Here Are The Best Weed Strains To Go With Your Classic Cocktail

Cuba Libre (Rum & Coke)

Just got back from Cuba, and tbh, they need more weed to go with all the Cuba Libres waiting at every corner. On God, I couldn’t say ‘Viva Fidel!’ without somebody handing me a strong rum and soda for my shoutout skills. And after a few Cuba Libres, the budding salsero in you will awaken, and you’ll be sprinkling your pesos on the nearest marimba shaker as your hips sway into honorary Latino identity. Notwithstanding a botched two-step, everyone needs a good canna-buzz balance for this sturdy classic.

For that, we have Blood Orange Kush. Mind you, it’s a rare strain that will require a solid connect and a nearby pillow or futon. This potent flower will, quite effectively, drag you from the waking world into the realm of the Walking Undead. This is for the best, as any overt dancing and rabble-rousing via Cuba Libre will end in a fine or, worse, death by soffrito.

Martini/Gin Martini

Full disclosure: this is a true favorite of mine. Muddled or neat, a martini made with the right vermouth and fresh olives can make your bar order look way classier than the pile of clothes you threw on before you left. Currently, your dude is half-way into a homemade (shaken-not-stirred) Martini and feel like I’m wearing a black tie and cummerbund combo even though I’m in a ratty robe from the late 90s. Since Martinis can’t break my stride or hold me down, I tend to pair them with subtle herbs that will not interfere with the tart, spicy goodness of the liquor.

The least intrusive (but still flavorful) bud to go with your fanciness is Afghan Kush. It’s a strong indica, whose sedative effects will turn you into a real charmer while kicking your low-lid game to the completely uninterested bartender. But fuck it. You’ll be so relaxed, and look so baller, the curve won’t matter.
