Frequently Asked Questions

What are THC seltzers?

THC seltzers are just like regular fruit seltzers, but they’re infused with delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, the compound that causes cannabis’s uplifting effects.

What is the legal status of THC-infused drinks?

As of June 2025, products that contain less than 0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight are legal at the federal level, according to the 2018 Farm Bill. State laws and regulations vary widely.

Can I make CBD-infused seltzers?

Yes, cannabis-infused beverages don’t necessarily have to use THC. Many consumers prefer the mild effects of CBD (cannabidiol). Offering both is a great way to target a larger demographic, and full-spectrum products with both types of cannabinoids are super popular.

Why THC Seltzers Are Taking Off

  • Health-Minded Consumers: A big reason why so many people are gravitating toward THC-infused drinks comes down to a declining interest in alcohol. Of course, alcohol isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, but many health-conscious and sober-curious people are looking for a way to unwind or party without the hangover. 
  • The Younger Generation: Younger adults are drinking less these days. A Gallup survey showed that 62% of adults under 35 drink, a significant fall from 72% two decades ago. 
  • Cannabis Enthusiasts: Cannabis-infused beverages are a natural fit for the cannabis community, which is famously known for experimenting with different strains, dosing with all sorts of devices, and enjoying THC in a wide range of forms, from flower and concentrates to edibles and tinctures to vapes and inhalers.
  • Medicinal Users: Not all cannabis users want to light up or consume extra calories. Being able to open the fridge and crack a refreshing seltzer allows for discreet, hassle-free dosing.
  • Social Media: What are THC seltzers often called on social media? Gardening drinks! Tons of influencers and their followers have jumped on the trend, and those numbers are rising fast.
  • Edible Enjoyers: Cannabis-infused beverages are drinkable edibles! The classic brownie has become a cultural staple, and today’s cannabis enthusiasts are spoiled with everything from lollipops and gummies to butters and popcorn. Drinks are the obvious next step!
  • Non-Smokers: These drinks provide an odorless, flame-free way to unwind and let the good times roll.
  • Recreational Adventurers: From days spent sunbathing at the beach to weekend camping trips in the forest, THC seltzers are a special treat that add a celebratory element to the occasion.

How to Board the Bubbly Train

If you’re already making craft beverages, you’re in a perfect position to take advantage of the rapidly growing interest in cannabis-infused beverages. Just make sure to thoroughly research and follow your state’s laws, as well as laws where you plan to distribute.

Just like beer, kombucha, cider, or wine, crafting a winning recipe is the key to standing out from the competition. Fortunately, you’re in the right place! Our aseptic fruit puree is a game-changer, making it possible to give your seltzers real, authentic fruit flavor and just the right amount of sweetness without the high cost and hassle of using fresh fruit.

THC seltzers are essentially just water with bubbles, flavor, and THC. Producing cannabis-infused beverages is surprisingly easy (especially if you already have drink-making infrastructure in place), and you don’t need to grow or buy cannabis. 

THC distillate is a highly concentrated cannabis extract that can be added to drinks with ease. You’ll just need to make it water-soluble. Liposomal encapsulation and nanoemulsion are popular methods.
