When we talk about why we love cannabis drinks (maybe even more than smoking!), people often respond in two ways:
Hell yes, I love those!
They make drinks with weed??
Cannabis-infused beverages are great options for both existing cannabis consumers and those new to the plant. You might be an alcohol drinker who is seeking alternative ways to relax or socialize, you want to try cannabis products but the idea of lighting up or the edibles guessing game doesn’t appeal to you, or you are sensitive or abstaining from alcohol but still want to have a cold drink in your hand when you’re hanging out with your friends.
If you fall into the wanting to limit your alcohol consumption, we don’t blame you. So many people are increasing their mindfulness when it comes to drinking. It’s definitely possible to find ways to socialize and relax with cannabis. You just have to find the right products for you.
What are the benefits of cannabis drinks?
Drinking your weed may be the most “socially-acceptable” way to consume cannabis. There isn’t as much stigma associated with drinks as with smoking or vaping.
Another benefit of THC drinks is that you’re not hungover the next day. Imagine being able to bring your beverage to a party and not feel out of place but avoiding any headaches and rough mornings. Just make sure you’ve tested out the percentage of THC that’s in the drink or had one before you socialize if you’re worried about how it might affect you.
THC drinks can also be healthier. There’s fewer calories in most weed beverages than there are in a glass of wine, beer or liquor. If you’re looking to feel more connected and present than you do when you are drinking, you might also want to consider giving cannabis drinks a try. Though you should definitely consider how cannabis will effect you if you’ve never consumed, a lot of people report feeling more creative and engaged in comparison with how they feel while drinking.
What are the best cannabis beverages to try?
Here are some of our favorite beverages. Our criteria for this list is that the beverages must taste good and make us feel great. We have either tasted these brands at events like Hall of Flowers, or we have bought them ourselves. In full transparency, some of the brands on this list have supported us as creators.
Lift Seltzer makes delicious, award-winning, low-dose, cannabis-infused sparkling beverages. Each can of Lift Seltzer contains 2mg THC and 6mg CBD for a light, uplifting social buzz. At only 30 Calories per can, Lift Seltzer will lift you up and won't weigh you down. Lift's microdosed drinks are the perfect accompaniment to summer sessions at the pool, beach, dinner party, or backyard BBQ. Keep the buzz, kick the booze.
What we loved: This is a true seltzer. We love that Lift is flavored to taste so deliciously clean. There’s absolutely no extra sugar or weird aftertaste. Very much appreciate that they didn’t go overboard on the flavor. It’s very balanced and refreshing. We are big fans of the Passion Fruit. We felt very outgoing and energized after a can. Because our tolerance is high we could each have a few cans but this would be perfect for someone just starting their cannabis drink journey or someone who wanted a more mellow feeling.
Flavors: Mango, Passion Fruit, Blackberry
Dosage: Lift Seltzer contains 2mg THC and 6mg CBD
Where to Find: California. You can see all the locations where Lift is available here and follow them to stay updated on their further expansion!
2. Vibations
Vibations isn’t just a cannabis drink, it’s an obsession. Maybe that sounds dramatic, but our love for this product is a little dramatic. You just add water to a handy packet of High + Energy drink mix. It’s infused with natural caffeine from guarana and full-spectrum cannabis. Each mix is precision-dosed, made with all-natural ingredients and packed with vitamins and electrolytes for full high-dration in every sip. Vibations has helped us overcome travel exhaustion and have powered many a creative jam session. Watch out because you might fight your BFF for the last pack of these.
What we loved: It’s deliciously energizing and at 5mg, is the perfect easy-going high. Pomegranate Blueberry Acai is probably our favorite because it contains sugar-free superfruit.
Flavors: Strawberry Lemonade, Peach Tangerine Tea, Iced Tea Lemonade, and Pomegranate Blueberry Acai.
Dosage: 5mg in Massachusetts but varies by state.
Where to Find: Available at select dispensaries in Massachusetts, including MariMed’s Panacea Wellness in Middleborough. The brand will soon be available in Delaware and Maryland. Stay in the loop by following Vibations.
3. Hi5
Hi5 Cannabis-Infused Seltzer takes effect in only five minutes thanks to their state-of-the-art nano-emulsification process that creates microscopic particles of THC. The smaller particles make it easier for your body to absorb and process. That means not only are the effects felt faster, they dissipate quicker, too. As you’re probably aware, edibles, tinctures, and other cannabis-infused products need to metabolize and break down for your body to absorb, leading to less control over what you will feel and when you will feel it. This seltzer is also zero calories, gluten-free, lab-tested, and fast-acting. Hi5 seltzers use a proprietary infusion process to ensure a consistent shelf-stable product.
What we loved: It really does take effect in five minutes! There are so many flavors to choose from but our favorite is Peach Mango and we are excited to break out copper mugs this fall and try the Winter Mule!
Flavors: Lemon, Lime, Grapefruit, Peach Mango, Black Cherry, Pomegranate, Pineapple, Cranberry, Watermelon, Winter Mule.
Dosage: 5mg in Massachusetts but varies by state.
Where to Find: You can find a dispensary that carries Hi5 on their website.
4. Klaus
Klaus is a ready-to-drink THC-infused cocktail line by famed master mixologist Warren Bobrow. As a world-renowned and notable cocktail specialist, a cannabis writer for Skunk Magazine, Warren is best known for creating The Cocktail Whisperer, and is a multi-published author of six books on cocktails. Klaus is a craft cannabis beverage bringing old-world charm back through carefully curated mixology and flavor profiling. These delicious cannabis-infused beverages are made with the best ingredients, like Picketts™ ginger syrup and the finest fruit extracts from France.
What we loved: Klaus is fast-acting and tasty. The first KLAUS mocktail is named after Mezz Mezzrow - Louis Armstrong's friend, weed dealer and very excellent clarinetist. The "Mezzrole" was what a finely crafted cannabis cigarette was called in the jazz world of the 1930s.
Flavors: The "Mezzrole" - Ginger, Lime and Rice Vinegar with THC infusion. Klaus “Mezzrole” fills the nose and the mouth with the bold aromatics of cannabis-forward terpenes. Dollops of zesty and zippy on the tongue, caramelized, spicy ginger cane syrup comes into view, each sniff framed by the exotic French lime puree. Rice vinegar carries each sip into a multi-minute finish, ebullient with bursts of heady salt spray splashing over crushed minerals.
Dosage: < 1mg CBD / 10mg THC per can.
Where to Find: California. Visit Klaus’s website for details.
5. Green Monké
Green Monkeé is a lightly sparkling happy soda with a signature emerald color and infused with a social low-dose of 3mg THC and 6mg CBD. Easy-drinking and bursting with tropical citrus flavors that are best experienced when chilled or over ice. With only 5g of sugar and a 2:1 ratio lifts you up and keeps you grounded, Green Monké is sure to be a cannabis beverage you’ll be seeing more of. Each 12oz can of Green Monké is infused with micro-emulsified cannabis extract containing 3mg THC and 6mg CBD that can be quickly absorbed under the tongue for fast effects that are felt around 15 minutes after drinking.
What we loved: Delicious flavor, even though it was a little on the sweet end for our taste. We loved that it had a 2:1 ratio of THC and CBD for a balanced effect.
Flavors: Tropical Citrus, Orange Passionfruit, Mango Guava.
Dosage: It has three milligrams of THC for a “gentle lift-off”, and six milligrams of CBD to “keep you grounded”.
Where to Find: Visit Green Monké’s website for details.
