If you’re looking for alternatives to alcohol, this video is all about Willie’s Remedy Social Tonic and whether it actually works in cocktails. We'll do a Willie's Remedy drink review, and talk about how well Willie Nelson's THC infused social tonic works in cocktails.

Willie’s Remedy is a THC social tonic, not alcohol. In this video, I’m using it as a base spirit to make three classic cocktails.
👇 Recipes and chapters below. Let me know which drink you’d try first.
Drink 1: Shotgun Willie’s Margarita (03:08)

Muddled Jalapeño slices
1.5 oz / 45 ml Willie’s Remedy
.75 oz / 22 ml Orange Pineapple juice
1 oz / 30 ml Lime juice
1 oz / 30 ml Agave nectar ( amzn.to/48AIaKf )
Muddle the jalapeño slices in a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients and ice, then shake briefly. Open pour into a Tajín-rimmed glass and garnish with a lime wheel and a jalapeño slice.

Drink 2: Blue Eyes Crying in the Fizz (04:55)
cocktailunderground.com/cocktail-recipes/blue-eyes-crying-in-the-fizz?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=description_link&utm_content=fEaKrAi59aw
1.5 oz / 45 ml Willie’s Remedy
.5 oz / 15 ml Lemon juice
.5 oz / 15 ml Lime juice
1 oz / 30 ml Vanilla syrup
1 oz / 30 ml Heavy cream
Orange flower water
Egg white
top with club soda or something carbonated
Dry shake everything except the soda. Shake again with ice, then strain into a glass and top with club soda or another carbonated beverage.

Drink 3: Red Headed Stranger (08:31)
cocktailunderground.com/cocktail-recipes/red-headed-stranger-thc-cosmo?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=description_link&utm_content=fEaKrAi59aw
1.5 oz / 45 ml Willie’s Remedy
.75 oz / 22 ml N/A triple sec
.75 oz / 22 ml Lime juice
.5 oz / 15 ml Cranberry juice cocktail
Shake with ice and double strain into a coupe or martini glass.
This is my first Dry January, and I’m allowing THC drinks, so I wanted to show how Willie’s Remedy performs both on its own and in mixed drinks.
I also talk briefly about THC drink legislation, whether THC drinks are going to be banned, and why I think we’ll see more regulation rather than these products disappearing altogether.
If you want a side-by-side comparison, I did a Dry January video last year covering alcohol, THC drinks, and zero-proof mocktails. That video is linked below.
