Everything You Need to Know About Cannabis Drinks

January 19, 2021

Our marketing team pitched the name “Drinkables” but it just didn’t sound as snappy as edibles. So, here you are to learn everything you need to know about cannabis drinks. (You can still call them drinkables if you want.)

What is a Cannabis Beverage?

Well, it’s in the name. Cannabis beverages are drinks that have cannabis-infused into them. No big deal right? Well, we think it’s kind of a big deal.

Traditionally, cannabis beverages have needed fatty ingredients in order to dissolve correctly — which lead to many dairy-based weed cocktails. Don’t get us wrong, milkshakes rule, but variety is nice. Thanks to science (huzzah), we now have a wide array of beverages with everyone’s favourite flower inside.

What’s in Cannabis Drinks?

Shockingly enough — the main ingredient is elements of cannabis: THC, CBD, terpenes, other cannabinoids and more. Of course, THC and CBD content can vary based on what type of experience the drink is trying to achieve. 

Other ingredients also vary quite a bit based on flavours — terpenes and THC/CBD content affects flavour quite a bit, but many drinks have added ingredients including sugar and artificial flavouring.

What do They Taste Like?

There’s a drink for every palate. Tweed’s Bakerstreet and Ginger has a ginger ale flavour, Veryvell’s Sicilian Lemon is for the citrus heads, Houseplant has a strong grapefruit flavour, Everie has a soothing lavender chamomile Tea and the list goes on.

Taste can depend on a few things — THC/CBD content, terpenes and added ingredients. Added ingredients like sugar or artificial flavouring can make cannabis drinks more akin to store-bought sodas, while terpenes can give it a more natural flavour. THC/CBD content however will greatly affect flavour — if both are in abundance, the taste of the drink will be more “earthy” or taste more like cannabis in general. Tweed’s Deep Space for example has 10mg of THC per can and takes on the taste of cannabis quite a bit.

Types of Cannabis Drinks

Soda/Pop

These are carbonated cannabis drinks that often come in a can or a glass bottle. They often have added ingredients like sugar or artificial flavouring and come in a variety of flavours. They are ready to drink after cooling in the refrigerator.

Tea

These are bags filled with cannabis and tea leaves that can be steeped with boiling water. Cannabis tea bags are great for dose control as the longer you steep it — the stronger the tea will become.

Dry Mix

These are bags filled with a dissolvable powder to be put in water to create a cannabis drink. These are also great for dose control and can be stored much easier than pre-made cannabis drinks.
