DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosure. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art, that the disclosure may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, structures and devices are shown at block diagram form only in order to avoid obscuring the disclosure.

Various embodiments of the present technology include merging an alcoholic beverage with hemp cannabidiol (CBD). Unlike cannabis CBD, hemp CBD has no psychoactive or euphoric effects. Alcoholic beverages combined with hemp CBD include all types of alcoholic beverages including any varietal of wine, sparkling wine, beer, hard liquor, cocktails, mixed drinks, and the like. Although, cannabis-based CBD or synthetic CBD may be merged with an alcoholic beverage, embodiments of the present technology focus on hemp based CBD. In some instances hemp based CBD is preferred to cannabis-based CBD or synthetic CBD. In various embodiments cannabis-based CBD or synthetic CBD that has a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) level low enough as to not offer any psychoactive or euphoric effects is combined with an alcoholic beverage.

Embodiments of the present technology include a CBD alcoholic beverage with no discernable taste or flavor difference from the alcoholic beverage without CBD. For example, a CBD wine has the same taste, nose (scent) and viscosity a wine without CBD and is consistent with each varietal. For instance, a CBD wine has no discoloration.

In various embodiments a combination of alcohol and CBD creates a new composition. Alone, an alcoholic beverage and CBD have various effects on the human body. Together, an alcoholic beverage and CBD blend to create a CBD alcoholic beverage that offers a consumer with unique benefits of body, mind and spirit.

Some embodiments of CBD alcoholic beverages result in various effects for a consumer. Various effects for a consumer include a decrease in hangovers for a consumer. For example, a CBD to wine may reduce blood sugar following ingestion, leading to decreased occurrence of a hangover for a consumer. Moreover, CBD is a natural anti-inflammatory that further decreases a sensation of a hangover for a consumer. Various effects for a consumer include decreased nausea or vomiting. For example, CBD has anti-emetic properties that reduce a feeling of nausea and vomiting for a consumer. Various effects for a consumer include relaxation. For example, CBD wine results in enhanced relaxation for a consumer and CBD has anti-anxiety, anti-depressant effects for a consumer.

FIG. 1 is a simplified diagram 100 depicting a method for dissolving a cannabinoid oil into an ethanol based liquid according to embodiments of the present technology. FIG. 1 shows a method for preparing blended beverages. The method of FIG. 1 includes dissolving 110 a cannabinoid oil into an ethanol based liquid, the ethanol based liquid being at least 95 percent Alcohol By Volume (ABV) to produce an emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol; and heating the emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol to between 100 degrees Fahrenheit and 160 degrees Fahrenheit, the heating of the emulsion resulting in the cannabinoid oil dissolving in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol.

In various embodiments the cannabinoid oil is a hemp phytocannabinoid, the hemp phytocannabinoid occurring naturally in a hemp plant. In some embodiments, the hemp phytocannabinoid is cannabidiol (CBD). For example, hemp CBD has beneficial effects for a consumer. Although cannabis-based CBD or synthetic CBD may be used with embodiments of the present technology.

FIG. 1 further show shows an optional step of preparing 120 the cannabinoid oil by refining a hemp plant using at least one of chromatographic separation, distillation, and selective membrane filtration. Additionally, the method includes an optional step of preparing 130 the cannabinoid oil by crude extraction from a hemp plant, the crude extraction from the hemp plant comprising removing plant material from the hemp plant.

The method of FIG. 1 additionally shows high shear mixing 140 of the emulsion of the cannabinoid oil dissolved in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol based liquid. In various embodiments the high shear mixing comprises dispersing the emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol using an array of rotors and stators to produce a dispersed emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol. In some instances high shear mixing is done with a device such as a Ross High Shear Mixer, including a rotor/stator assembly, and the like. In various embodiments, the Ross High Shear Mixer is run at about 10,000 RPM for a period of time of 30 minutes to 60 minutes and the CBD solution or the melted CBD is introduced into the beverage and mixed while the temperature is maintained at a value from about 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Some exemplary methods include mechanical mixing with a blade using a Bermixer device, and the like. In some instances mixing with the Bermixer is sustained for a time range of 30 minutes to 60 minutes at a constant temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

The method of FIG. 1 furthermore shows sonicating 150 the dispersed emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol using an ultrasonic homogenizer; and bubbling nitrogen gas into the dispersed emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol, the bubbling of the nitrogen gas preventing oxygen degradation of the dispersed emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol. In some embodiments the ultrasonic homogenizer is an Ultrasonic probe or “Barbell” in a reaction chamber such as that from Industrial Sonomechanics or Hielscher. For example, the dispersed emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol may be pumped through a “reaction cell” that contains the ultrasonic element that imparts energy and displacement (e.g., between about 20 kHz to about 40 kHz and displacement of about 70 microns) to make smaller particles to produce an equally dispersed emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol throughout the beverage.

The method of FIG. 1 furthermore shows microfluidizer high shear fluid processing of the emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol. For example, microfluidizer high shear fluid processing may be accomplished using high pressure homogenization using an apparatus by Microfluidics or an equivalent. For instance, the emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol may be passed through a device (e.g., apparatus by Microfluidics) that imparts energy to reduce particle size of CBD in the emulsion of the cannabinoid oil in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol to below 10 microns and in the range of about 10 nm to about 200 nm.

FIG. 2 is a simplified diagram 200 showing a method for dissolving a crystallized powder cannabinoid compound into an ethanol based liquid according to embodiments of the present technology. FIG. 2 shows a method for preparing blended beverages. The method of FIG. 2 includes heating 210 a crystallized powder cannabinoid compound to at least 155 degrees Fahrenheit, the heating of the crystallized powder cannabinoid resulting in melting of the crystallized powder cannabinoid; and dissolving the melted crystallized powder cannabinoid compound into an ethanol based liquid, the ethanol based liquid being at least 95 percent Alcohol By Volume (ABV) to produce a suspension of the melted crystallized powder cannabinoid compound in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol.

In various embodiments the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound is a hemp phytocannabinoid, the hemp phytocannabinoid occurring naturally in a hemp plant. In some embodiments the hemp phytocannabinoid is a cannabidiol (CBD) crystalline isolate. For example, hemp CBD has beneficial effects for a consumer. Although cannabis-based CBD or synthetic CBD may be used with embodiments of the present technology.

FIG. 2 further shows high shear mixing 220 of the suspension of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound dissolved in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol based liquid; and bubbling nitrogen gas into the suspension of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound dissolved in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol based liquid, the bubbling of the nitrogen gas preventing oxygen degradation of the suspension of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound dissolved in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol based liquid.

FIG. 2 additionally shows high shear mixing of the suspension of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound dissolved in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol based liquid. In various embodiments the high shear mixing comprises dispersing 230 the suspension of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound dissolved in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol based liquid using an array of rotors and stators to produce a homogenized suspension of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol.

FIG. 2 additionally further shows adding 240 the homogenized suspension of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound in the at least 95 percent ABV ethanol to an alcoholic beverage, wherein the beverage is a concentration of at least 20 milligrams of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound per cubic centimeter of the beverage. In various embodiments the alcoholic beverage is at least one of a wine, a spirit, and a beer, and the like. In some embodiments the alcoholic beverage is a concentration of at least 20 milligrams of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound per cubic centimeter of the beverage. In various embodiments the alcoholic beverage is a concentration of at least 25 milligrams of the crystallized powder cannabinoid compound per cubic centimeter of the beverage.

FIG. 3 is a table 300 showing a range of doses for adding hemp oil and hemp isolate to a bottle of wine according to embodiments of the present technology. Table 300 of FIG. 3 shows ratios for precise amounts of hemp cannabidiol isolate (CBD isolate) added to each wine bottle in exact amounts (by weight) prior to the filling of each bottle with 750 mL of wine. Due to the addition of CBD isolate prior to the addition of liquid to bottles, the CBD mixes and dissolves into the wine in amounts proportional to the amounts offered per bottle of wine (measured in milligrams). Hemp CBD is also available in non-isolate formulations, such as an oil formulation, though such a CBD product are only added to liquids via carefully measured drops in each glass of wine to ensure proper dosing. As hemp CBD oil is, in fact, an oil, it will not mix appropriately in proportionate amounts when added to alcohol, thereby creating the possibility of uneven dosing (which could lead to the possibility of too little or too much CBD per glass). Embodiments of the present technology avoid one glass receiving, for example, 500 mg and the other glasses poured from the same bottle receiving zero milligrams of CBD. Table 300 of FIG. 3 also shows a volume of CBD wine that a consumer must drink to receive a desired CBD dose.

FIG. 4 is a table 400 showing a range of doses for adding hemp oil and hemp isolate to a glass of wine according to embodiments of the present technology. Table 400 of FIG. 4 shows ratios for precise amounts of hemp cannabidiol isolate (CBD isolate) added to each glass bottle in exact amounts (by weight) prior to the filling of each glass. Table 400 of FIG. 4 shows a volume of CBD wine that a consumer must drink to receive a desired CBD dose.
