The Rise of Elevated Mocktails: 5 THC Drinks Changing Nightlife
While alcohol consumption is more widespread overall, national survey data shows that daily or near-daily marijuana smoking surpassed daily alcohol consumption in the U.S. in 2022, with 17.7 million daily cannabis users compared to 14.7 million daily drinkers.(1)
This means restaurants, bars and entertainment establishments are leaving money on the table excluding those who don't drink. Cannabis drinks are growing significantly faster as consumers increasingly use them as a substitute for alcohol.
The obvious solution is offering elevated THC mocktails as an offering to their cannabis enthusiast crowd. While it's easy to provide a canned beverage, like Wyld Sparkling Waters or the Farmer Made Lemonades and Spritzers, many bars and clubs have begun to offer fancy non-alcoholic, THC infused, elevated mocktails to their customers.

How Are Mocktails Elevated?
Many think mocktails are just a few tincture drops in a Shirley temple or a CBD beverage, but it's much more than that.
With developments in product Manufacturing in the Cannabis industry, there are now professionally cultivated beverage additives that you can purchase now for your bar, club or restaurant!

It’s a zero-sugar, unflavored THC liquid made to infuse anything. Each shot/serving delivers 10mg THC, which you can add to mocktails, sweet tea, lemonade, or recipes for a liquor-style ritual without the alcohol. (3)
