2025 was a momentous year for the THC beverage market. Once confined to dispensary shelves, the industry has exploded in popularity thanks to the advent of hemp-derived THC, ushering in a tsunami of hazy, terpene-scented drinks in every flavor and format imaginable. Crushable seltzers for hot summer days, weed-tinged mocktails and enough THC lemonades to give Minute Maid a run for its money.

Though a looming federal hemp ban has put the category at a precarious crossroads, most brands have continued to chug along. We’re still getting plenty of new launches, a handful of which have championed fascinating innovations and never-before-seen flavor combinations. Tasting our way through the options, we’ve settled on twelve past and recent releases that exemplify the best the industry has to offer.

The below THC drinks were ranked by The Daily Pour’s Critics’ Score — our proprietary metric that aggregates our house rating with scores from the most trusted critics across the internet. In the case of a tie, we break it first by our house score, then by the number of aggregated reviews and finally alphabetically, when necessary.

12. Fizzy Jane’s Blood Orange

Tilray Brands, one of the biggest movers and shakers in the American cannabis industry, recently expanded into the hemp-derived THC market with Fizzy Jane’s. We got our hands on its 5-milligram Blood Orange flavor and found plenty to like. Billed as a low-calorie alternative within a notoriously sugary category, the drink has a bright, citrusy flavor rounded out by none-too-sweet hints of coriander, marmalade, orange blossom and, of course, ample grapefruit. Costs $15.99 per four-pack.

11. Onward Passionfruit Martini

It feels like everything is being turned into a martini these days. Though Onward’s twist on the concept isn’t briny, garnished or the least bit boozy, it packs all of the punch of a bona fide cocktail. Delivering 10 milligrams of THC and CBD per can, the drink leans into a jammy mix of passionfruit, candied papaya, cherry lollipop and peach flavor that sits halfway between a seltzer and a soda. Costs $19.99 per four-pack.

10. Triple High Lemonade

If you grew up around plastic screw-on lid, corner store lemonade brands like Minute Maid or Brisk, then Triple High Lemonade should hit the perfect spot. The uncarbonated, 10-milligram beverage is about as nostalgic as it gets, delivering a blast of recognizable flavor that somehow manages to disguise the weed funk aftertaste of so many of its competitors. This is a THC drink that we’d recommend to anybody, and is well worth its asking price of $19.99 per four-pack.

9. Upward Pink Lemonade

Read Our Review

Upward Pink Lemonade combines 10 milligrams of CBD and THC with green coffee beans and black tea leaves. In other words, it’s designed for a lively night on the town, not sleepy evenings by the fireplace. The unorthodox combo works a lot better than it might sound at first glance, homing in on a fairground lemonade flavor mixed with raspberries, orange and cherry. It’s a classic pink lemonade through and through, one that wisely stops short of turning into a full-fledged energy drink or THC seltzer. Costs $19.99 per four-pack.

8. Nowadays

We tasted our way through a whole lot of Nowadays this year, beginning with the brand’s flagship 10-milligram-per-serving, 166-milligrams-per-bottle beverage. Sipped in moderation, it’s easy to understand why the brand has quickly become one of the most popular on the market. The flavor profile goes all-in on a liquid sour candy vibe, decked out with sugary flavors of crushed SweeTarts, Lemonheads and grapefruit peel. An easy recommendation for anyone with a sweet tooth, the brand’s 750-milliliter High Dose costs $80 per bottle.

7. Cali Sober Berry Fizz

Cali Sober’s eyewateringly bright packaging disguises a drink that’s balanced and approachable in all the ways that count. Delivering 5 mg of THC per can, the carbonated beverage comprises a blend of strawberry, hibiscus and citrus flavors that mimic the juicy bite of a gin fizz. We were surprised to taste a big ginger note right off the bat, one that gave way to subtle undercurrents of berries and carbonation far less saccharine than its neon-pink exterior would suggest. For those in search of a relaxing buzz, Cali Sober costs $45 per six-pack.

6. Nowadays Cherry

Nowadays uncorked a trio of limited-edition bottlings this year, each of which perfected the brand’s large-format, signature bright and zippy flavor. Nowadays Cherry, available at half the THC concentration of the brand’s standard High Dose, is immediately distinguished by its silky smooth mouthfeel. Flashes of tart cherry, pomegranate juice and faint bubblegum combine for an excellent pour, one that we’d highly recommend combining with ginger ale for a hazy Shirley Temple. Costs $50 per bottle.

5. Nowadays Lemonade

Like many of its bright yellow contemporaries, Nowadays Lemonade is all about nostalgia. Check this one out if you’re fond of powdered Country Time drink mix, candied lemon peel and everything else citrus and sour. An unexpected dried mushroom note adds a subtle earthiness that feels right at home in a THC beverage, doing well to differentiate this from the sea of similarly flavored drinks on the market. Costs $50 per bottle.

4. Nowadays Cranberry

Of the four Nowadays offerings we tried this year, the brand’s Cranberry was hands down our favorite. The bottling has a lot to say beyond the expected cranberry vibes, settling into flavors of tart hibiscus tea, cherry, lemon and green apple that taste like a bouquet of fruit candy mixed with a ready-to-serve mocktail. The $50 bottle doesn’t require any mixing to be enjoyed.

3. Artet Cannabis Aperitif

Read Our Review

Artet’s classy twist on THC beverages pays homage to aperitifs like Campari and Aperol. Packing 2.5 mg of THC per 50 ml serving, the drink plays ball with botanicals like cardamom, allspice, ginger, chamomile, gentian root and juniper for a blast of bittersweet splendor. Aromas of white tea and mint give way to heady flavors of licorice, pine resin, grapefruit and tannins, rounded out by a hint of capsaicin heat and lingering black pepper on the finish. Clocking in at $40 per 750-milliliter bottle, Artet is a must-try for Negroni enjoyers and the otherwise candy-averse.

2. Tattersall Unwind

Read Our Review

The Wisconsin-based Tattersall Distilling released two spectacular THC beverages in November, our second favorite of which was Tattersall Unwind. Billed as a calming tonic, the bottle contains a motley blend of passionflower, reishi mushroom, CBD and CBN dosed with 2mg of THC per tablespoon. So far as flavor, expect something akin to a berry gin, and a remarkably complex one at that. Hints of blackberry jam, Maraschino cherry and bergamot oil dominate the aroma, followed by an intriguing mix of parsley, agave, pear and drying quinine on the palate. It’s spicy, slightly sweet, wonderfully botanical and totally unique stuff. Pour this $60 bottle over tonic water for a cozy night in.

1. Tattersall Uplift

Read Our Review

Tattersall knows its way around an excellent THC drink. The brand’s Uplift is not only the best hemp-derived beverage we tried this year, but maybe, just maybe, our current favorite of all time. Built around the same fundamentals as the distillery’s Unwind (a mix of CBD and CBG, 2mg of THC per tablespoon), the citrus-forward concoction homes in on a fresh and seasonal mix of orange, jasmine, lemon and wildflower flavors. The backend zags toward the bitter side, introducing flecks of kumquat, marmalade, sappy pine and juniper that do an excellent job imitating the bite of a bona fide liquor product. It’s the rare NA product that dazzles not only in function but in flavor, making for a truly special treat that we’d recommend to literally anybody. Costs $60 per bottle.
