Sip the Future: Cannabis Cocktails Are Redefining Social Drinking

Sip the Future: Cannabis Cocktails Are Redefining Social Drinking

The social side of cannabis is evolving—and quickly. While many still enjoy a classic joint, others are embracing something more refined: cannabis-infused cocktails. In California and beyond, there’s growing excitement around cannabis cafes and lounges, and with alcohol often off the menu, THC spirits are taking center stage.

Whether you’re a longtime enthusiast or canna-curious, these new cannabis beverages offer a familiar and classy way to relax, socialize, and celebrate—without the hangover.

Crafting the Perfect Cannabis Cocktail

If you’re looking to elevate your bar cart, crafting cannabis cocktails is easier than you might think. Start by stocking up on basic tools (or DIY substitutes): a shaker, stirrer spoon, jigger—or even just a mason jar, a spoon, and a shot glass. You’ll also want mixers like bitters and sugar syrups to balance the flavor of your chosen cannabis spirit.

But before mixing, always taste the spirit first. Some lean sweet, while others are crafted to mimic the bite of traditional liquor.

Top THC Spirits to Try

1. BREZ Cannabis & Mushroom-Infused Spirit
BREZ has gained popularity with its THC + lion’s mane seltzers, and now its new 750 mL spirit is hitting shelves. Infused with 75mg THC, 160mg CBD, and a hefty 2200mg of lion’s mane, BREZ offers earthy, gin-like notes without extra sweetness. One shot equals 5mg of THC, perfect for a balanced, sociable high. Expect mellow euphoria to kick in fast—ideal for a game night or small gathering. Available where hemp THC products are sold.

2. Mxxn THC Spirits
A pioneer in the cannabis cocktail world, Mxxn offers three liquor-inspired options: Jalisco Agave (tequila-style), London Dry (gin), and Kentucky Oak (bourbon). Each 750 mL bottle includes 100mg of THC (~4mg per serving) and costs around $80. Mxxn nails the alcohol-like feel, and effects set in within 15 minutes, making it a go-to for home mixologists and dinner party hosts.

3. Pamos Signature Spirit
Known for its canned cannabis cocktails, Pamos also offers bottled THC liqueurs. The Signature Spirit contains 80mg THC and 32mg CBD and delivers a citrusy, bitters-forward flavor with a floral aroma. Effects begin within 10 minutes. For a gentler start, try their Microdose bottle (32mg THC/CBD), or for a bolder experience, the Reserve (160mg THC). A great addition to any THC-forward bar cart—just taste first to make sure the profile suits your palate.

Cannabis Cocktails: A Classy High

With alcohol out of the picture, these spirits offer an alternative that feels familiar yet entirely new. For those who enjoy the ritual of sipping a drink but want a different kind of buzz, THC cocktails are the perfect bridge.

Whether you're hosting a dinner, toasting with friends, or simply experimenting with your own bar creations, cannabis spirits are making it easy (and classy) to drink your weed.
