Cannabis beverages are cool for summer

If you’re interested in cutting down on your alcohol intake, there are a number of Washington-made cannabis-infused beverages to try if you’d like something tasty to sip during social events … er, when social events are permitted again.

Mirth Provisions (mirthprovisions. com) has several blends. Its line of nat- ural sparkling tonics called Legal are a mix of bubbles, fruit and locally-sourced ingredients. At only 150 calories per bot- tle, it is available in pomegranate, lemon ginger, Rainier cherry, cranberry and espresso mocha. A high potency Medici- nal version is also available.

Mirth’s Giant herbal shots come in four unique experiences. Waking Giant is the sativa beverage, Gentle Giant is an indica beverage, Jolly Giant is a hybrid and Mental Giant is 1:1 CBD/THC. Giant comes in eight flavors, Guarana, Rooibos, Hibiscus, Gingko Biloba, Alpha Pinene, Yerba Mate, Rhodiola Rosea and Be- ta-Caryophyllene.

Lehua Brands (lehuabrands.com) also offers a few beverage lines to quench your thirst. Olala professes to bring the “Aloha spirit” to your cannabis-infused sodas. The winner of Best Beverage at the 2019 Terpe Festival, Olala comes in a range of flavors, from tropical fruits like mango, pineapple and guava to tradi- tional soda favorites, like Orange Cream and Classic Cola. Olala is also available as infused sparkling water and terpene tonic water.

How about a little something extra in your morning coffee? Lehua’s Andiamo cannabis coffee K-Cups are packed with European-roasted premium blend 100 percent Arabica beans, available with THC or THC/CBD blends in six-pack and three-pack boxes. The pods are recy- clable, too!
