SunBuzz is innovating in the functional beverage market with a line of pre-mixed cocktails that are entirely free of alcohol and instead incorporate hemp-derived THC and CBG as their active ingredients.
SunBuzz's ready-to-serve THC cocktails are positioned as sophisticated alternatives for social consumption. The available flavors include Espresso Martini, Cosmopolitan, Margarita, and Jalapeño Pineapple Margarita. Each five-ounce serving of the pre-mixed cocktails boasts only 20 calories and a balanced five-gram blend of hemp-derived THC and CBG. According to the brand, this will offer a mild, predictable psychoactive experience, which will potentially appeal to those seeking relaxation or even mild euphoria.
SunBuzz strategically timed the product launch to coincide with the cultural trend of Dry January and a broader movement toward mindful drinking.
