There has been much ado about cannabis drinks for months now, and interest seems to be piquing as we round the corner towards the coming warmer months. Curious mocktail and weed consumers alike bring up the topic more and more often, and projections continue pointing to high earnings for THC drinks. As everyone looks to this product category as a winner, certain brands are rising to the top.
I write about weed drinks frequently and have tried a lot of canned beverages. In my time on the beat, I have certainly cultivated some favorites, including Wynk. Wynk drinks are sugar-free, lower-dosed, and taste good–my favorite is mango. The brand recently released something new in time for spring celebrations.

Wynk seltzers contain five milligrams (mg) of THC and five mg of CBD for a mellow, balanced experience. As of this month, the brand has something a little bit different in the fridge. Wynk has a new trio of lemonades made for someone seeking more. Each drink contains 10 mg of THC and no CBD.
“We created our 10mg Lemonade Seltzers to meet the growing demand for higher-dose options—without losing what makes Wynk special,” Angus Rittenburg, CEO and co-founder of Wynk, said in a press release.
I obviously had to spin some bar recipes into cannabis cocktails using the classic Lemonade, Raspberry, and Strawberry flavors. The result was bright and effervescent–just like the coming season.
Easy spring cannabis cocktail recipes
Drinking a THC seltzer or cannabis cocktail at the function has never been more normalized. This practice has grown more popular for a few reasons, maybe the growing Cali sober movement or perhaps the wide availability of hemp-THC drinks. Either way, it is not uncommon for a few people at the party to pop open a weed beverage instead of an alcoholic one. I am one of them.
These three drink recipes capitalize on spring flavors and the natural effervescence of the Wynk lemonade trio with ingredients that should not be too hard to acquire.
