HOW SIP HIT DIFFERENTLY

Sip, although not a seltzer per se, shrinks THC via nanoemulsion so cannabinoids slip into your bloodstream quickly and evenly. We prefer to leave the bubbles out so you can dress it up how you want or sip it straight. Fewer “I. don’t. feel. anything” rookie mistakes, more predictable vibes. Toss in real fruit, 50 calories, zero added sugar, and you’ve got a guilt free wing mate for sunset hikes.

FLAVOR LINE UP: WHICH SIP SUITS YOUR SCENE?

Hurricane — tropical mood lifter for rooftop DJs.
Wild Berry — feels like a bear hug from a cloud..
Sunset Punch — passion blended with orange, perfect after hot yoga.
Watermelon — Netflix and chill ready..
Each variety clocks 10 mg, 50 mg, or 100 mg THC so you can micro-dose or mellow-dose and still ace tomorrow’s 7 a.m. barre class.

ONSET & DURATION: WHEN WILL YOU FEEL THE BUBBLES?

Expect liftoff in 15–30 minutes with peaks around the one hour mark and a glide of 3–6 hours (quicker than brownies, steadier than vapes). A light snack first can smooth absorption and keep you hovering in the sweet spot.

CALORIES & CLEAN INGREDIENTS: WILL IT FIT YOUR WELLNESS VIBE?

Sip tucks into the 55 calorie lane, about one-third of a craft IPA’s 150+ calorie punch. Swap malt and hops for purified water, organic fruit, and hemp extract and your macros stay on point.

THC SELTZER VS. CBD SELTZER: KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

CBD seltzers keep you zen without head change; THC seltzers bring a buzz. Think of CBD as yoga for your nervous system and THC as the post class dance party. Both pair well with mindfulness playlists, but only THC will send memes from your brain to your grin.

SOCIAL VIBES & ACTIVITY PAIRINGS: WHERE THC SELTZER OUTSHINES BOOZE

Unlike alcohol, cannabis drinks skip dehydration bloat and those embarrassing “Who did I text?” moments. Harvard experts note there are still unknowns, so moderation matters, yet cannabis drinks generally pose fewer health risks than alcohol’s liver lover reputation. Harvard Health Paddle boarding, gaming, or backyard grilling, seltzer keeps your coordination mostly intact and your vibe inclusive for sober pals.
