Ways to make green dragon more "drinkable"

[Coelho]

Well... during all my attempts of making green dragon, the hardest thing was to drink it. Its taste is not good, and the alcohol in it only makes it far worse. I never found anything which i could mix it in to make it moke drinkable... coke, sprite, fanta, everything turns awful when mixed with green dragon.
So, during my last experience with green dragon, i thought a mixture to make it more drinkable.
I thought of mixing it with water, ice, LOTS of sugar, and something with taste of mint. This mixture would be mixed with the green dragon, about 10 parts of it for one of green dragon. The sugar would (try to) cover the bitter taste of it, and the ice and mint would cover the taste of alcohol.
Also it would be very nice to mix something to make it coloured. The color of green dragon when mixed in any drink is not nice... its murky, cloudy and very evil-looking... so i thought mixing a thing with a very strong emerald green tint, so the drink would look like deep green.
As i have not the needed ingredients to try it, i let it for you to make the experience. Also, if you know any other way to make the green dragon more "drinkable", please post here! :thumbsup:

I just take a shot. It tastes bad, but just down it quick, or mix with other alcohol then drink. I've always found that Coke and Pepsi blocks other tastes best.

What the heck is green dragon and how do you make it?

[killerweed420]

I mix mine with OJ and cranberry juice. It takes good to me. I don't like sugary mixes with my alcohol,thats what usually gives you the hangover. I never get hangovers. But them I'm a professional drunk too.:thumbsup:

Try teas or juices as they are organic and most of the ingredients in your GD should be organic aswell. Making sense so far? good. Also I'd have to say that teas are easy to swallow (for me) and most juices are impossibly easy to drink. I've already made my own "cannabis tea" which was ok and I mixed it with chamomile tea and was even better even without sugar. I guess this is all opinion based and in my opinion be a man take it in shots or just mix it with apple cider or red tea (favorite tea yes!).

I suggest Ribenia! Everyone loves a bit of ribenia.

I have found glycerin has a much better taste! I'v only made one glycerin batch but i'm pretty satisfied. I will say that i think the dragon is stronger.But i'd rather take a drop more of something that tasted better. But when i did do dragon i used a spray bottle and sprayed in my mouth and left it there for a few minutes then washed it down.

Coelho, I know you don't like the taste of alcohol, so most of my suggestions are not going to be very helpful to you. But for the rest, Green Dragon mixes into other alcoholic beverages very well.

I don't like to measure my Green Dragon out with an eyedropper, so I mix the final tincture into more Everclear, sugar and water to make a liqueur that has a strong THC dose in a 1-ounce shot of liqueur. I like it because I'm sure there is enough alcohol to transport the THC effectively. It makes it easy to measure and easy to drink. I'm OK with the flavor, but not everyone likes it.

If you mix a shot of the liqueur with a shot of green Creme de Menthe, the flavor is completely covered by the mint. Actually, Coelho, green Creme de Menthe is almost exactly what you were describing, except it does have some alcohol --- sugar, mint, alcohol and a deep green color, and it often has a very small amount of glycerine for better silkier "mouth feel." The alcohol flavor is not strong, so you might want to give that a try sometime --- very nice and minty and refreshing.

I've added my GD liqueur to coffee with cream and sugar, sort of like an Irish coffee --- very good. And I've added it to black tea with lemon and honey --- also very nice. Both of them seem to absorb the grassy flavor nicely.

Where can i get some of this "Creme de Menthe"?

Where can i get some of this "Creme de Menthe"?

It's available in most liquor stores here in the US. It's a liqueur (sweetened and flavored alcoholic beverage that is a bit dessert-like, not a full-strength distilled spirit) so it would be with things like Kahlua, Cointreau, Frangelico, Benedictine, and the other flavored and sweetened liqueurs. There is usually a dark emerald green version and a clear colorless version, but they taste exactly the same. Green Dragon just seems to disappear into the dark green version --- I've never tried it with the other kind.

If you can't find it in stores, there are a lot of recipes on the internet. I've never made it, but they all looked very simple to me --- a lot of fresh mint leaves (or some mint extract), more sugar than you would think, Everclear (grain alcohol) or vodka, and then usually some water to get the concentration correct. Optionally, some recipes use some food coloring to add color, and some use some very small amount of glycerine to add the right texture.

When I make Green Dragon, I usually convert the concentrated tincture into a liqueur. And the recipe I use is loosely based on those I saw for Creme de Menthe --- sugar, alcohol, and water. It still never tastes very good. Now that I know how well it mixes into Creme de Menthe, in the future I will probably just skip making my own liqueur and add it directly into a bottle of Creme de Menthe.
