The drink is formulated using [Azura's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restaurant-azura) TiME INFUSION processing and has the RTD ACTiVATOR that enables it to achieve onset in five to 15-minutes. The ButACake Cherry Hibiscus Elixir features a tart cherry, floral hibiscus and citrus taste profile with 5mg of THC in each 7.5-ounce serving to position it as an ideal alternative to cocktails or other cannabis-infused solutions.
