The 10 Best Weed Drinks of 2022 | THC and CBD drinks
The cannabis beverage landscape is growing and evolving rapidly, with tons of new products pouring into cannabis markets across the country. Several cannabis beverages were entered into the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, one of the most prestigious beverage competitions in the US, and some scored fairly high alongside their alcoholic counterparts.
Summarizing the highlights of weed drinks available today, there is a mix of sodas, seltzer, cocktails, tea, and mixed drinks available in both THC and CBD options.
Here are 10 of the best tasting – and feeling – cannabis drinks to try in 2022.
Good feeling Selters
Good Feels takes cannabis seltzer to the next level and ticks all the boxes: attractive glass bottle, tasty flavors, low-dose, fast-acting CBD and THC, and contemporary corporate values like fair wages and carbon neutrality.
The flavors are blood orange, grapefruit, raspberry apple and black cherry. Each bottle contains 5 milligrams of THC and CBD, resulting in a potentially well-balanced, chilled vibe designed to hit fast. Each bottle typically costs around $7.

Klaus poured cocktails
Klaus, a canned cannabis cocktail, is made by mixologist Warren Bobrow for taste hunters. The intense flavor of their THC drink is absolutely cocktail-y and ideal for serving over ice, although you can also enjoy it straight from the can. The tart, spicy, and ginger flavors would likely appeal to those who typically order margaritas or daiquiris. With 10 milligrams of THC in each can, it hits fast and gives me a strong – but not overwhelming – high. Currently available in one flavor, the Mezzrole, with two more flavors coming soon, each can costs like a craft cocktail at $12.
You can find Klaus cocktails at two Solful locations in Northern California: Santa Rosa and Sebastopol. So if you’re in Sonoma County, be sure to check them out.

Can Selters
This pioneering company continues to be one of the best weed drinks available, offering new seasonal flavors alongside their classic THC drinks. Somewhere between seltzer and cocktails, the not-too-sweet varieties like lemon lavender or seasonal ginger lemongrass are just to love.
The cans come in two sizes: the traditional 8-ounce with 2 milligrams of THC and 4 milligrams of CBD, and the 12-ounce Hi Boy with 5 milligrams of THC. Cann is available in packs of 4 for around $25.

Lemonade mixers infused with Good Stuff
Good Stuff lemonade concentrates are as versatile as they are delicious. Bonus points for the dark glass bottle, which stores well in the fridge for longer shelf life, and the cap, which doubles as a micro-dose gauge of 2 milligrams per cap.
These formulations taste great at any concentration and allow for ultimate customization to suit your needs. My personal favorite is the Indica Strawberry Lemonade. I add a few capsules of this to a liter of water and drink it alongside my daily hydration regimen for a constant microdose. The mixture is absolutely delicious and is therefore suitable as a shot, mixed over ice or as a social drink in seltzer.
Each bottle costs around $20 and packs a total of 100 milligrams of fast-acting THC and varying amounts of CBD depending on flavor.

Lagunitas Hi-Fi Sessions
Lagunitas, a beer brand founded in 1993, has always had close ties to cannabis. And in 2017, the founders made that connection official by partnering with AbsoluteXtracts, a Northern California cannabis brand known for its full-spectrum vape cartridges. Together, Lagunitas and ABX have created one of the most refreshing weed drinks on the market. And don’t just take our word for it. The Hoppy Chill flavor won first place at the 2022 Emerald Cup Awards.
Hi-Fi Sessions cannabis drinks are made with water-soluble THC and CBD for a potentially fast-acting high. The taste is light and citrusy with a hop background that makes for a unique sip experience. They come in three doses: a 10mg THC formulation, a balanced 5:5mg CBD:THC option, and a low-dose 2:2mg CBD:THC variant. All three options have zero calories or carbs.

Artet aperitif
Mixing drinks is an extension of cooking and creativity in the kitchen, something that should be available to everyone, whether they indulge in alcohol or not. Considering how awful non-alcoholic spirits can be, this product is particularly impressive as it offers a flavorful and balanced mixer that is the perfect substitute.
The Artet Aperitif is herbal with complex and balanced notes. My favorite mixer is a double dose (5 milligrams of THC) of Artet, a small bottle of Q Mediterranean or Cucumber Tonic, and three dashes of Angostura Bitters—all poured over two large cubes of ice. I like it even better than a traditional gin and tonic. This infused beverage retails for around $45 for a 750mL bottle and contains a total of 37.5 milligrams of THC.

Lemonades infused with Keef
There are certain meals or occasions that call for a classic soft drink, and having a little cannabis mixed in is a bonus. The flavors of Keef sodas are classic and nostalgic with subtle notes of cannabis – the orange soda is particularly delicious.
While these can be dangerous for those who drink a lot of soda, they’re still fun to indulge in every now and then. The recreational version contains 10 milligrams of THC and CBD per can for around $5, and the medicinal versions are available with 50 milligrams or 100 milligrams of THC per can for around $15 each.
Available: Arizona, California, Colorado, Oklahoma, Maine, Missouri, Puerto Rico, Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Saskatchewan
Ceria-Infused “Beers”
This category of “cannabis beer” offers tremendous growth potential and is a tasty substitute for beer drinkers who aren’t catered to the typical seltzer, soda, and cocktails. Beer alternatives are difficult to produce in terms of taste. Still, Ceria’s two flavors are solid: Grainwave, a lighter ale with notes of coriander and citrus, and Indiewave, a richer IPA with sweet, malty notes.
To keep up with the flavor profiles and how they’re typically offered at lower and higher alcohol levels, the lighter ale contains 5 milligrams of THC in each can and the IPA contains 10 milligrams of THC.
The all-new packaging underscores the beverage’s contemporary craft brew status while also paying homage to Ceres, the Roman goddess of grain. These completely non-alcoholic beers cost about $8 a can.
Available: California and Colorado
Day One CBD Sparkling Water
Day One CBD Seltzer comes in classic flavors with crisp fizz and clean citrus notes. It has everything you want in a cold seltzer, and it’s easy to grab on the go or toss in a cooler alongside regular soda and beer.
Each $3 can contains 20 milligrams of broad-spectrum hemp-derived CBD extract. For me, CBD relieved physical and mental pressure and provided relaxed atmosphere for social gatherings.

Tea infused with Willie’s Remedy
Form and function are harmoniously matched in this infusion tea line. Well-suited for a morning routine or ritual, the tea won’t over-extract even if steeped for a long time. It also makes a lovely iced tea for warm weather.
A daily cup of Willie’s Remedy also makes it easy to get a regular dose of CBD. The tea bags themselves are high quality, made without dyes or chemicals and are biodegradable. Each sachet contains approximately 12.5 milligrams of full-spectrum CBD made from organic hemp. They’re available for $26 for a 16-bag tin.
