Take the stress out of the holidays with THC and CBD-infused beverages. In a recent report by data analysts, earphone, statistics show that Gen Z drink 20% less alcohol than millennials of the same age.

According to a report by market research firm IWSR, sales of non-alcoholic and low-alcohol beverages grew by 30% in 2020 and are expected to continue to grow by 31% through 2024. Meanwhile, the U.S. cannabis beverage market grew from $67.8 million in 2019 to $85.2 million in 2020.

During the festival, the market share of beverages has also increased year by year.

While cannabis beverages have been touted as the next explosive market trend over the past few years, starting with Constellation Brands’ acquisition of Canadian cannabis company Canopy Growth, the market hasn’t quite taken off, according to various analyst forecasts.

While the category continues to grow, there are unique brands including Saka House, and Cannacraft’s Gem + Jane, as a whole, the category has yet to rival alcohol or cannabis flower for significant market share.

A ban on interstate marijuana trade and a lack of state bottling plant manufacturing contracts are currently hindering the national launch of marijuana. Once national distribution becomes available, the market could see an explosion in this category.

Below is a handy guide to exploring cannabis and the markets in which they are currently available.

Uncle Arnie’s Iced Tea Lemonade

While most people will bring a six-pack of beer or a bottle of wine when heading to a family gathering that requires BYOB, Uncle Arnie’s Iced Tea Lemonade will give you great value.

For an average dose of about $1 per 10mg, 10 friends in California can “inject” an 8oz, $10.00, 100mg bottle!

Talking about value, it’s no wonder it’s the best-selling marijuana in California, according to Headset.

The beautiful bottle even has a built-in ruler on the side, so you can pour out 10 mg (or more) evenly and efficiently without any guesswork.

Uncle Arni certainly doesn’t claim to be a “health and wellness” drink. It resonates more with traditional cannabis consumers. Although, its calories and sugars aren’t much different than a regular bottle of iced tea (though probably only B Real can drink a whole bottle!).

Uncle Arnie has launched a new flavor of Sweet Peach Iced Tea, just in time for the holidays.

Cannes Film Festival non-alcoholic beverages

Founded by graduates of Stanford and Harvard, Cannes Film Festival Reinvent social drinking with its trace non-alcoholic beverages.

Vegan, gluten-free, and only 35 calories, each CANN contains five all-natural ingredients that are similar in strength to a can of beer or glass of wine.

Sava and Cann are two queer-founded value-driven companies that emphasize the use of marijuana as part of a healthy lifestyle for health and happiness.

I was lucky enough to try CANN with blood orange cardamom on Thanksgiving with a Baccarat whisky glass and an ice cube, no less.

It’s crisp and crisp, has no weedy aftertaste, and packs the perfect social lube (I wouldn’t hesitate to eat it around a friend’s parents).

Saka House – Mimosa

Saka Spark MIMOSA combines a premium, alcohol-free sparkling white grape Chardonnay, an active resin emulsion unique to the Mimosa strain, and the natural essences of neroli and mandarin orange.

Saka Mimosa is the perfect breakthrough drink for a soccer mom kit!

From the cool coastal vineyards of California, the white bottle discreetly resembles a wine cabinet. It can easily be eaten around in-laws without arousing suspicion.

Saka House is the exact opposite of Uncle Ani’s concept. A full bottle of mimosas contains a microdose of 5mg of THC.

Each bottle is a full serving, as a six-ounce champagne, or a glass to be exact. (A bottle of champagne is a small bottle of about 6.3 ounces or 187 milliliters of champagne, a quarter of the size of a standard 750 milliliter bottle.)

If you’re planning on brunch for the holidays, join the festivities with a pack of personal-sized, elegant mimosa bottles.
