Available nationwide, you can find THC drinks at your local grocery store, on the menu at bars, and at concerts and festivals.
If you're a beer drinker who's been THC-curious, or want a break from alcohol while still enjoying the social ritual of having something cold in your hand, this is your guide.
Check out the best THC drinks that we've tried in 2026 below, and find your new favorite beverage for socializing, relaxing, and enjoying.
What Are THC Drinks?
THC drinks are beverages infused with hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, the same compound responsible for cannabis's effects, sourced from hemp plants and legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. As long as the product contains less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight and is derived from hemp, it's federally legal and can ship to most states.
The category covers a lot of ground: canned seltzers, ready-to-drink cocktails, shots, iced teas, and spirit alternatives you can mix yourself. Potency ranges from a beginner-friendly 5 mg per serving to a highly potent 50 mg per can.
How Do THC Drinks Work?
Most quality THC beverages use nano-emulsified THC. That means the cannabinoid is broken into microscopic particles that blend into liquid and are absorbed through mucous membranes and the GI tract.
That's the technical way of saying they hit faster than an edible. Where a gummy might take 30 to 90 minutes to kick in, a good THC drink typically does it in around 15 minutes.
That faster timeline is part of what makes THC drinks a natural alcohol alternative. You can sip at a party and feel the effects in real time, rather than playing the edibles guessing game. The experience is also easier to control. Sip more slowly, feel less; drink faster, feel more. It's more intuitive than dosing gummies.
How Strong Should Your THC Drink Be?
That depends on your tolerance. Here's a rough framework:
5 mg: Great starting point for newcomers or anyone sensitive to THC. The equivalent of a light drink.
10 mg: A solid choice for regular cannabis consumers or those replacing a couple of cocktails.
20 mg: For experienced users. Sip slowly and gauge your reaction before finishing the whole can.
50 mg: High-potency for seasoned consumers. Treat it as several servings.
When you're new to THC drinks, start with 5 mg and wait 30 minutes before deciding whether you want more. There's no reason to rush.
Will THC Drinks Show Up on a Drug Test?
Yes. Hemp-derived THC is still THC, and standard drug tests don't distinguish between hemp and marijuana sources. If you're subject to drug testing at work or elsewhere, proceed with caution, because all these beverages will result in a positive test.
The 7 Best THC Drinks of 2026
Best THC Drink for Beginners: 5 mg Crescent 9 THC Seltzer Variety Pack

If you're new to THC drinks and don't know where to start, this is the bundle for you. The 5 mg Crescent 9 THC Seltzer Variety Pack comes in four flavors — tropical, ginger lemonade, raspberry lime, and sour watermelon — and each has 5 mg THC and 4 mg CBD. The CBD smooths the experience and mellows the onset, exactly what a beginner needs.
The calorie count ranges from 40 to 100 calories per can, and the flavors are legitimately good. Every flavor in the Crescent 9 lineup has won national awards, including 18 medals from the High Spirits Awards from 2025 to 2026.
Best for THC Mocktails: Ellora 5 mg THC-Infused Spirit Alternative

Most THC drinks are canned and ready to drink. Ellora THC-Infused Spirit Alternative is different: a foundation you pour, mix, and build cocktails around. It's designed for the bar cart, not the cooler.
The 5 mg version is the most approachable. Each Ellora serving delivers 5 mg THC, with 85 mg per bottle. The flavor profile is citrus-forward with organic blue agave and floral botanicals; subtly sweet, medium-bodied, with the layered complexity you'd expect from a premium spirit. No fizz, no alcohol burn, a clean finish.
Ellora works well in a chilled glass for slow sipping, on the rocks, or blended into cocktails. It shines in citrusy drinks like lemon drops, THC sours, ranch water-style drinks with sparkling water and lime, or a blackberry bramble. Its blue agave base brings a spirited richness that most THC beverages don't even attempt.
Best for Regular Consumers: 10 mg Crescent 9 THC Seltzer Variety Pack

Ten milligrams has become the sweet spot for regular THC drinkers. The 10 mg Crescent 9 THC Seltzer Variety Pack is one of Crescent Canna's best-selling items. It hits the sweet spot between beginner and advanced potencies.
At 10 mg, you're in the territory of replacing two or three cocktails, a solid evening buzz that keeps you present and social without tipping into foggy. Flavors include raspberry lime, sour watermelon, grape lemonade, and ginger lemonade. Raspberry lime is the standout: brightly acidic, full-bodied, closer to a soda than a seltzer.
Beginners should start with half a can and gauge the effects before going further. For regular consumers, a full can is a smooth, controllable experience.
Best THC Liquor: Ellora 20 mg THC-Infused Spirit Alternative

If the 5 mg Ellora is the glass of wine of THC spirits, the Ellora 20 mg THC Spirit is the bottle of tequila. Each serving packs 20 mg THC and 340 mg per bottle and is designed for advanced consumers who want an intense, customizable experience.
Because Ellora is meant to be sipped slowly or mixed, a single bottle provides a sophisticated evening ritual that lasts through many occasions. Pour it neat for full potency. Add sparkling water for a lighter libation. Mix it into a sour with lemon and simple syrup when you want to be fancy.
Ellora's effects are felt in about 15 minutes, thanks to water-soluble THC, with a peak typically between two and four hours and a total duration of three to six hours. This is a full evening drink, not a party opener.
Best for High Tolerance Consumers: 50 mg Crescent 9 THC Seltzer Variety Pack

In mainstream retail, the 50 mg Crescent 9 THC Seltzer Variety Pack is among the strongest of nationally distributed hemp-derived THC beverages. Crescent 9 was one of the first brands to put a 50 mg product into thousands of stores across the country.
Most consumers treat the 50 mg can as a several-serving drink. One can that's sipped throughout an evening provides a very different experience than drinking that same can in one sitting. Former smokers and veteran edibles users tend to be the primary audience, people who know their tolerance and want efficiency.
Flavors include the award-winning raspberry lime, grape lemonade, and strawberry lemonade. The strawberry lemonade, layered with real strawberry puree, tastes like a treat you'd order at a high-end juice bar.
Best THC Shot: Drink Loud
Perfect for enjoying on the go, Drink Loud THC Shots are compact, so you can slip them into your pocket or purse. They deliver a fast, concentrated dose of THC in a small 1.7 fl oz package, useful when you want something quick and discreet rather than a whole can.
Available with a potent dose of 100 mg THC, these are geared more toward advanced cannabis consumers, but it's still recomended that you take a swig of the shot versus the whole bottle at once.
Try them in four delicious flavors: Pink Lemonade, Cucumber Haze, Kush Berry, and Maui Blast.
Best THC Iced Tea: Uncle Arnie's THC Iced Tea
Uncle Arnie's has earned a devoted fan base in the California THC beverage market by making one thing really well: THC-infused iced tea that actually tastes like iced tea — refreshing, with a clean THC buzz.
The brand has expanded its distribution, and the iced tea format scratches an itch for consumers who want something familiar and comforting rather than a seltzer or spirit alternative. If you reach for a sweet tea on a hot day, Uncle Arnie's fits that bill.
Finding Your THC Drink
There's no single "best" THC drink. There's a best THC drink for your tolerance, your occasion, and your taste.
The 5 mg THC drinks are the most forgiving entry into the category; fast-acting, great-tasting, and a dose that won't overwhelm. Once you know how they hit your sensibility and your tolerance, you can experiment.
THC drinks work best when you drink them like drinks. Sip, wait, and enjoy the ride. Like any other one, your relationship with these products gets better once you know each other.
Some cities have breweries. Fort Collins has a beer community.
There's a difference. It's the difference between a taproom and a living room, between a transaction and a conversation, between just drinking and actually belonging somewhere. Fort Collins has spent years building something that feels less like an industry and more like a neighborhood - and Beer Week is when that neighborhood throws a party.
Fort Collins Beer Week exists to celebrate that: the brewers who obsess over every fermentation decision, the taprooms that remember your name, and the people who keep showing up, pint after pint, year after year. Think of it as one big, citywide toast to craft beer - and everyone's invited.
This badge means you showed up too. You checked in somewhere in the Fort Collins area during Beer Week 2026 - and that makes you part of something worth raising a glass to.
The Fort Collins Brewery Alliance brings Beer Week together because we believe craft beer is about more than what's in the glass. It's about the conversations that happen over it, the relationships built because of it, and the community that grows around it. A week like this doesn't happen without brewers who care, locals who explore, and visitors who make the trip.
So whether this was your first Fort Collins pint or your hundredth - welcome to Beer Week. Drink well, drink local, and come back soon.
Badge Criteria: Check-in one (1) beer at any participating Fort Collins Brewery (see list below) between June 22, 2026 and June 28, 2026.

Cider is as old as the apple trees John Chapman (better known as Johnny Appleseed) tended to in America in the early nineteenth century.
Actually, this fermented apple beverage has roots that go back even further. As the story goes, when the Romans invaded England around 55 BCE, they discovered Celts already enjoying cider.
Nowadays, cider is enjoyed in many forms. From dry to sweet and spiced to hopped, "hard" cider runs the entire gamut of flavor and aroma.
Here's a little *in-cider* info: In previous years, drinks in the "Cider - Traditional" category notched an incredible 2 million check-ins on the app in a single year.
However you drink your apples, celebrate this World Cider Day on June 3rd, 2026, with one of the globe's tastiest and most historical drinks.
And once you get your cider on, the only thing left to do is check it in.

Mikkeller Beer Week is already underway and Mikkeller Beer Celebration kicks off this Friday.
We've updated the Untappd badges for 2026. During MBW, unlock location-based badges for making the rounds across all Mikkeller's Copenhagen bars – and yes, the airport bar counts. At MBCC, it's all about breweries and beers checked in: from your first 10 breweries to a slightly worrying 800 beers.
We're thrilled to announce that Untappd is teaming up with Ales for ALS in 2026.
This one means a lot to us. The craft beer community has always been about more than what's in the glass, it's about the people, the stories, and showing up for each other when it matters most. Collaborating with Ales for ALS is our way of putting that belief into action. Together, we're rallying breweries, beer lovers, and Untappd users across the country around a cause that deserves every bit of energy we can give it: ending ALS.
If you've ever raised a glass and thought, "I wish this could do more," we've got some good news for you! The Ales for ALS program turns exactly that wish into reality. Partnering breweries across the country brew special beers, host release parties and festivals, and direct the proceeds toward ALS research at the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI).
Below is a list of upcoming events hosted by Ales for ALS partner breweries across the United States:
Many of these events are free to attend and offer a chance to try special release beers brewed in support of Ales for ALS. To stay up to date on upcoming events, visit the Ales for ALS event directory.
Can't make any event, but still want to contribute to the cause?
ALS affects roughly 30,000 Americans at any given time. It's relentless, it's fatal, and it remains without a cure. The Ales for ALS program isn't a cure, but it's a community-powered engine that keeps research funded and keeps the conversation going, one pint at a time.
The craft beer community has always punched above its weight when it comes to giving back. Local taprooms are gathering places where neighborhoods come together, where strangers become regulars, and where causes find their champions. Ales for ALS taps into that perfectly. Breweries don't just write a check, they brew a dedicated special release beer, throw events, and get their regulars fired up. It turns passive support into something you can taste, pour, and share.
The Top-Rated Box is back—and this time, it's higher-rated, higher-ABV, and higher intensity than ever.

From ultra-luxe barrel-aged stouts to dangerously dialed-in hazies—this is a lineup built differently. Straight heaters only!
Every beer in this box earns its spot the only way that matters: through ratings from the Untappd community. That means you're getting the best of what everyone's talking about right now.
And like any true grail release… it won't last. We kept quantities tight to keep quality high. Once they're gone, they're gone.
So if you've ever wanted to drink at the very top of the mountain—this is your moment.
