THC drinks have become a go-to for many cannabis users because they’re easy on the throat, kick in faster, and tend to leave people feeling better the next day. They also come with one reliable side effect: the munchies. So instead of raiding the pantry at midnight, we’re snacking on purpose.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best hemp-infused drinks on the market, each with a snack to sip alongside it, so every beverage comes with a full belly, a happy mind, and a flavor match that tastes as good as it feels.
Different moods call for different drinks. When you want something quick and no-fuss, a THC shot like Cheech & Chong’s fits the bill, especially with a solid snack alongside it.
Comedy legends Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong started their cannabis company in 2020, and the Legends Shots are one of the brand’s newer drops. Each shot packs 25mg of hemp-derived THC, and the brand says it can kick in within as little as 15 minutes. There are two vibes to choose from: the mixed berry Chonged, made with CBD and CBN for an indica-style chill, and the pink lemonade Cheeched, which swaps in CBG and CBC for a sativa-style lift.
This is a shot, not a sipper: big, sweet, fruity flavor with a fast-acting kick. Take a sip to keep things chill, and save the full swig for when you know how it lands. Since 25mg is a lot, newer users should start small and wait before going back in.
The mixed berry shot is sweet and fruity up front, with a dessert-like profile and a signature berry tang on the finish. It’s built for a chill session, but a little extra sustenance takes it up a notch. That’s where chocolate-covered strawberries come in. You get the snap of the chocolate shell and a rich, decadent bite, while the juicy, slightly tart strawberry inside balances the sweetness and echoes that tang.
The pink lemonade shot is bright and citrusy with a tart edge. If you’re up and moving, sweet-on-sweet can turn your stomach, so go savory. Korean fried chicken with honey butter sits right between sweet and salty, with a crackly crunch and a sticky glaze. The richness mellows the lemonade’s acidity, and the honey butter picks up its sweetness. It’s hearty enough to keep you fueled while you get things done, and bold enough to hold its own against the lemonade.
But not every drink is meant to be shot back. Some are made for sipping, and that’s where OCHOxs Higher Level Lemonade makes its grand entrance.
This one is for people who like to push the boundaries a little. It’s a much bigger drink than the Cheech & Chong shot, with 250mg of Delta-9 THC in a 16 oz bottle, and it’s made with experienced consumers in mind. OCHOxs Higher Level Lemonade breaks down into 12 servings, which works out to roughly 21mg each, so it’s meant to be portioned out, not finished in one go. It comes in four flavors (Blue Razz, Citrus Burst, Peach Ring, and Strawburst), and all of them sit on that bold, sour lemonade base with a big citrus punch.
If you want a switch-up from gummies, this is a good one. Liquid drinks are generally pitched as faster-acting compared to traditional edibles, and since this is a sipper you can pour a serving, wait, and see how you feel before pouring another. With a dose this high, newer users should start with less than a full serving.
It also helps to plan your snacks. Here’s how to pair it across three different occasions:
Grab a light, airy berry pastry from your local coffee shop. It echoes the berry flavors and gives you a gentle starting point without loading you up on sweets.
A coronation chicken sandwich is creamy from the yogurt and chutney, with chicken and herbs for a savory, filling finish. It’s satisfying without being heavy, and the fruity chutney plays well with Peach Ring. If you’d rather go lighter, the cucumber-dill sandwich is cool and herbaceous, a nice contrast to the lemonade’s sour kick. A fruit salad on the side keeps everything fresh.
Grilled fish and citrus are a classic match, and the lemonade does the job of a squeeze of lemon. The sweet potato fries add a sweet-salty crunch, and the brie dip brings creamy richness. It’s hearty without being heavy, so you can enjoy the night in or out without feeling weighed down.
Just remember it’s 12 servings, so spread them over a few sessions and give each one time to land before you pour the next.
Sometimes the night calls for something a little more grown-up than lemonade. Enter Delta Cannabis Spirit, an alcohol-free spirit made for sipping slowly or shaking into a mocktail.
This zero-proof spirit is a THC and CBD blend with about 17 servings per bottle and 167mg of THC in total. Each 1.5 fl oz serving has 10mg of THC and 2mg of CBD, so it’s easy to measure out exactly what you want. It’s a great pick for nights when you want the ritual of a drink without the alcohol.
The Delta Cannabis Spirit comes in one bold flavor, blood orange vanilla. Unlike the lemonade and the shots, this one has a deeper, richer profile, with bright citrus up front and smooth vanilla underneath.
The bottle looks like a classic spirit, which makes it a fun addition to a hangout with friends who skip alcohol. Ask first, make sure everyone knows it contains THC before anyone pours, and store it where no one could mistake it for regular liquor.
The easiest way to enjoy it is as a mocktail. Pour a measured serving over ice, add a little agave, top it with sparkling water, and finish with a splash of your favorite juice. It’s still fully loaded with THC, so measure your pour instead of eyeballing it. It’s a weekend sipper, best enjoyed in a hammock with nowhere to be.
Like most good things, it’s better with food. Make your fun little mocktail, then grab bruschetta or a prosciutto pizza and settle in. The bruschetta’s juicy, slightly acidic tomato picks up the blood orange, while the prosciutto pizza brings salt and fat that play against the sweet vanilla.
What I like about pizza is that you can go one slice at a time and take it as slow as you want. You probably won’t finish the whole pizza in one sitting, and you shouldn’t finish the bottle in one sitting either. This drink is about sitting back and relaxing, so lean into it: pour one serving, wait, and see how you feel before you pour another.
Not a mocktail person? If you’re more of a fizzy-drink type, Amigos Cannabis Soda 50mg has you covered.
This one is made for hanging out. Amigos is a THC soda with a bubbly, carbonated vibe and a touch of juice for that classic infused-soda experience. Let me set the scene: it’s a backyard BBQ with friends, someone pulls out the Casamigos, and you say, “I have one better.”
The Amigos Cannabis Soda goes down easy, and since it’s alcohol-free, you skip the alcohol hangover. But don’t let the soda taste fool you. Each 16 oz can has 50mg of hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, which is a lot for one sitting. Sip it slowly over a long hangout and pause between sips to see how it lands. It comes in two flavors: lemon lime and grape.
Since you’re at a BBQ, it only makes sense to pair it with something off the grill. Whether it’s ribs, tacos, or a burger, you’ll want a hearty base, because carbonation on an empty stomach can feel a little busy. A solid meal settles things and makes the whole experience better.
Lemon Lime: BBQ ribs are the move. The smoky, savory richness gives the citrusy fizz something to cut through.
Grape: Go for a burger or tacos. They’re a little lighter than ribs, and their salty, savory bite balances the sweetness of the grape.
Sip slowly, share with friends, and ride the train to THC town together.
Food and drink go hand in hand, so why mess with the formula when you’re curating the perfect session? THC drinks are all the rage right now, and honestly, they’re a great alternative to alcohol. Whether you reach for a shot, a sipper, a spirit, or a soda, there’s a snack out there that makes it better. If none of my pairings sound right to you, that’s fine too, just make sure you eat something. Being lifted with the munchies and no snacks nearby is sacrilegious.
So sip, snack, and let the good vibes take over. Full stomach, full spirit, and an elevated state of mind.
