Calexo introduced two new low-dose cannabis beverages that can be enjoyed as an alternative to alcohol. The cannabis-infused sparkling beverages are made with all-natural juices and botanical ingredients and are available in varieties like Citrus Rose and Cucumber Citrón that contain just 10 milligrams of nano-emulsified THC per 22-ounce bottle. The beverages are packaged in a way that supports sharing, precise dosage and an easy-to-control experience that the brand describes as a boost that can be expected to "lightly lift without sending people to the moon."
Although there are many non-alcoholic drinks that are being created to taste like wine or beer, Brandon Andrew, the founder and CEO of Calexo, says that "The first thing people will notice about Calexo is the unique flavor profile, and that’s because it’s not modeled after a pre-existing drink."
