Upstate Elevator's first adaptogen-infused THC beverage, Yuzu Lemonade Spritz, set the foundation for the launch of a new adaptogen-infused innovation, Ruby Red Ranch Water THC Spritz. This canned beverage shares a juicy citrus flavor with 10mg fast-acting, hemp-derived THC, plus adaptogenic mushrooms like lion's mane, cordyceps, and reishi to promote calm, focus and energy.
Free from sugar, preservatives or artificial colors, Ruby Red Ranch Water was crafted for wellness-minded consumers in search of natural ways to feel better. "Consumers today aren't just looking for a buzz, they want the better-for-you benefits, too," detailed Dylan Raap, Founder and CEO of Upstate Elevator, "With Ruby Red Ranch Water, we set out to deliver a new kind of experience: a beverage that offers a moment of chill and a meaningful boost to your mind and body."
