HEYLO SPARKLE GRAPEFRUIT SPARKLING WATER

If you haven’t caught the fizzy water buzz yet, you’ve obviously never realized that La Croix is actually in Wisconsin. So it’s about time (thank you Heylo) that the Cannabis industry has an infused sparkling water! With zero calories, no sugar and a light grapefruit tingle that’s not too sour and just a tiny bit citrusy-sweet, this is the perfect drinkable edible that’s totally guilt-free.

MOJO BY FRACTAL INFUSED BLUE RASPBERRY AND PINEAPPLE

While the existential question of whether Blue Raspberry is more of a color than a flavor is up for debate, it’s undeniable that it’s delicious in so many ways. From making a homemade Italian soda to slurping it down straight like a kid chasing a sugar rush, the Blue Raspberry flavor is fruity and fun. We also love the Pineapple Soda, which is like the old-timey custom sodas you find at trendy stores. It tastes like a sweet tropical rush of fizzy pineapple and can easily be sipped straight or turned into a custom drink for a fun DIY mocktail.

MAJOR FRUIT PUNCH SHOT

Celebrate the season by spiking the punch with something other than booze, and embrace the California Sober lifestyle with the delicious Fruit Punch shot from Major. While sharing is caring, we’re also OK with keeping these tasty drinks for solo adventures. The 100mg THC is a perfect dose to get you more baked than the ham, and with tropical fruity flavors it’s a throwback to the Hawaiian Punch kids’ table drinks – but with a lot more fun infused! 100MG THC/BOTTLE

AGRO COUTURE BEVERAGES ROOT BEER FLOAT, STRAWBERRY LEMONADE AND BLUE RASPBERRY LEMONADE

The terptastic team at Slab Mechanix and Agro Couture jumped into the drinks game a year ago, adding 100mg shots to their lineup of tasty flower and dabs. We love their lemonade flavors, from the classic freshsqueezed Strawberry Lemonade to the hard to describe, easy to love color that’s a flavor, Blue Raspberry. But we’re most excited about the Root Beer Float, which combines nano-emulsified THC with a deliciously creamy, vanilla-licorice-caramel shot that’s a perfect dessert on it’s own, or mixed into a homemade float for the ultimate infused treat that will get you floating higher than the foam in the glass.

SINNERS & SAINTS BY EVERGREEN HERBAL ISLAND TIME LEMONADE TINCTURE AND POMEGRANATE SUGAR-FREE TINCTURE SHOT

While Santa might be obsessing over whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year, we don’t really care as long as it was fun – so carry on with the jubilation and get baked with a guilt and sugar-free shot of THC from Sinners & Saints. These drinks are tasty, easily slugged down or drank daintily one sip at a time (they are 100mg after all) and have no sugar! A perfect option for anyone who can’t have sugar medically, or those watching the waistband in preparation for holiday cookies.10MG THC/

RAY’S LEMONADE SHOTS TIGERS BLOOD LEMONADE 1:1; CITRUS KUSH, DRAGON FRUIT AND KIWI 100MG THC

Ray’s Lemonade can be thanked for starting the trend of delicious 100mg shooters that swept the Cannabis community like Blue Dream in 2010. These drinks are absolutely delicious, easily gulped down, or make a perfect addition to any cocktail/mocktail or holiday punch bowl. With new flavors like the earthy-sweet Citrus Kush, the Dragon Fruit with notes of pear and tropical fruit, or the Kiwi that’s as delicious as freshly-sliced fruit, these drinks pack a punch in a little bottle. Their newest addition is the 1:1 option with 50mg THC and CBD in a shot, with the tropical Tigers Blood Lemonade that blends watermelon, strawberry and coconut that’s perfect for enjoying straight. The combination of 50mg THC and CBD is a happy, carefree and floaty high that is perfect for the holidays – where finding the sweet spot between baked and stressfree is only a shot of Ray’s away.

A Mobius strip is a mathematical equation where a one-sided surface can connect back to itself in a twisty, rubber band-like symbol. A Mobius trip is when you drink one or more of these delicious beverages, getting completely baked off what tastes like an adult version of Kool Aid. We went right for the Blueberry, which is semi-sweet and lightly effervescent. The Strawberry is just as tasty, bringing visions of dancing berries holding hands with the Kool Aid man as he hits a bong. But our favorite is the Blood Orange 1:1, with 100mg each of THC and CBD, which combine for a powerful nano-emulsified high. It’s less sweet than orange juice, but vibrant with the perfect combination of citrus and tart berries for a nuanced, mellow drink.CRAFTCANNABIS.COM

SUN GAZE LEMON GINGER AND LIME AGAVE CANNABIS SELTZER

With 2.5mg of THC and 5mg of CBD, these Sun Gaze seltzers – a collaboration by Bale Breaker Brewing Company and Painted Rooster Cannabis Company – can be sipped throughout the day without getting you too stoned. The Lemon Ginger flavor tastes like fresh-squeezed lemonade with just a hint of carbonation and ginger on the backend, while the Lime Agave reminds us of a mocktail margarita. 2.5MG THC

SOULSHINE SATIVA LODI DODI WATERMELON AND INDICA HIMALAYAN BLACKBERRY

It’s rare to find a solventless Cannabis beverage, so we were excited to see Soulshine’s new bubble hash-infused drinks on our list this year. These strain-specific, full-spectrum drinks are made using a solventless ice-water extraction and nanoemulsification process. Sip sparingly – these surprisingly don’t taste too weedy, but man will that hash hit you hard.

These shooters are so tasty, they don’t even need a mixer – but if you are going to use one, we recommend pouring the Tart Lemonade into a Sprite for a surprisingly delicious sour citrus pairing with a little bit of festive fizz.

MOTHER PUCKER BY FRACTAL INFUSED INFUSED SPARKLING LEMONADE

RAY’S LEMONADE ICED TEA LEMONADE AND DIET RASPBERRY LEMONADE

We love Ray’s little lemonade’s, and the big ones are just as fun with new twists on classic drinks. Up first is a personal favorite: the Arnold Palmer aka the Iced Tea Lemonade. Perfectly balanced with the sweetness of lemonade and the acidity of the tea, this delicious drink is a great mixer or refreshing on its own, especially poured over ice. We love the Diet Raspberry Lemonade, which tastes like an infused Brisk drink with tart berries and lemons without any sugar. Finally a drink for those who can’t have sugar – complete with a sweet taste and the heady buzz that Ray’s is known for.

10MG THC/SERVING | 100MG THC/BOTTLE RAYSLEMONADE.COM @RAYSINFUSEDLEMONADE REVIEW BY WES ABNEY @BEARDEDLORAX

Pucker up for a big kiss of THC with this tasty infused lemonade. Lightly carbonated with the perfect amount of effervescence, this tastes like a Smirnoff Ice without the alcohol or artificial flavor – so basically a better version all the way around! We found this drink easily sippable, perfectly refreshing and with a potent buzz – it was ‘bottoms up’ for this Mother Pucker. @FRACTAL_INFUSED
