What Are Cannabis-Infused Beverages?
Cannabis-infused beverages are drinks that contain THC (the psychoactive compound found in cannabis) and sometimes other cannabinoids like CBD and CBN, among others. These drinks are designed to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience, often with a faster onset of effects compared to edibles.
Cannabis-infused beverages can also be made with hemp-derived THC. Similar down to the molecular level with conventional THC, this is a legal alternative in states with no recreational or medical cannabis programs.
How to Choose the Right Cannabis Drink
There’s a wide variety of cannabis-infused drinks on the market, each with its own unique flavor profile and effects. When choosing the right drink for you, consider the following factors:
Consider Your Desired Effects
With so many potencies and cannabinoid blends now available in drinkable format, you’ll want to identify your desired effects. From relaxing to energizing and euphoric, decide how you want to feel and what the circumstance is. Choose a drink based on your desired effects, such as a THC-infused drink for relaxation or a balanced CBD-infused drink for socializing.
Check the THC Content and Dosage per Serving
Determine the product’s potency, specifically the THC content. With THC per can ranging from two to 100 milligrams, figuring out how much is in that serving definitely matters. If you’ve never tried THC before, start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed to achieve your desired effects.
Explore the Rainbow of Flavor
These days, there are never-ending new flavors to try. You can stick with classics like root beer and lemonade or branch out into tasty twists, including blackberry lavender or weed-infused riffs on cocktails.
Our Top Weed-Infused Drinks List
1. Best for Relaxation: St. Ides Wild Raspberry Ice Tea 100 mg
Pros:
- Potent 100mg THC infusion
- Rapid onset of effects
- Delicious raspberry iced tea flavor
Cons:
- Extremely potent
St. Ides Wild Raspberry Iced Tea is a powerhouse for deep, penetrating relaxation. With a potent 100mg THC infusion, this cannabis drink is explicitly designed for an intensely calming experience. The zippy raspberry flavor adds an unexpected twist to the classic iced tea flavor. It’s one of our favorites, especially when we need to unwind after a stressful day. Thanks to advanced nanoemulsion technology, the effects from this drink kick in rapidly, enhancing its super relaxing properties.
But, if you are unfamiliar with THC, this drink has a very high THC content. New users should start with a low dose, about 25 percent of the can, to gauge their tolerance. We suggest mixing it into another bubbly beverage to dilute the potency if you think 100 mg of THC is going to push you over the edge.
2. Best for Nighttime Use: Pabst Blue Ribbon Midnight Berries CBN High Seltzer
Pros:
- Combines THC, CBN, and CBD for synergistic relaxation
- Promotes better sleep quality
Cons:
- Limited availability
- Very sleepy effects, not ideal for daytime use
CBD-infused Midnight Berries High Seltzer is crafted by the one and only Pabst Blue Ribbon. This weed drink is perfect for anyone who needs a little help winding down at night, and the pleasant berry flavor is a hit with us and everyone else who tries it.
This cannabis-infused beverage combines the synergistic magic of 10mg of THC with 3mg of CBN and 2mg of CBD. Together, these cannabinoids provide profound relaxation, encouraging your mind and body to fall asleep faster. In our experience, this is a great option for a sleepy-girl cocktail or nightcap.
3. Best for Summer: Uncle Arnie’s iced Tea Lemonade 8oz
Pros:
- Refreshing taste
- Balanced THC content
Cons:
- Not sessionable
Uncle Arnie’s Iced Tea Lemonade is the quintessential summer drink. Combining the refreshing taste of lemonade and iced tea with THC, this beverage is perfect for leaning into those hot, lazy days spent poolside. We love its crisp, summery flavor and mellow effects.
The only downside is its small 8oz size, which might not be enough for some people. But that’s not to say it isn’t potent. This little bottle contains 100 mg of THC. This is big flavor and big effects, just packed into a tiny format.
4. Best for Daytime Energy: Pabst Blue Ribbon Mango Blood Orange THC High Seltzer
Pros:
- Mellow serving of THC
- Rapid onset of effects
Cons:
- Less potent effects
Pabst Blue Ribbon Mango Blood Orange High Seltzer is an undeniably fun game-changer for those looking for a daytime boost. Infused with just 10 mg of THC, this marijuana beverage provides a refreshing lift, resulting in cerebral highs and mood upliftment without the lethargy typically associated with a hefty dose of THC. It’s recommended for daytime use, making it an ideal choice for those needing a pick-me-up. This is a non-alcoholic but highly sessional drink.
We love it because sometimes we just need fast-hitting effects without getting locked in the couch. Plus, the juicy mango blood orange is a delightful experience and offers something off the beaten path in terms of flavor.
5. Best Root Beer Flavor: Not Your Father’s Root Beer
Pros:
- Authentic root beer flavor
- Nostalgic taste
Cons:
- Sweetness may be excessive for some
Not Your Father’s Root Beer is a nostalgic treat for your taste buds. This old-time brand combines the traditional root beer flavor with a whopping 100 mg of THC. Obviously, this cannabis-infused beverage offers a unique and enjoyable experience that you just wouldn’t get with a non-infused soda.
While we’ve heard that some people find the sweetness excessive, we couldn’t disagree more. Not Your Father’s Root Beer hits the mark in terms of earthy, sweet caramel flavor. Just be warned: This can pack a punch. If you aren’t ready for that much THC, consider cutting it with sparkling water.
6. Best Herbal Tonic: CANN Hi Boy Lemon Lavender Social Tonic 6 Pack
Pros:
- Pleasant lemon-lavender flavor
- Balanced THC and CBD content
- Tall can format
Cons:
- Milder effects
CANN Hi Boy Lemon Lavender is a refreshing non-alcoholic beverage that combines 5mg THC and 10mg CBD. The subtle lemon flavor balanced with a hint of lavender makes it taste more like a fancy cocktail than a cannabis-infused beverage. Plus, with all things created by CANN, we appreciate how balanced the flavors are — they are never too sweet.
With balanced THC and CBD, this is a highly sessionable infused beverage, where you can have more than one without overdoing it. It is an excellent option for those wanting a light and refreshing social option to swap out for alcohol.
7. Best Citrus Blend: CANN Grapefruit Rosemary Social Tonic 6 Pack
Pros:
- Tart grapefruit-rosemary flavor
- Balanced THC and CBD content
Cons:
- Less potent effects
We’ve always loved CANN’s Grapefruit Rosemary Social Tonic for its incredible flavor, combining bright citrus with just the right amount of earthy herbal notes. With 2mg THC and 4mg CBD, it provides a mild effect ideal for all-day casual drinking. This is yet another lovely alcohol alternative, and we love bringing a six-pack of these CANN social tonics along with us to parties.
8. Best Alpine Flavor: Not Your Father’s Alpine Splash
Pros:
- Unique alpine flavor
- Refreshing taste
Cons:
- Unconventional flavor
- High potency
Not Your Father’s Alpine Splash is a refreshing alternative to standard cannabis beverages. Users appreciate its distinct alpine flavor, though some may find it unconventional compared to more common cannabis drink profiles. We definitely see this as a must for your next mountain adventure, whether on the ski hill or in the backcountry.
While not everyone will fall in love with this unconventional flavor, we still say it’s worth it for the 100 mg of THC. It’s a refreshing change from a cola or a root beer, and its unique taste makes it stand out in the crowded market of cannabis beverages.
9. Best Watermelon Flavor: Uncle Arnie’s Watermelon Wave 8oz
Pros:
- Sweet and refreshing watermelon taste
- Moderate THC content
Cons:
- Small 8oz size
Uncle Arnie’s Watermelon Wave is a staff favorite because of its sweet and refreshing watermelon taste. Everyone tells us they love to stuff these into their beach bag or backpack for the perfect daytime buzz. With 10 mg of THC, this is a mellow high, making it a perfect choice for on-the-go effects.
As cannabis drinks go, this is a superior option because it’s rapidly absorbed. Thanks to nanoemulsified cannabinoids, you’ll likely feel the high start to kick in after just 15 minutes. This rapid onset also helps you gauge the intensity. You won’t need to wait that long before you crack open another one.
10. Best for Tranquility: Kikoko Tranquil-Tea CBN 10 Pack
Pros:
- Highly relaxing
- Calming blend of herbs with CBN
- Warming
Cons:
- Less potent
- Sleepier effects
Kikoko’s Tranquili-Tea is a cannabis-infused tea designed for relaxation. Every tea bag contains a calming blend of tea with 3 mg of THC and 5 mg of CBN. This is especially effective as part of a nighttime pre-bed ritual. Imagine how blissed out you’ll feel with a steaming cup of chamomile-valerian tea in your hands. Now imagine all those sleepy herbs and cannabinoids working their way into your body’s soft tissues.
Obviously, this isn’t a daytime choice; it’s specifically created for nighttime benefits. It’s one of the best THC drinks when sleep and relaxation are the end goals. The synergistic benefits of THC, CBN, chamomile, and valerian are unmatched.

FAQ

The best weed-infused drinks vary depending on your preferences and desired effects. Some popular options include:
- Cannabis-infused sodas: These are great for a refreshing, carbonated experience.
- Weed teas: Perfect for a calming and soothing drink, often used for relaxation.

What drink gets you the most high?
The drink that gets you the most high would be one with a higher concentration of THC. Look for weed-infused beverages that clearly state their THC content on the label. For instance, some cannabis-infused sodas contain up to 100mg of THC per serving, which is considered a very high dose. For total newbies, this should be consumed with caution. Always check the label and start with a low dose if unsure.
What are the benefits of choosing weed-infused drinks over smoking marijuana?
Not everyone can or should smoke or vape cannabis. Whether it’s personal choice or respiratory concerns, many people prefer edible formats. This is where weed-infused drinks offer a smoother experience that’s easier on your lungs. They also allow for more precise dosing.
How quickly do the effects of cannabis drinks set in?
Cannabis drinks can kick in pretty quickly, usually within about 30 minutes, thanks to advanced formulation using nanoemulsified ingredients. By working with nano-sized cannabinoids, your body can readily absorb them into the bloodstream for faster onset of effects. If you’re looking for quick relief or a speedier buzz, drinkable cannabis is the solution.
Are weed-infused drinks suitable for beginners?
Definitely! Weed-infused drinks can be suitable for beginners, especially if you go for low-dose options like CANN’s Lemon Lavender Social Tonic, which balances THC and CBD. If you have never tried a THC-rich product, we would recommend steering clear of the higher-potency drinks, as these can contain up to 100 mg of THC in just one container. Whatever drink you choose, if you are new to cannabis, start slowly to see how your body reacts!
Can I use weed-infused drinks for energy during the day?
Yes, you can use weed-infused drinks for an energy boost during the day, but you might want to choose one with specific energizing cannabinoids or a lower dose. Unless you know you can handle it, avoid anything with 100 mg of THC and avoid drinks with sleepy cannabinoids like CBN.
