Okay, so I’ve been trying to make this High Rise beverage thing work, and let me tell you, it’s been a journey. I started out super excited, thinking, “This is going to be a game-changer!” After all, who doesn’t want a tasty drink that can also chill you out or give you a little boost?
I mean, I saw some stuff online about using real fruit and these things called adaptogens, and I was like, “Sign me up!” I wanted something natural, you know? Gluten-free and vegan sounded good, too, since I’m trying to eat healthier. So, I grabbed a bunch of different fruits – strawberries, blueberries, the works. I even found some spring water, feeling all fancy.
The first thing I did was try to make a basic fruit puree. I just threw some strawberries in the blender and pulsed it until it was, well, pureed. Then I added some of that spring water I bought. Easy peasy, right?
Then came the tricky part: figuring out the whole CBD and THC thing. I read somewhere that CBD doesn’t get you “high,” but THC does. And these drinks usually have both? A little THC for a buzz and CBD to mellow it out. I definitely wanted to be careful with the dosing. 2mg of THC was recommended. It sounded so complex, but I just went for it.
- Step 1: Make the Fruit Puree – Blend those fruits until they’re smooth.
- Step 2: Mix with Spring Water – Get that fancy bottled water and mix it with your puree.
- Step 3: Add a Hint of THC/CBD – This is where it gets a bit advanced, just a little is all you need.
- Step 4: Chill and Enjoy– That’s it, kick back and relax with your homemade High Rise.
Then I realized, “Wait a minute, how much of this stuff should I be adding?” It said online that it’s absorbed faster in liquid form. I didn’t want to overdo it. I tried a tiny bit in one batch, and… nothing. I tried a bit more in another… still nothing.
Honestly, my first few attempts were pretty disastrous. One tasted like straight-up grass, another was so weak it was basically just fruit water. I was about ready to give up, but then, I had a breakthrough.
After several failed attempts, I finally started to get the hang of it. I found that the key was really in finding the right balance of fruit, water, and the other stuff. I realized it wasn’t just about following a recipe, but also about experimenting and seeing what worked for me.
I’m still not totally sure I have it completely figured out, but I’m getting there. At least now, I’ve got something that actually tastes good and gives me that chill vibe I was looking for. It’s definitely not perfect, but hey, it’s a work in progress! I may not be ready to sell these on the market, but I’m proud of my little home-brewed high-rise drinks.
