Welcome back to my guide for the perfect weed-based New Year’s Eve party. In this part we are going to be looking at some fantastic edible and drink options that you could serve to your guests. This is perfect for those who love going above and beyond when hosting. Also for those who just love spending their time in the kitchen. The other amazing aspect of serving cannabis food and drink is that you can get everyone high without your flat or house stinking of smoke! 

 

New Year’s Punch 

 

So you can make pretty much any kind of punch with a little forward planning. Decarboxylated weed can be infused with pretty much any liquid and if you start now you should have plenty of time before New Year’s Eve. 

So we are going to focus first on how you make your cannabis infused juices for your alcohol free punch. You can add booze if you want but honestly it won’t be for everyone. 

Honestly you can directly infuse your juice but it might be easier to just go ahead and make your own tincture. Then you can put as many droplets as you like into the punch and guests have the option of making theirs stronger if necessary. 

 

To make your tincture just decarboxylate your weed and put it into a mason jar with some food grade ethanol. The cannabis that you put in needs to be fully covered by the alcohol. Stir well and store in a cool dry place for a few weeks and make sure you shake it often. Filter it through cheesecloth into a glass bottle with a dropper. 

 

Now for your New Year’s Eve punch with a little extra punch. 

 

You will need:

 

  • Cranberry Juice
  • Orange Juice 
  • Lemon Juice 
  • Lemonade 
  • Ice 
  • Tincture 

 

This is a really yummy and refreshing combination of flavours with that delicious extra fizz to it. Combine as much as you like of the cranberry and orange juice as you like, it’s totally up to your taste. Then just put in a little of the lemon juice because it can be overpowering but it adds a nice brightness to it. Pour into a bowl over ice and then slowly add your lemonade. If you want it to be kitsch and 80s throw in some large, round lemon slices. Then you can put in as many drops of tincture as you like. I would probably make yourself a glass and figure out how much you want per serving. 

 

Stoner Fondue  

 

Did you know you can make weed cheese? I sure didn’t. 

 

You will need: 

 

  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 cup Cannabis Milk (which is very easy to make just google it) 
  • 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Cheese (probably something that melts well like cheddars) 
  • Pinch Salt 
  • Pinch Cayenne Pepper

 

Melt your butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour like you’re making a roux. Very slowly add your cannabis milk and keep moving until it is totally lump free. Then pour in your cheese, very like making a cheese sauce. Stir in your paprika and salt then you can serve it right away. It’s kind of like a fondue meets a cheese dip and it’s absolutely delicious with some lightly toasted crusty bread. 

 

Cheese Cake 

 

I’m really into cheese now so let’s make something sweet, delicious and easy that most people will go crazy for. 

 

You will need: 

 

  • 75g Butter
  • 250g Shortbread 
  • 300g Cream Cheese
  • 250g Mascarpone 
  • 300ml Cannabis Double Cream (you can use the milk technique to make cannabis cream.)
  • ½ can Caramel 
  • 40g Cocoa Powder 
  • 50g Dark Chocolate 

 

Use butter to line the tin you’ll be using for your cake. Smash your biscuits into fine crumbs, if you have a food processor then great but if you don’t just smash ‘em with a rolling pin. Throw these boys into the tin, squish them down firmly, and pop them in the fridge. 

 

Now just mix your mascarpone, your cream cheese and your cocoa with the icing sugar until it’s lovely and smooth. Then in another bowl whisk your cannabis cream until it starts to stiffen. Fold it into your cheese mixture before covering your biscuit base and putting it back into the fridge. You want it to stay in the fridge for about an hour. 

 

Next let’s get that caramel nice and warmed up in a pan. Don’t overhead it but just warm enough that you can spread it properly. Spread the caramel over the top of your cheesecake and put it back into the fridge. 

 

Finally we are going to take that dark chocolate and melt it in a glass bowl in the microwave or you can do it over a bain marie if you’re feeling posh. Take your melted chocolate and drizzle it over your cheesecake. Then if you like you can decorate but that’s pretty much it. Put it back in the fridge until you want to serve it, maybe shove some sparklers in there, do it up. 

 

Gummies

 

Gummies are a fantastic thing to have available at a party so here is a nice easy gummy recipe that your guests will love. 

 

In order to make your gummies you’ll need to make some cannabis coconut oil which you’ll be able to find instructions for all over the internet or in some of our previous articles. It’s very easy and doesn’t take too long. 

 

You will need: 

 

  • ½ cup Cannabis Coconut Oil 
  • A Packet of Flavoured Gelatin (Maybe use veggie if you aren’t sure.) 
  • 2 tbsp Unflavoured Gelatin 
  • ½ tbsp soy lecithin 
  • ½ cup Cold Water 

 

Put the soy lecithin, the oil and the water into a pot on a low heat. Let the coconut oil completely melt into the liquid and then add in both of your gelatins. 

Stir it slowly and constantly, keeping it on the heat for 10 – 15 minutes. Be very careful that it doesn’t come to a boil. 

Strain the mixture through an extremely fine sieve to make sure you don’t end up with any lumps. 

Transfer your mix into some gelatin moulds as quickly as you can, a lot of people say you should use a dropper. 

Then you just pop that into the freezer for 20 – 25 minutes and there you are. Perfect cannabis edible gummies.

Perfect Stoner New Year’s Party: Part 1

Since we are in that section of time where this year has the audacity to end even though I swear it literally just started, it’s time to start getting some New Year’s Eve plans together. If you and your friends enjoy a smoke there are better ways that you can add this into your celebration of the New Year in a more fun way than just rolling a joint. There are tons of fun things you can make such as food and drinks. You can plan lots of weed-friendly activities and if you have some real stoner buffs in the group maybe it could be fun to put some games and quizzes together. I’ll even have a look at the best strains to smoke at your party and the best ways that you can prepare your home for your guests. 

 

Best Strains 

 

If you’re feeling generous then maybe you will want to put out a little selection of strains that your guests can enjoy. Almost like a cheese board but for weed, also definitely have a cheese board…obviously. These are thought to be the very best strains for the New Year’s Eve party. 

 

Blue Dream  – This lovely little hybrid is a fantastic party strain. She is long-lasting, cerebral, energetic and generally uplifting. People can get so tired around this time of year. Coming out of huge family Christmas celebrations, dealing with holiday travel, dark and cold weather, just lots of stress. This is a perky strain that has just a touch of that relaxing Indica that will put everyone in a great mood. 

 

Girl Scout Cookies – You’ve likely heard of this strain before, definitely one of the most popular on the market for a long time now. She is another one that is going to bring the mood up but also provide some serious relaxation. If you are having a chill night in with a few friends this is the strain for you. 

 

Green Crack – This baby is essentially cannabis rocket fuel. If you’re having a big, high energy party then this is the perfect strain. It’s cerebral and stimulating with a great social edge. Perfect for those who are already in the party mood and for those who are just exhausted and struggling to get into the spirit. 

 

Bubba Kush – Now this one is definitely a full Indica and any guests partaking should be warned that too much will have them out for the count. However, if they are super stressed, maybe socially anxious, struggling with chilling out for any reason, this is the strain. Just a little bit will take the weight of the world off your shoulders and open you up to a fun and relaxed evening. 

 

Party Preparation 

 

So next we need to figure out what kind of party you are looking to have. It could be anything from a shindig where weed is present to literally weed themed. There are a few things you need to make sure you have sorted out before you start letting your guests in. 

 

Playlist  – Obviously you are going to need a playlist which very much depends on your friend group and the music you are into. Make sure that no matter what the genre you don’t go for any songs that last too long, lyrics are usually a good idea, and plenty of things you know people will recognise. 

It’s New Year’s so no matter what genre you want things that are fun and upbeat. Songs that fit well behind conversation but that people can also dance to. I know it’s tempting to just throw on your usual playlist full of songs you love, but nothing is worse than being high/drunk and suddenly a 7 minutes dark wave instrumental coming on and just destroying the vibe. Go for things everyone will like, not just the genres that you and a couple of others are definitely into. 

 

Alcohol – So this really depends if this is a party full of stoners. Obviously, weed and booze don’t go well together for everyone. Personally I wouldn’t provide alcohol, especially if I’m planning on providing weed, but allow people to bring their own booze especially if they aren’t smoking. 

 

Smoke Station – This can be a really cute addition to your selection of strains. You can provide a mix of skins, tobacco, grinders, maybe some pipes, whatever you like really. Obviously this is completely optional as is providing strains, probably an idea for the wealthier among us. Or it could be cute to make it a potluck, everyone brings their own weed and paraphernalia. 

 

Smoking – Make sure one of the first things you do is ensure that everyone knows the rules about smoking. It can be tough if you live in a flat or you have a lot of people to not end up with your house stinking. If you live in a warmer climate you should ensure windows etc. are open. However, if you are dealing with the cold there are a few things you can do. 

You can put down blankets on all of your furniture so that they can just go into the wash afterwards. 

Maybe limit the number of joints on the go at any one time so that you can minimise the amount of smoke in the room. 

You can also request that people smoke out of certain windows or in certain rooms that have extractor fans such as the kitchen. 

The last thing you want to do is have all of your fabrics smell too strongly or upset your neighbours. 

 

Invites – Keep a close eye on your invite list. You don’t want to have too many people all crammed together if you are going for a weed themed party. Make sure everyone knows to ask if they want to bring anyone and don’t invite hundreds of people thinking that just a few will show up. Too many different people stoned together can be a bit much and if you are providing strains you don’t want it all to vanish before you’ve even started. 

 

Come back next time for part 2 where we have a look at some fantastic party food and drinks!
