Many THC beverages are great on their own -- like BREZ -- but sometimes it can be fun to make cannabis-infused mocktails. These replicate some of the same familiar flavors of your favorite alcoholic beverages, still give you a buzz, but give up the booze.
While there are many cannabis-infused drinks to choose from when making cannabis mocktails, we recommend using BRĒZ! BRĒZ is a sparkling social tonic with notes of Italian lemon and elderflower, and comes in 2.5mg & 5mg THC options so you can pick your ideal dose. It has the perfect citrusy, herbaceous flavor profile that makes the perfect mocktail mixer.
Below are our top 10 cannabis mocktail recipes. We hope you love them!
