Edibles effects? (kbin.social)

Is there a way to seek out certain edibles effects like how is done with different flower strains for smoking? It seems like the edibles market in Arizona is far less diverse than flower and I'm wondering if it has to do with the effects of edibles in general? I generally want a product that will energize me and help with the creakyness I've developed over the years. I basically never seek out a mellowing high or a couch lock. Thank you for any help 😁

My partner and I accidentally discovered "the trifecta" of alcohol, weed, and caffeine. But it's a careful balance, you don't want a lot of any one thing.

The idea is just enough alcohol to loosen up but not enough to get drunk, a bit of weed to ground you but not so much that it's overwhelming, and caffeine to offset the sleepiness and brain fog. For us it means two espresso cocktails and half a small joint.

Obviously not something you want to do often, but ngl it's nice

This is my casual cocktail of substances when out partying, hit on the vape cart, a redbull vodka to start, then just booze as the night goes on.

But it's funny you say this because I've been thinking about trying some of these popular espresso cocktails I've been seeing. I just made myself a "whoo! Fuckin Friday!" pot of very nice coffee and put a splash of amaretto in there and might spark up when the boytoy gets home, but you got any recommendations for espresso cocktails to make at home?

I'm a big fan of "coffee and liquor of choice".

Espresso cocktails are better made with, well, espresso imo. Licor 43 is my absolute favorite spirit to pair with coffee, it's a sweet vanilla caramel flavored liquor. I like to mix it 50/50 with whiskey to increase the alcohol content without sacrificing flavor. Irish cream is also a well known favorite.
