The highly anticipated BLK MGK Espresso Hemp Spirit is scheduled for release in November 2025. Positioned as a non-alcoholic functional drink, the product brings together the boldness of the espresso flavor with hemp-derived cannabinoids through a proprietary extraction method.
The BLK MGK Espresso Hemp Spirit is presented in a sophisticated 750-milliliter glass bottle. The recipe can be consumed as a shot, added to coffee, or used as a non-alcoholic mixer for cocktails. Mark Mahoney, Co-Founder and CEO of BLK MGK Beverages, expanded on the "functional hemp elixir": "Massachusetts has always been a birthplace of beverage breakthroughs — from tonic elixirs and soda fountains to modern craft brewing. With BLK MGK, we're bridging the past and future — a revival of the elixir spirit for today's wellness and social culture, powered by precision cannabinoid technology and the bold flavor of espresso."
