Cannabis-infused Champagne

If there's one thing that can't be missing from your NYE celebration, it's Champagne. Below, we'll teach you how to make mouth-watering alcohol-free cannabis Champagne!
Ingredients

4. Fill each Champagne flute roughly halfway with fruit pieces.

5. Drop your desired amount of cannabis tincture into each flute and fill it with non-alcoholic Champagne.
