Alohi Has Launched Its New Sparkling THC Beverage With Adaptogens

— May 13, 2026 — Lifestyle
Alohi has launched a sparkling THC beverage built around the ritual of social drinking rather than the alcohol itself, blending a hemp-derived THC with ashwagandha, rhodiola, and passion flower to create a light, functional unwind experience. The Alohi sparkling THC beverage comes in Peach Tangerine, Mango Passionfruit, and Hibiscus Lemonade, in 5mg and 10mg, and is vegan, gluten-free, low-calorie, and naturally sweetened.

The brand targets a younger demographic that still wants something to hold at a party, something that feels intentional and social, just without the hangover.

As the sober-curious movement transforms socializing, Alohi demonstrates how combining functional adaptogens with a sparkling format provides consumers with a drink that feels like a true choice, not a compromise.

Trend Themes

  1. Functional THC Social Beverages — Combining microdosed THC with functional adaptogens and sparkling formats creates beverage options that replicate the social ritual of drinking without alcohol-related aftereffects.
  2. Adaptogen-infused Alcohol Alternatives — A growing preference for mood- and stress-modulating ingredients like ashwagandha and rhodiola signals demand for drinks positioned as intentional wellness-enhancing substitutes for traditional cocktails.
  3. Ritualized Non-alcoholic Socializing — Younger consumers seeking social parity without intoxication are normalizing objects-to-hold and shared drinking rituals that preserve communal experiences while reducing harm.

Industry Implications

  1. Beverage Manufacturing — Product portfolios and production lines are being reimagined to accommodate low-dose cannabinoid formulations, natural sweeteners, and clean-label adaptogen blends at scale.
  2. Cannabis Products — The convergence of hemp-derived THC with mainstream beverage formats is expanding routes to market and consumer touchpoints beyond dispensaries into lifestyle retail and on-premise settings.
  3. Event and Hospitality — Bars, festivals, and venues are adapting programming and menu offerings to include non-alcoholic yet socially ritualistic beverages that cater to sober-curious clientele.
