Interest in alcohol alternatives continues its upward trajectory, and THC-infused beverages have emerged as a major segment in the U.S. cannabis market. Thanks to hemp-derived THC under the 2018 Farm Bill, many beverage makers now ship micro-dosed, fast-onset drinks nationwide. It’s part of the same larger trend that’s reshaping the wider beverage scene, where beer has already shown how curiosity and innovation can change what people reach for when they want to relax and enjoy something new.

By 2025, the THC drink industry in the U.S. will have surpassed a billion dollars in annual sales, with projections heading toward $4 billion by 2028. And there’s no shortage of brands putting time and effort into bringing you the best sips in town. Here are the five top THC beverage brands dominating the U.S. market in 2025.

These deliver a clean taste and consistent dosing, with no synthetic additives or preservatives. This ensures every sip is refreshing and beneficial, which makes it an ideal choice to unwind.

Taste, Ingredients & Effects
