Generally, these drinks are reminiscent of hard seltzers and, as is the case with that category, the quality can vary dramatically. Here are three standouts:
Louie Louie. We think this is the most delicious of the THC- and CBD-infused beverages. At 50 calories and 13 grams of sugar, it hasthe highest carb counton our list, but a little extra sugar goes a long way toward a more pleasant mouthfeel and a delightful taste. It’s available in threeflavors, but cucumber ginger is at the top of our list. Currently it’s available only in 5-milligram strength.drinklouielouie.com
Climbing Kites. These are infused sparkling waters, akin to a LaCroix. They’re refreshing and light, with zero sugar and zero calories. There are four flavors available, and they come in 2.5-, 5- and 10-milligram THC and CBD strengths. Peach prickly pear (5 milligrams) and mixed berry (10 milligrams) stood out to us, but all the flavors were pleasant, with no unpleasant, artificial aftertaste.climbingkites.com
Nowadays. This drink’s versatileTHC infusions are available as spritzy canned drinks in multiple flavors. You also can get them in bottles, for making your own inventive concoctions, including 2-ounce “shot” bottles, perfect for on-the-go enjoyment. Both versions are available at varying strengths. While the original flavor lands somewhere between the Zima beverage and Sweet-Tarts candy, the spicy lime is a fun version that margarita and ranch water enthusiasts could get behind. trynowadays.com
