Delta-8 Irish Eyes


Minty, green, creamy, and with a cherry on top (literally), Irish Eyes is the perfect dessert cocktail to enjoy after a hearty meal. And with Delta-8, this drink is the perfect finish to St. Patrick's Day.

What to Know About Delta-8 and Alcohol

Yeah, we hate sounding like buzzkills, chaperones, or even your parents, but there are a few things you need to consider before mixing Delta-8 with alcohol.  

Go "Lighter" Than Usual 

Alcohol enhances the absorption of THC. In other words, the amount of THC you usually take might feel stronger when mixed into a cocktail.

So start small to gauge how the combination affects you and see where you want to go from there.

Treat Them Like Edibles

Yes, they're drinks. But they're edibles. Well, they will act like edibles since the Delta-8 will have to make its way through your digestive system. So if you don't feel anything right away, wait a bit.

Happy St. Patrick's Day From Hometown Hero

That just about wraps up our Delta-8 cocktail recipes for St. Patrick's Day.

Our Mint and Berry Tinctures provide a great way to add some cannabis-inspired bliss to your spirits without sacrificing any flavor.

But it doesn't have to end with cocktails either.

For example, with its herbal yet oily flavor, our Natural Delta-8 Tincture is an excellent option for topping off some mashed potatoes, Irish soda bread, or even a particular malty yet hoppy stout.

Simply put, with tinctures, just about anything you want can be cannabis-infused.

We hope you enjoy these recipes and from all of us at Hometown Hero, have a happy St. Patrick's Day!
