TINCTURES & BEVERAGES

DEEP DESERT SPIRITED INFUSIONSThese THC-infused beverages contain natural spring water and botanical extracts. There’s no Cannabis taste, but it features a fast-acting nanoemulsion of 5mg per dose, infused with lotus flower essence. There’s a wave of delicious fruit and botanical flavor, along with a slight aftertaste from the sucralose. Whether you mix it in a cocktail or sip straight from the bottle, the overall feeling is refreshment. The Spark version has added Green Tea for a bit of natural caffeine, and the Chill formula has added Suntheanine, a pure form of L-theanine (an amino acid in tea that promotes relaxation without drowsiness).

Immensely crushable and effective, these would be good in mocktails or on their own. Try mixing them with some of the syrups on this list – or with the company’s own potent St. Ides brand of

Cannabis syrups – for maximum impact. 10MG THC/CAN | PABSTLABS.COM @PABSTLABS REVIEW BY TOM BOWERS @CANNABOMBTOM

CQ CANNABIS INFUSED BEVERAGES A seasoned producer of

infused beverages, CQ – aka Cannabis Quencher – smartly offers multiple dosage concentrations of its beverage flavors. Refreshing flavors such as Old Fashioned Lemonade, Watermelon Agua Fresca, Wildberry Guava Agua Fresca and Strawberry Lemonade, are available in potent 2.2-oz shot-size bottles packing 100mg of THC, or more diluted 16oz bottles infused with the same amount. Either way, it’s recommended to mix either concentration into sodas, cocktails or other fluids, but if you’re looking for a warp-speed trip to the moon, the small bottle’s the trick.10MG THC/SERVING | 100MG THC/BOTTLE

MARY JONES SODASAnyone familiar with Jones Soda could have seen this coming. The kitschy, gleefully creative company has toyed with stoner-esque concoctions like the Turkey and Gravy soda flavor for decades. Now, with Mary Jones, the circle is complete. These infused sodas bring the same flavor quality to the table, but with

a kick. AVAILABLE IN 10MG THC OR 100MG THC VARIATIONS GOMARYJONES.COM @MARYJONESBRAND REVIEW BY TOM BOWERS @CANNABOMBTOM

MARI Y JUANA BEVERAGES CO CANNABIS-INFUSED SOFT DRINKSMore than just

a beverage company, Mari y Juana is a family-owned-and-operated business bringing the flavors of Mexico to California Cannabis consumers. Their lineup of soft drinks currently includes Tamarindo, Pina (Pineapple) and Guava flavors that are all absolutely delicious. At 10mg THC per 12oz bottle, you would think that there would only be just enough kick to be noticeable – but the infusions are made with rapidonset nano-enhanced Cannabis oil supplied by the weed wizards at Vertosa, and the difference is drastic and very noticeable. There is zero hint of Cannabis flavor, so all you get is full fruit flavor and sweetness, packed into a light-bodied, modestly-carbonated soda. 10MG THC/BOTTLE | DRINKMJ.COM @MARIJUANAFOODSCO

RICKETT BREWING INFUSED SPARKLING WINE Rickett Brewing’s high-end

infused sparkling wines are the perfect option for any special occasion. Their Jolie Fleur Blanc offers loads of white grape, honeydew melon and green apple flavor, while the Jolie Fleu Blanc delivers huge raspberry jam notes while still maintaining a nimble body and dry finish. Both have a delicate carb and nuanced complexity sure to please even the most discerning of palates. The wines contain no artificial flavoring or coloring, and are truly made to satisfy consumers who want nothing less than the best. Rickett Brewing recently began packaging these labor-intensive wines in 10oz cans, making them more

approachable, accessible and affordable. 10MG THC/CAN | RICKETTBREWING.COM @RICKETTBREWING REVIEW BY NATE WILLIAMS @NATEW425 HIGH POWER THC TINCTURE High Power syrups aren’t just cleverly named. At 1000mg of pure THC octane per bottle, this juice will squeeze you if you’re not careful. Just a capful gets you to 10mg. Start there before delving into the sweet, sticky depths with these syrups, which come in an array of flavors, including French Vanilla, Watermelon, Berry, and of course, Grape. They’d be great at a party, mixed into a Solo cup full of Sprite. 10MG THC/SERVING,100 SERVINGS/BOTTLE

KOAN CORDIALS

A classic drink we often associate with the Victorian era, cordials represented the drink of choice when entertaining friends or having people over. Koan is bringing these traditions forward with the idea of a Cannabis-infused, social-themed beverage for the modern gathering. Their six distinct formulations combine CBC and botanical flavors, blending them with a dose of 1mg, 6mg or 9mg of Delta-9 THC. Each pack contains three single-dose bottles that are half the height of a BIC lighter and are almost too convenient to keep in a

backpack, bag or coat pocket. | 3 SINGLE DOSE BOTTLES/PACKAGEKOAN.LIFE @KOAN.LIFE REVIEW BY MATT JACKSON @ACTIONMATTJACKSON

SPACE GEMS TINCTURE & GEM JUICE One of the most trusted

brands on the California scene, Space Gems has spent almost 10 years perfecting its craft. Available in two options, their outstanding beverages deliver a higher dose without making you down an entire bag or bottle, and are a staple for people who enjoy tasting a hint of Cannabis in their edibles. Their tinctures are a sweet, thick mix of fruit puree and cough syrup that will have you licking the cap afterward. Gem Juice is the 100mg cousin – with more of a simple syrup quality, it’s outstanding to sip on like a liqueur or mix into your ideal beverage. Both are pocketsized and make a perfect travel option for a solventless happy hour.

“MARGARITA” For those who not only love cannabinoids, but are also looking to replace their alcohol rituals with something more friendly, the Flora line of spirits and canned cocktails offers a high-end experience. The Delta 8 and Essence Hemp Spirit each feature light fruit and floral flavor tempered by a bitterness not unlike an aperitif. The company’s Passion Fruit “Margarita,” with 5mg THC and 10mg CBD, is a punchy sweetand-sour number, with strong fruit flavor, like P.O.G. with a kick. Either line would be good on the rocks, or cut with soda. VARYING POTENCIES

CERIA BREWING CANNABIS INFUSED ALCOHOL-FREE MALT BEVERAGES

Ceria Brewing’s Grainwave and Indiewave malt beverages began their lives as beer, and through the magical process of dealcoholization and infusion, have become something greater. The stats are impressive at 0% alcohol and 5mg and 10mg per 12oz can, with both styles clocking in at under 100 calories. The Grainwave is brewed similar to a classic wit or wheat beer with Hallertau hops and additions of coriander and orange peel. The Indiewave is more akin to an IPA with Cascade, Citra and Amarillo hops. Both drink fairly true to style, though hardcore beer nerds may be underwhelmed if their palates are well-traveled.
