Cannabis beverages are making waves in the world of mindful consumption. With more people seeking elevated alternatives to alcohol, THC-infused spirits and THC seltzers are changing the game. Each offers a distinct path to enjoying cannabis, whether you're chasing a calm evening buzz or a lively social lift.
At Anomaly Beverages, we believe your cannabis experience should complement your lifestyle. So, how do you choose between a THC seltzer or spirit? Let’s explore both, from how they taste to how they make you feel, and find the right choice for you.
Why THC Drinks Are Becoming the Go-To Alternative
Today’s consumers are choosing cannabis drinks for reasons that go beyond just getting high. They're opting for functionality, control, and freedom from alcohol’s downsides. These drinks offer:
-

-
✨No hangovers, no liver strain
-

What Are THC-Infused Spirits?
THC spirits are zero-proof alternatives to traditional liquor, made to mimic the depth, warmth, and complexity of spirits, minus the alcohol. They're typically infused with 5–10mg of THC per ounce, offering a potent and longer-lasting high. These beverages aren’t meant to be chugged; they’re designed to be sipped or mixed into cocktails, delivering an elevated and controlled experience.
Unlike sugary edibles or smelly smoking sessions, THC spirits offer a refined ritual. You can craft a cannabis-infused Manhattan, Negroni, or Mule that tastes as sophisticated as the original, but with a smoother aftermath. For those moving away from alcohol but still craving playing bartender, THC spirits are a natural transition.
What Are THC Seltzers?
THC seltzers are light, crisp, and casually functional. Infused with lower doses of THC (usually 2.5-10mg per can), they’re a perfect entry point for cannabis-curious consumers or anyone seeking a daytime-friendly buzz. Their appeal lies in their simplicity: pop the top, sip, and feel it within 10 to 30 minutes.
Seltzers often use nano-emulsified THC, which is absorbed faster than oil-based edibles. This allows for a clean, smooth onset that’s easier to manage. Plus, their subtle fruit-forward flavors make them easy to pair with food, outdoor activities, or social gatherings.
These drinks are popular with people who:
-
🍃Want to avoid alcohol but crave social ease
-
🍃Prefer mild, controllable highs
-
🍃Need a convenient and portable THC option
Looking for something fruity and uplifting?
Crack open a Moondust Melon THC seltzer and enjoy a refreshingly mellow vibe. Pairs perfectly with daytime hangs or a sunset chill.
Choosing the Right THC Drink for You
The right cannabis beverage really depends on your goals. Consider your tolerance, setting, and the type of high you're seeking.
THC spirits work best if you enjoy:
-
💚Evening routines or cocktail culture
-
💚Slower onset, longer-lasting effects
-
💚Mixing your own customized drinks
THC seltzers are ideal when you:
-
💚Want quick, low-commitment elevation
-
💚Need something sessionable and social
-
💚Prefer lighter, more refreshing options
It’s less about “which is better” and more about “which fits your moment.”

The Role of Flavor and Format
Taste plays a big role in your THC drink experience. THC spirits are layered and bold, built for cocktail enthusiasts. Whether stirred or shaken, they offer depth that pairs well with herbs, bitters, and citrus for truly elevated cannabis cocktails.
THC seltzers, meanwhile, deliver bright, fruit-driven flavors with a crisp, clean finish. They’re often low in sugar, low in calories, and easy to sip straight from the can. This makes them ideal for on-the-go refreshment, from outdoor brunches to backyard kickbacks.
Format also dictates when and how you enjoy your beverage. Spirits come in sleek bottles meant for home or bar settings. Seltzers are canned, portable, and perfect for casual environments.
Both products are excellent in their own right, it just depends on the experience you're after.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can you mix THC spirits and THC seltzers together?
Yes, you can mix THC spirits and THC seltzers to create custom cannabis cocktails. This can be a fun way to experiment with flavors and effects, but be mindful of your total THC intake to avoid overconsumption. Always calculate the combined dosage and start low if you're new to blending formats.
2. How do THC beverages compare to smoking or vaping cannabis?
THC beverages provide a smoke-free experience with more accurate dosing. Unlike inhalation methods, which offer near-instant effects, drinks typically have a slower onset but a smoother and often longer-lasting high. They’re also more discreet and socially acceptable in many settings.
3. Are THC drinks legal everywhere?
No, THC beverage legality varies by state and country. Even within legalized states, there are different rules for purchasing, possession limits, and where consumption is allowed. Always check your local cannabis regulations before buying or consuming THC beverages.
4. Do THC drinks need to be refrigerated?
Unopened THC seltzers usually have a shelf-stable life and don’t require refrigeration, but chilling them improves the taste and experience. THC spirits are also shelf-stable but should be stored in a cool, dark place to preserve flavor and potency. Once opened, refrigerate for optimal freshness.
5. Can I drive after drinking a THC beverage?
No. Just like alcohol, it is unsafe and illegal to operate a vehicle under the influence of THC. Even if you feel only mildly affected, THC can impair reaction time, coordination, and judgment. Always wait until you're completely sober before driving.
6. How long does THC stay in your system after drinking it?
THC can remain in your system for days or even weeks depending on factors like dosage, metabolism, and frequency of use. While the high from a THC beverage may only last a few hours, traces of THC can still be detected in urine or blood tests long after the effects wear off.
