Created with the best sustainably-sourced herbs, terpenes and freshly pressed juices, MONK Drinking Botanicals offer up an amazing flavor with various health benefits. The elixirs are available in a variety of dosage options and cannabinoid combinations, which are then combined with organic shrub and fruit juices, to help ease pain, anxiety and even convulsions. The current run of drink is separated into two categories with each providing different effects. The [CBD-only beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hempbased-beverage) don't create any sort of psychoactive and have been carefully crafted to be great for pain mitigation. On the other hand, the [THC-infused drink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thcinfused-bottled-cocktail) offers an uplifting and euphoric feeling that lasts for several hours. The effect of MONK Drinking Botanicals is definitely the immediate appeal of the beverages, but the makers have not taken this as an excuse to ignore flavor—each elixir is delicious and sophisticated, as various herbs and fruits are used to provide incredible flavor. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cbd-infused Beverages:** CBD-infused beverages are on the rise, providing pain and anxiety relief and offering opportunities for innovative flavor combinations. - **THC Infused Beverages:** THC-infused beverages are creating a new market for recreational use, while offering opportunities for pain and anxiety relief. - **Sustainable Sourcing:** Sustainably-sourced ingredients can provide a unique selling point for beverages infused with CBD and THC, offering an opportunity for companies to promote both wellness and environmental responsibility. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage:** The beverage industry can incorporate CBD and THC-infused beverages into their offerings, thereby expanding their product lines and targeting consumers looking for both wellness and relaxation. - **Wellness:** CBD and THC-infused beverages offer a unique way for the wellness industry to incorporate plant-based remedies into their product lines, providing relief for pain and anxiety. - **Cannabis:** The cannabis industry can expand into the beverage market with CBD and THC-infused drinks, providing new and innovative ways for consumers to experience their products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reviving CBD Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intune-cbd-drinks.md) - [Drink-Enhancing Cannabis Drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocktail-creator.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Microdosing Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightly-sparkling-beverage.md) - [Social Connection Cannabis Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herbal-oasis-social-tonics.md) - [Functional Adaptogenic Elixirs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botany-elixirs.md) - [Feel-Good Functional Tonics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brez-tonics.md) - [Hemp-Infused Hydrating Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannade.md) - [Targeted Functional CBD Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medahuman.md) - [Euphoric Hemp-Infused Mocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cali-sober.md)
