Smoky THC Spirits

Upstate Elevator Debuts the New Añejo Lime THC Spirit

Upstate Elevator has introduced a new offering — the Añejo Lime THC Spirit — and this product marks the brand's inaugural entry into the non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused spirits category.

The Añejo Lime THC Spirit is a meticulously formulated, zero-proof beverage designed to deliver a complex flavor profile characterized by smoky oak, vibrant citrus, and a subtle hint of jalapeño. The expression also provides a measured dose of THC and L-theanine, an amino acid often associated with reducing stress. These additions are intended to induce a relaxed state without the aftereffects commonly associated with alcohol consumption.

Upstate Elevator's Añejo Lime THC Spirit will surely capture the attention of consumers as it replicates the sensory ritual and social occasion of traditional spirit consumption, but with a focus on a clear-headed experience and a rapid onset of effects.
