THE SMOKED CATALYST
Forget drop-in tinctures. Engineered for the ritual.
The recipe is locked. Here is the step-by-step chemistry behind a master batch of the Old Fashioned Catalyst, scaled with extra botanical tea to seamlessly serve both your precision-infused version and your clean mocktails from the same line.
MASTER INGREDIENTS
16 oz Pure Water (Brewed for extra tea)
2 oz Liquid Honey
1 g Concentrate (e.g., 80% Purity)
1 tsp Sunflower Lecithin
Botanicals: Lapsang Souchong Tea, Fresh Ginger, Cinnamon Sticks
Garnish: Candied Orange Wheels & Fresh Citrus Zest
THE METHOD
Honey Infusion: Combine your decarbed concentrate, 2 oz honey, and sunflower lecithin in a sous-vide bath at 140°F–160°F for 1–2 hours to lock in a highly bioavailable lipid matrix.
Botanical Brew: Simmer 16 oz water with the tea, ginger, and cinnamon to extract deep pine-smoke and warmth. Strain and chill.
Double Boiler Bind: Blend 8 oz of chilled tea with your 2 oz sous-vide honey matrix over indirect double-boiler heat until completely homogenized, then chill.
The Pour:
Infused Version: Pour 3 oz of your chilled, homogenized Infused Base over an ice block in a smoked glass.
Mocktail Version: Mix 2 oz of your leftover uninfused tea with 1 oz of standard honey matrix over ice.
Finish both with a candied orange wheel and fresh citrus zest.
DOSAGE MATH (Krazz Precision Calculator)
Run your metrics directly through the Krazz Precision Calculator to dose your menu flawlessly:
Concentrate: 1g (1000mg) at 80% purity = 800mg potential cannabinoids.
Activation Factor: The tool automatically calculates real-world activation conversions (800 mg×0.877), giving you 701.6mg of active compound in your 2 oz honey base.
Precision Dosing: If you map this 2 oz matrix to spread across 50 total units, the calculator locks in exactly 14.03mg per serving. Available Canna-Infused or Non-Infused.

Dosage & Implementation: The Smoked Catalyst
Precision Dosing Math To ensure every serving of The Smoked Catalyst is lab-accurate, use the provided conversion metrics based on your concentrate’s purity.
Step 1: Total Potency: 1000 mg (1g) x 0.80 (Purity) = 800 mg total cannabinoids
Step 2: Activation (THCA to THC Conversion): 800 mg x 0.877 = 701.6 mg active THC
Step 3: Per-Serving Dose: 701.6 mg / 50 servings = 14.03 mg per serving
Operational Workflow (Infused vs. Mocktail) This recipe is engineered for a dual-menu system. Maintaining strict separation during the Pour phase is essential for professional guest service.
The Homogenized Base: Because the infused honey matrix is emulsified with sunflower lecithin, it remains stable. However, always stir your base before the pour to prevent any minor settling.
The Smoked Catalyst (Infused): Pour 3 oz of the homogenized infused base. The lecithin ensures the concentrate is perfectly suspended, providing a consistent experience from the first sip to the last.
The Mocktail (Clean): Mix 2 oz of the leftover uninfused tea with 1 oz of the standard (non-infused) honey matrix. This ensures the flavor profiles of the Lapsang Souchong and ginger remain identical across your entire drink menu, regardless of infusion status.
Pro-Tips for Consistency
Thermal Control: When binding the honey matrix in the double boiler, maintain the 140F–160F range. This temperature is the sweet spot for locking the concentrate into the lipid matrix without burning the honey's delicate sugars.
The Emulsion: The Double Boiler Bind is the most critical step. Whisk until the color is completely uniform. Any visible oil streaks on the surface indicate the emulsion has not fully set; keep whisking until the texture is glossy and monolithic.
Visual Distinction: Since your infused and mocktail versions will look identical, ensure your bar staff uses distinct glassware or garnishes to avoid cross-service.

MASTER INGREDIENTS
Fresh Aromatics: Fresh Apple slices, Mint leaves, Lime wedges.
Base Dilution: 1 oz Fresh Lime Juice.
Liquid Components: Coconut Water, Sprite (or craft lemon-lime soda).
Infused Element: 25ml Master Honey (ensure your infusion is calibrated to your target mg per oz).
THE METHOD
Aromatic Muddle: In a mixing glass, muddle the fresh apple, mint, and lime wedges with the 1 oz of lime juice to release the essential oils and juices.
Master Infusion Integration: Add 25ml of your prepared Master Honey to the muddled mixture. Stir or whisk gently over low indirect heat if necessary to ensure the honey is fully incorporated into the fruit matrix.
Volume Scaling: Add the fruit/honey base to a glass and fill with a mixture of coconut water and lemon-lime soda. Total volume for a standard build should reach approximately 270ml (roughly 9–10 oz).
The Pour: Fill a highball glass with fresh ice. Strain your mixture over the ice, ensuring the aromatics are distributed evenly.
DOSAGE MATH (Mocktail Matrix)
Run your specific batch metrics through the Krazz Precision Calculator to ensure accurate delivery:
Target Potency: 10mg THC per 1 oz serving.
Base Concentration: Your Master Honey should be diluted to achieve the 10mg/oz ratio within the final beverage volume.
Standard Build: Use 1 oz of your prepared infused base to hit exactly 10mg, or scale accordingly based on your client's needs.
Available Canna-Infused or Non-Infused.
Pro-Tip: For the non-infused version, simply swap the 25ml Master Honey for 25ml of standard, non-medicated honey to maintain the exact flavor profile and consistency across both service tiers.
To achieve the 10mg target per drink, your "Master Honey" must be calibrated so that 25ml (approx. 0.85 oz) contains the desired dose.
Step 1: Determine Target Potency: 10mg THC per drink.
Step 2: Calibrate Honey Batch:
If your final honey batch volume is Total-Honey-Volume and your total THC is Total-THC-Dose, ensure the ratio matches:
Potency per oz of honey = Total-THC-Dose / Total-Honey-Volume (in oz)
Step 3: Build Verification: Using 25ml of your Master Honey per serving ensures the consistent 10mg delivery across the entire build.
Step
Action
Tech Note
1. Muddle
Apple, mint, lime, lime juice
Release essential oils before adding the honey.
2. Infuse
Add 25ml Master Honey
Use residual heat if the honey is viscous; stir until clear.
3. Volume Scale
Top with coconut water/soda
Ensure total volume reaches ~270ml for mouthfeel.
4. The Pour
Strain over fresh ice
Double strain to remove fruit sediment for a "velvet" finish.
The Muddle: Use firm pressure on the apple and mint. The goal is to create a fruit-acid paste that binds with the honey.
Temperature Control: If your Master Honey is too thick to incorporate into the cold lime juice, warm the honey separately in a double boiler until fluid, then add to the muddling glass. Never heat the fresh aromatics directly.
Dilution Consistency: Coconut water and lemon-lime soda contain different sugar densities. Ensure you measure your total liquid volume (270ml) consistently; excessive soda will dilute the THC-to-liquid ratio, while too much coconut water may alter the flavor profile.
Service Tiers: To maintain the flavor profile across your menu, keep your non-medicated honey in a squeeze bottle identical to your Master Honey. Ensure your service staff clearly distinguishes the two (e.g., color-coded labels or placement).
The "Velvet" Finish: For the best mouthfeel, ensure the ice is large and solid. Small, wet ice will dilute the cocktail too quickly, causing the honey-infused fruit base to separate at the bottom of the glass.
Quality Control: Taste a "blank" version (non-infused) to ensure your fruit and lime balance is sharp. A sharp, bright mocktail hides the botanical notes of the infusion, creating a smoother drinking experience.
