the garden or on the patio. Enter the Nowadays Raspberry Garden Tonic — a vibrant, beautifully balanced cannabis cocktail that's as delightful to look at as it is to drink. It's the perfect way to elevate a relaxing afternoon with a touch of fruit and a pleasant cannabis lift.
Featuring Nowadays High Dose: A Potent Foundation
The key to this tonic's satisfying effects is Nowadays High Dose. This innovative, non-alcoholic cannabis spirit is designed for crafting true cocktail experiences at home. Each 1.5-ounce serving delivers a potent and reliable 10mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC from a multi-serving bottle. This dosage provides a noticeable, full-strength effect that is ideal for experienced cannabis consumers looking for a complete "session" in a single, delicious drink. To create this recipe, start with a bottle of Nowadays High Dose.
Why a Raspberry Garden Tonic?
This drink is a fantastic cannabis-infused alternative to a classic Gin & Tonic. The recipe strikes a perfect balance between the sweet and tart flavors of fresh raspberries, the bright acidity of lime juice, and the crisp, slightly bitter finish of good quality tonic water. The muddled raspberries lend a gorgeous ruby color and fresh-from-the-garden taste that makes this drink feel special.
Nowadays Raspberry Garden Tonic Ingredients
Gather these fresh ingredients for your elevated tonic:
- 1.5oz Nowadays High Dose (Provides 10mg THC)
- 4 to 8 Fresh Raspberries (more for a stronger fruit flavor)

How to Create This Cannabis Tonic Recipe
This elegant drink is built right in the glass.
- Muddle the Fruit: In the bottom of a sturdy glass, like a Collins or a large rocks glass, add your fresh raspberries. Use a muddler to gently press and crush the berries to release their vibrant color and juice.
- Add Liquids: Pour the 0.5oz of fresh lime juice and the 1.5oz of Nowadays High Dose directly into the glass over the muddled raspberries.
- Add Ice: Fill the glass generously with fresh ice cubes, all the way to the top.
- Top with Tonic: Slowly pour chilled tonic water over the ice until the glass is full.
- Stir Gently: Take a bar spoon or a straw and stir from the bottom up. One or two gentle turns is all you need to combine the ingredients without losing the fizz.
- Garnish: Drop in a few more fresh raspberries and add a lime wheel to the rim for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve your stunning cannabis tonic recipe immediately!

FAQ
How strong is this 10mg cocktail?
10mg of Delta-9 THC is a standard dose for many regular cannabis consumers and will produce noticeable psychoactive effects. It may be too strong for beginners, who should consider starting with a half-portion.
Can I use frozen raspberries for this recipe?
Yes, you can. It's best to let them thaw for about 10-15 minutes before muddling to make them easier to crush and release their juice.
What is the difference between tonic water and seltzer?
Tonic water contains a compound called quinine, which gives it its signature, slightly bitter taste that pairs beautifully with the sweet fruit. Seltzer is simply carbonated water and will result in a less complex flavor profile.
Can I make this with Nowadays Low Dose instead?
Absolutely. If you use 1.5oz of Nowadays Low Dose, your tonic will contain 5mg of THC, which is a great option for a milder, more sessionable experience.
Where can I buy Nowadays High Dose?
Ethereal Gold Dispensary stocks Nowadays High Dose, ensuring you receive a lab-tested, compliant, and accurately dosed product for your cocktail creations.
