As consumer drinking preferences evolve, brands are developing satisfying alternatives to alcohol like cannabis-infused social tonics and Greek brand Mataroa is distinguishing itself with a first-of-its-kind low-dose cannabis-infused beverage called Mataroa Happy. With this gin-based spirit, adults need not give up alcohol entirely if they are interested in mindful drinking.
Catering to a growing demand for a balanced and nuanced cannabis experience with uplifting benefits, the gin-based spirit is bottled at 11% ABV and infused with cannabis oil and damiana. According to the brand, damiana is a plant that's a "natural uplifter with aphrodisiac properties."
Packaged in a cheery yellow bottle, Mataroa Happy is being introduced to the world with a signature serve, the Happy Spritz, prepared with Prosecco and soda water, and fresh lemon as a garnish.
