Three Places to Try Craft Cannabis Beverages in San Diego
Drinkable cannabis is the latest craze in the ever-buzzworthy cannabis industry. Thanks to new technology, including techniques that improve the onset of cannabinoid effects (i.e., it kicks in more quickly), many are saying that drinking weed is the future.
Here are three places in San Diego that are doing it right.
Two Roots Nonalcoholic Cannabis-Infused Beer
On the heels of opening the brewery’s first tasting room in Ocean Beach, Two Roots has created a nonalcoholic, cannabis-infused beer that’s also taking dispensaries by storm. Formally called a cannabis craft beverage, the brew is dealcoholized using special technology from Germany that preserves the integrity of the ingredients during alcohol removal while improving the taste. Two Roots also employs a special nanoemulsion technique that breaks down THC and CBD molecules more rapidly, resulting in a faster-acting high.
Therapy Tonics
San Diego-based Therapy Tonics makes cannabis-infused espresso, milk, and tea drinks in 1-ounce to 4.20-ounce (get it?) bottles that each contain up to a very punchy 120 milligrams of THC. With flavors like coconut matcha, chai, and Mexican mocha, drinkers will be sipping on a delicious concoction that is also impeccably dosed and sourced from high-quality ingredients.
Mr. Nice Guy
Madison on Park’s most famous cocktail, the Mr. Nice Guy, made waves a couple of years ago for being one of the first CBD cocktails sold in San Diego. After a slap on the wrist from the law in early 2019, they were required to take the CBD out, but what remains is even tastier. The updated version includes a hemp-infused vodka by Humboldt Distillery, which lends a peppery and sweet finish to this upmarket piña colada.
