Summertime on Long Island is the perfect environment for a barbecue with your favorite people. Sunny weather and nearby beaches inspire endless summer adventures, and a little cannabis makes every day brighter and more enjoyable. If you’ve been dreaming of a cannabis-infused event, why not throw a canna-BBQ to share with your besties?

You can experiment with summer cannabis recipes, from BBQ sauce and sides to the dessert table, then fill a cooler with the latest and tastiest cannabis-infused drinks. Let’s dive into our summer guide for hosting the ultimate cannabis-infused summer BBQ on Long Island.

Cannabis Ingredients

Start with your cannabis infusion ingredients. While you can start from scratch, it’s also possible to buy large quantities of things like cannabis butter and cases of infused drinks to speed up the process.

• Canna-Butter
• Cannabis Honey
• Cannabis Olive Oil
• Cannabis Tincture
• Cannabis Infused Drinks

Load Up the Cannabis-Infused BBQ Sides

What is the top cannabis-infused BBQ food? It’s the sides? Canna butter is the perfect ingredient to infuse almost all your favorite barbecue sides. Mac ‘n cheese, mashed potatoes, spiced potato wedges, potato salad, pasta salad, baked beans, buttery cornbread, and big slabs of buttered bread are all classic barbecue sides that can make you all warm and fuzzy if prepared with cannabutter.

You can also toss salads with cannabis-infused olive oil or swap in cannabis mayo for the cold salads.

DIY Cannabis Honey BBQ Sauce

If you want to infuse the main course, whip up some cannabis-infused honey barbecue sauce. Cannabis honey is a delicious and popular treat that you can DIY or buy in bottles in the ingredients section of your local Long Island dispensary. You don’t even have to stew up your barbecue sauce. Find a tasty base and blend in your cannabis honey to make it honey BBQ, then slather it on your grilled meats and drown the ribs in it. Then mop it up with delicious chunks of buttery bread.

Stock Up on the Edibles Dessert Table

Of course, no barbecue is complete without dessert, and desserts are the number one choice for cannabis edibles. You can hand-make your brownies and cookie platters using canna butter or buy pre-made, delicious cannabis sweets from the dispensary. Lay out a beautiful spread and watch your munchies-driven BBQ guests go wild with delight.

Stock the Cooler with Cannabis-Infused Drinks

The final touch on your cannabis-infused barbecue is the big icy cooler of drinks. Everyone knows how to fish their favorite beverage from the ice, and it’s become a Long Island summer BBQ tradition. This year, stock up on cannabis-infused drinks. There are tons of fizzy fruit sodas, lemonades, and more. What is the top cannabis-infused drink? It depends on your taste buds! Check your local Long Island dispensary and ask about picking up a few cases instead of the individual cans in the drinks cooler.

You can also make your cannabis drinks, like a big pitcher of cannabis lemonade, to keep your guests hydrated. Just add a few dropper-fulls of a tasty cannabis tincture to give your lemonade that kick that will have everyone feeling warm and fuzzy.

Provide Non-Cannabis Options and Clear Labels

Last but not least, remember that a little bit of edible goes a long way. Choosing to infuse just one or two dishes in every category will have everyone feeling their summer best. Clearly label which platters, drinks, and snacks are cannabis-infused, and let your guests find their balance between infused and non-infused foods. This will ensure everyone stays pleasantly baked and the party can last all night.
