Ways to make green dragon more "drinkable"

[Coelho]

No kidding- you too? That's funny! Last time I made Green Dragon, I took some dried mint from my garden and added that to the mix- the oils are soluble in alcohol so my GD tastes minty-rummy. Try it in a Mojito...

Thats a nice idea! Surely it would be more practical than grinding the drops one by one... and maybe the taste be even better, if the mint were strong enough... i never did drink this Mojito, but probably i will try this recipe with mint leaves next time i make some GD. :thumbsup:

I just took a shot of my dragon brandy and it is the nastiest shit I've ever tasted. I chased it with Coke and it was barely tolerable. hahaha I'll never use brandy for this again. I don't know what I was thinking.

I hope it's potent, though. It's about 1.5 cups of brandy and 2-3 grams of powdered leaf, stem and kief, if I remember correctly. It sat for several weeks and I just remembered it today.

Let's hope it's good. :thumbsup:

Coelho, how concentrated is your GD? I make mine with 75.5% ethanol (151 everclear); I would guess that the proof of the finished stuff is even lower (more alc than water would evaporate during the simmering wouldn't it?), & the dose is 1-3 milliliters.

Even if it's very high proof, I don't have much of a problem hiding the taste of half a teaspoon of the stuff. But then I drink, & I like the taste of mj.

I did make double-barrel dragon brownies the other day - made a batch of brownies with cannabutter as usual, & while they were cooling I drizzled a dropperful of GD on each brownie. Worked a treat & tasted great.

Which, I know, isn't very responsive to a question about drinking the Dragon...

I can not stand the taste! I put mine in capsules. I have noticed that white bread makes a good chaser it somehows neutralizes the taste. I have always heard that you take vit C to sober up quicker.

before i started making capsules i made green dragon a few times... used to put it in my coffee. didnt taste great but it sure made the day better :jointsmile:

I've been making/drinking that shit for 35 years. Never heard it called green dragon by anyone but whatever.

IMO the easiest way to drink it is a popper. Just need a 4 or 5 oz glass and you pour in your desired amount of the 151/oil solution and then pour in 2 ounces of Sprite, 7-up, Ginger Ale or what ever and then while in a sitting position place your hand over the mouth of the glass while holding the glass in your other hand and slam the glass down on your knee or thigh and the 7-up will explode into a glass of carbonated fizz which you toss down pretty much instantly. Don't really taste much of anything when you do that. It's quick and simple.

We do a lot of poppers including out in the parking lot before going into concerts. With a little practice its easy to do them with plastic throw away glasses using A&W root beer cause it fizzes up with a relatively light hit.

My first reaction was to say just take it as a shot and get it over with (this is what I normally do). I have mixed it into several different drinks and it always comes out tasting awful. But I really like the idea of using creme de menthe to cover up the awful bitter taste. When my next batch is finished I am going to try this method
