Best THC Drinks of 2025: Weed-Infused Seltzers, Tonics, and Cocktails That Hit Just Right

They’re bubbly, they’re buzzy, and they won’t ruin tomorrow morning.

The era of the “one cocktail too many” is quietly slipping into the past. Because right now? The fizz-and-buzz wave of THC-infused drinks is crashing hard into the booze beach. Case in point: one recent survey found 77% of THC-beverage drinkers say they’ve slashed alcohol since making the switch, and over 20% claim they’ve quit drinking entirely after adopting a THC-sipper. In the first quarter of 2025, U.S. sales of THC-beverages also doubled in Michigan (up 112%) and jumped 79% in Ohio over the same period, according to a report from BDSA, a leading cannabis market research firm. It’s no wonder, the cannabis-beverage market is set to grow from roughly $1.5 billion in 2024 to a multi-billion dollar powerhouse in the next decade. 

Since hemp-derived THC became federally legal through the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill, these beverage brands have the green light — and they’re speeding right ahead. They are reinventing the “drink with friends” moment with fewer headaches and no dreaded hangover. Drinkers and stoners are here for it. About one in three young professionals now reach for a THC beverage instead of a pint at after-work happy hour.

With dozens of high and low-dose seltzers, spritzers, and tonics hitting shelves and sites, picking the right one can feel like navigating a sea of THC. I sampled the latest crop of standout brands so you can skip the lineup, dodge the guesswork, and find your vibe — whether you’re after mellow vibes, high-octane creativity, or just a smooth weekend without any worries.

Best THC Drink for Chilling: SOUL Out of Office Cucumber Melon Lime

The SOUL Out of Office Cucumber Melon Lime was a contender for best flavor, but with a double dose of CBD, I had to make it the best THC drink for chilling. The Double version contains 5mg Delta-9 THC and 10mg CBD, giving you a lifted high with an overarching coziness. That CBD stomps out any anxious feelings you might get from THC. Much like the Planetary Peach Soda, I think this is a brilliant transitional drink for anyone looking to explore higher doses. 

Lots of THC drinks can feel like mocktails, especially this one. The low-key fizziness and mature flavor profile mimics something you might order at a gastropub bar. It balances the watery cucumber with zesty lime and succulent melon for a light and refined flavor that’s supremely easy to sip on. Mojitos should be scared; all this needs is a little mint to make those cocktails obsolete. 

All of SOUL’s products have a polished and attractive look, but the Out of Office ones are particularly alluring. They have a retro, chill appearance, with groovy lettering and metallic ombre accents that make the cans pop. The price point is standard for this dosage, helping you get high for an affordable price.

Best THC Drink Cocktail Alternative: Spruce THC Cocktail Packets

As much as I love to crack open a can of THC, it’s not something you can do just anywhere. I want to get high and have a good time, but some of my friends want to get drunk and, I guess, hate themselves the next morning? Sometimes I plan to hate myself the next morning too, no shade. But for nights when it’s not the vibe for me, the Spruce THC Cocktail Packets are the perfect loophole. 

The tiny packets can be discreetly dumped into seltzers and sodas at a bar, so you can still be out and about socializing, without feeling the need to order alcohol. Plus, you’ll save a ton of money. With 3mg Delta-9 THC and 6mg CBD, they deliver an impeccable high, giving you a small buzz while keeping things cool and collected. No anxiety in sight, just smiles. Plus, there are added nootropics to keep you energized and activated to go all night.

Spruce is made with quality ingredients, and it shows both in the buzz as well as the taste department. Spruce founder Tony Spencer told us, “Most of the brands out there, they’re using a cheap wholesale isolate. At Spruce, we’re only using this 200-year-old heirloom strain of hemp. By using this whole plant, we’re creating a smoother, calmer buzz. This is the way nature intended.”

These come in three flavors: Citrus, Raspberry Lemon Passionflower, and Grapefruit Rosemary. All three are elevated profiles that rival bar cocktails. They’re complex but smooth, whether you want the herby taste of Grapefruit Rosemary or the bright Citrus flavor. Spencer again: “I refuse to compromise on the ingredients that I put in my products. We use whole fruit extracts and whole herb extracts.”

Best THC Drink Variety Pack: Mood Cannabis Sodas and Seltzers

If you want some variety in your (high) life, this mixed pack of THC sodas and seltzers is a tasty assortment to try. The Mood Cannabis Sodas and Seltzers come in a 5mg and 10mg option, with a 1:1 ratio of Delta-9 THC and CBD. While the dosages can be potent, these THC drinks give you an easygoing, slow high. The comeup is gentle, as is the comedown, so you won’t be hit hard. The high lasts a few hours, allowing you to enjoy the soft haziness.

The pack comes with four flavors: Classic Cola, Peach Mango, Strawberry Lemonade, and Cherry Lime. While the Cherry Lime is my favorite, each flavor has something delectable that makes it stand out. The Classic Cola is pretty close to a can of Pepsi, while the Peach Mango offers a smooth, lush texture. Both the Strawberry Lemonade and Cherry Lime are bright, complex flavors, with the former being a little sweeter and less carbonated.

There’s something simple and joyful about the Mood brand and aesthetic. These cans boast a retro look, similar to the Out of Office drinks, like a cannabis drink that time-traveled from the ’70s. The colorful variety pack feels like a vacation in a box, inviting you to crack one open and pretend you don’t have work on Monday. It’s a mood.

Best New THC Drink: Summit THC Seltzer

Summit’s new THC drinks just hit the shelves! And they’re worth grabbing. Summit makes some yummy THC gummies, but now, they’re stepping into the seltzer arena with these bevvies, which contain 5mg Delta-9 THC and 10mg CBD for a super chill high. 

These drinks are fabulous for people who might feel a little awkward at parties or need something to help them let go of that weekday work tension in their jaw. They put you in a mild haze, enough for you to let the stress melt away, but not so hazy that you feel lost in the sauce. You can stay present and social, so take it to your next hangout or bash. I don’t think it’ll give you the confidence to start a congo line or give an impassioned speech at dinner, but you’ll be easygoing enough for pleasant conversations and lots of laughs. 

Much like Summit’s gummies, these drinks have flavors that hit the mark. You get two choices: Orange Passionfruit or Blueberry Pomegranate. As a passionate Passion Fruit gal, the former is my favorite, but the latter is also a mouthwatering sip. The drinks have an irresistible aroma from the moment you crack open a can, and when the drinks hit your tongue, the flavors sing even more. 

The Orange Passionfruit is tart and sweet, delivering equal parts tropical passionate fruit and citrus-y orange. The blueberry and pomegranate flavors also balance out one another well, making for a succulent and rich berry profile.

Best THC Drink for Socializing: Cornbread Hemp Salted Watermelon THC Seltzer

Courtesy of author

Many of these drinks can put you in a social mood, but the Cornbread Hemp Salted Watermelon THC Seltzer had me buzzing with friendly energy, earning the trophy for best social THC drink on my list. 

It contains the industry standard 5mg Delta-9 THC, a dose suitable for people who are familiar with THC but maybe don’t have a ridiculously high tolerance like some people (me). There’s no CBD, but the drink still creates a comfortable and calming high, while giving you a funny buzz that makes everything more enjoyable. From beach days with best friends to concerts with strangers, the high will put you in a cheerful mood to vibe with anyone. 

This isn’t the first watermelon-flavored THC drink I’ve tried, but it was certainly the best. That salted aspect elevated the flavor to the next level, creating a supple flavor that teemed with watermelon. It wasn’t watery, but brought a thoughtful approach to this familiar flavor, exceeding expectations. With just a slight carbonation, it has a mild mouthfeel that suits the mellow flavor.

Much like Altua (which I’ll get to later), Cornbread has created a luxurious aesthetic. However, Cornbread’s is a bit more artsy, with a pop art style that’s just as cute as it is stylish. And they offer generous discounts when you buy in bulk, so it’s time to stock up.

Best THC Drink Syrup: Mood Euphoric Nano THC Syrup

The Mood Euphoric Nano THC Syrup makes custom dosing easy and delicious. You can add a spoonful to lots of drinks, from seltzers to juices. However, this syrup goes far beyond drinks. I know, I know. This roundup is about THC drinks. But the syrup also lends itself to food, which is exciting. You can mix it into ice cream, use to to marinate meat, or sweeten up a sauce with it. 

One serving is a teaspoon or 5mL, giving you a mix of Delta-9 THC, Delta-8 THC, and CBD. You get about 6mg Delta-9, 4mg Delta-8, and 12mg CBD, which comes out to a perceived potency of 8-10mg Delta-9 THC, since Delta-8 is weaker. It delivers a strong high that energizes instead of fatigues. It’s a delightful option for your morning coffee or pre-game seltzer. 

The taste is the star here. It’s a lush cherry flavor that smells strong and follows it up with a sweetness that can be a topper on ice cream, pancakes, or chicken wings. If you’re raising your eyebrows at me, stop that. It’s so yummy on so many things. It transcends drinks to become a versatile ingredient that you can keep in your kitchen.

Best Budget THC Drink: Delta Passion Fruit THC Seltzer 

Delta just revamped their whole brand, but they kept their low prices! The new Delta Passion Fruit THC Seltzer shows off the company’s new groovy look, along with some new flavors, the best of which (in my opinion) is the Passion Fruit. 

While they make several lower-dose drinks that are just as delicious and relaxing, I’ve fallen passionately in love with their newer 20mg THC drinks. With 20mg Delta-9 THC, these are sure to get just about everyone high, even people with sky-high THC tolerances. I know this kind of dose can be super intimidating, and I don’t recommend it for beginners. But with 40mg CBD, it delivers a dreamy high that feels effortless. For moderate users who want a serious high or high tolerance folks who want something that will hit after one can, these are heaven-sent.

The high lasts for about three hours and feels hazy and soft, with a Cloud-9-style sensation. One of the best parts of this seltzer is that it won’t leave you groggy or sleepy after the high, so you can go about your day. 

The flavor here is what excites me. It’s a straightforward and exceptional passion fruit profile, which doesn’t sound that special. But it’s a zero-calorie drink. Delta managed to infuse the seltzer with a tart, sweet, tropical flavor that’s full-bodied, but without the calories. Most zero-calorie drinks are… disappointing, to say the least. This seltzer is loaded with flavor, so it doesn’t taste like you’re drinking air.

Best THC Drink With Adaptogenic Mushrooms: cbdMD Herbal Oasis Mango Bliss

Adaptogenic mushrooms are all the rage right now. Brands add them to the THC drinks to help make them more uplifting, which can better replace alcoholic drinks. The Herbal Oasis THC drink is actually made by cbdMD, even though they didn’t put their name on the label. The company has a fantastic range of products, and the Herbal Oasis Mango Bliss beverage is one of my favorites. 

It contains 10mg Delta-9 THC, 10mg CBG (which can be energizing), and Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps, Maitake, and Reishi, as well as L-theanine and Vitamin B12. The mushrooms have the potential to help with mood, focus, and energy, so you might feel more euphoric and lively than with other drinks. If you’re interested in seeing how these mushrooms (which will not make you trip like psychedelic shrooms) affect you, this drink is a must-taste.

The flavor is sublime. It’s fruity without being overly saccharine, so you get a grown-up mango taste that’s even and refreshing. The light fizziness is delicate, making each sip just the right amount of bubbly. It’s an uncomplicated flavor that delivers wholly on its mango promise, making it easy to drink can after can. Just be careful, because 10mg can be a heavy dose for beginners or intermittent users.

Best Aperol Replacement: Cann Spritz

This one is for all the Aperol spritz lovers out there. Cann’s canned drinks are fantastic, but they’ve added Cann Spritz to their lineup of THC products. Now, you can have your beloved Aperol spritz without the hangover. 

Aperol has such a specific flavor profile — bitter but with hints of citrus and floral notes. There are undertones of lemon and orange with that unmistakable rhubarb flavor that you just don’t experience every day. Cann gets an A+ when it comes to recreating the flavor. All you have to do to create a THC spritz is add some soda water or Sprite (I like Sprite because it makes it sweeter). But on its own, it has that balanced taste that never seems sugary, which I know Aperol spritz people adore. 

I consider this a low-dose THC beverage, with about 2.5mg Delta-9 THC per ounce. You can keep things light, or add two ounces for a punchier drink, both in flavor and strength. For people with high tolerances, you’ll probably have to have a few before you settle into a decent high. 

Much like a traditional Aperol spritz, this drink keeps you social and bubbly, bringing a smooth flow to your mood. The drink contains 1-2 mg CBG as well, which is thought to produce energizing effects that can help you be more outgoing. Get a bottle to make your Saturday afternoons aesthetic and elevated.

Best THC Drink Flavor Variety: Cann Social Tonics

Cann Social Tonics are among the top THC drinks on the market right now, and for good reason. The brand makes drinks that ride the line between mature and playful, keeping things fun while elevating the energy. The drinks come in a few different doses, including 2mg, 5mg, and 10mg Delta-9 THC. You can choose your own adventure, and the high is always calming and hazy. It’s a classic high that might have you feeling a little dumb, but in a carefree and silly way. Maybe don’t sign up for trivia night if you’ve had a few. 

The flavor is what puts these at the top of the market for me. It’s not just that each flavor is carefully balanced and scrumptious, but there are so many options! Their lineup includes Blood Orange Cardamom, Lemon Lavender, Grapefruit Rosemary (my fave!), and Ginger Lemongrass. But wait, there’s more, because Cann likes to keep things fresh and releases limited-time flavors frequently. From Yuzu Lemonade to Cranberry Sage, I highly recommend keeping an eye on their offerings so you can taste whatever the newest profile is. 

From the cheeky poems on the side of each can to the colorful but elegant designs, Cann has cracked the code on how to make adult drinks that are still lighthearted and adorable. They bring the sophisticated sips with a vibe that reminds us not to take life too seriously.
