A proper sour built on a dosed spirit rather than a can, so the format finally works.

Total THC
Servings: 1
THC per serving: 5mg

Steps

Measure the shot. This is a multi-serve bottle and the dose is per pour, so the jigger is the only thing standing between one serving and three.
Dry shake the spirit, lemon, syrup and aquafaba with no ice for fifteen seconds.
Add ice and shake again until the tin is too cold to hold.
Double strain into a chilled coupe.

Why it works

Almost every THC cocktail is a canned drink with things added, because the dose lives in the can. A dosed spirit removes that constraint: you can shake it, dilute it properly, and build a drink that has no carbonation to protect. That is why this is the only recipe here where shaking is not a compromise.
