# Social THC Botanical Beverages Alohi Has Launched Its New Sparkling THC Beverage With Adaptogens By Adam Harrie | Published 2026-05-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-sparkling-thc-beverage References: [drinkalohi](https://drinkalohi.com/)  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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ellora-by-crescent-canna) transforms socializing, Alohi demonstrates how combining [functional adaptogens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brez-tonics) with a sparkling format provides consumers with a drink that feels like a true choice, not a compromise.
