Cannabis-infused drinks are a healthier alcohol alternative for your next party.
Infuse your party with cannabis to enhance the vibes.
If you’re looking to elevate your next party, THC-infused drinks will bring good vibes to your gathering. THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis, has rapidly gained a strong foothold in the beverage industry, offering a unique alternative to traditional alcohol.
As cannabis culture becomes more mainstream, so too have cannabis-derived products, and THC drinks are one of the most popular and accessible of these products. So how can you creatively and safely make these drinks part of your next shindig?
Cater to Comfort Levels
Before diving into THC drinks, gauge the comfort levels of your guest list. Cannabis is not for everyone, and some people on your guest list may prefer to stick to non-cannabis beverages. Others may prefer to alternate between infused and non-infused drinks.
Provide a variety of non-infused and nonalcoholic mocktails, sodas, and sparkling water. The non-infused drinks can be as fun and flavorful as the THC ones. Clearly label each drink so that guests can make informed decisions, and make it known that trying THC is fully optional.
Everyone should feel comfortable and respected whether they try a THC drink or not. Discussing the potency and effects of THC drinks can help guests feel more at ease, enabling all of them to enjoy the party at their own pace.
Create an Interactive THC Drink Bar
Turn your party into an interactive experience by setting up a do-it-yourself THC drink bar: a station that offers pre-made THC-infused mixers; nonalcoholic bases like tonic water, soda, and fruit juices; and various fun garnishes. In this way, guests can experiment, make their own cocktails, and choose the THC strength they prefer. By making many potencies available, you accommodate beginners as well as veteran cannabis consumers.
Possible garnishes: fresh herbs like mint and basil; lemon, orange, berry, or other fruit slices; even CBD tinctures to balance the effects of THC. Provide clear instructions for each ingredient and guidance about dosage so that your guests can enjoy their drinks safely.
Set the Mood
Cannabis has a way of influencing the vibe of a party. When incorporating THC beverages, think about the kind of atmosphere you want to create. THC tends to produce social effects that are more relaxed than those of alcohol.
Incorporating a theme like a “Cannabis Lounge” can enhance the experience. You could play mellow tunes, offer cannabis-themed décor, and even have a designated space for people to hang out and unwind with their drinks. Think plush pillows, low lighting, and maybe even a fireplace if the season permits.
Establish a Low and Slow Pace
One of the key factors when incorporating THC drinks into your party is ensuring everyone understands the concept of “low and slow.” Encourage guests to start with a low dosage of THC and wait a half hour before deciding whether to consume more.
THC drinks list the milligrams of THC per serving. For those new to cannabis beverages, 2 mg to 5 mg is a good starting point. Let your guests know that it’s fine to sip slowly and offer non-infused beverages that people can also drink to stay hydrated and comfortable.
Offer THC Drink Flights
If you want to add a unique twist to your party, consider offering THC drink flights, similar to how beer or wine tastings are done. Select a range of THC-infused beverages, from low-calorie seltzers like Crescent 9 to herbal tonics, and present them in small portions. Then guests can sample a variety of flavors and potencies without overindulging in any particular drink.
You can even make it an interactive experience by providing tasting notes or by encouraging guests to rate their favorite drinks. In this way, your guests discover what kind of THC drink they like best, and they come together over a shared activity.
Pair THC Drinks with Snacks
Offer snacks and other food to complement the drinks. THC may intensify hunger; being able to snack as well balances the experience. Prepare a munchies menu with small sweet or savory bites that go well with the drinks: sliders, pizza bites, cookies, and brownies.
You can even incorporate cannabis-infused edibles into the dessert menu for a more adventurous crowd. Just be mindful of the combined effects of both edibles and drinks, and clearly mark infused items to avoid any surprises.
You could also curate food pairings that complement the flavors of the THC drinks. For instance, citrusy THC cocktails go well with spicy snacks, while herbal-infused drinks can be paired with cheese platters or fresh salads.

Cannabis often gives people the munchies, so offer snacks at your gathering too.
Create a Thematic Playlist
No party is complete without a great playlist, and when incorporating THC drinks, the right music can really enhance the experience. Create a curated playlist that matches the vibe of your party.
If your party has a theme, like maybe Tropical THC Cocktail Night, let your playlist reflect it by selecting island tunes, bossa nova, or lo-fi beach vibes. Music has a way of heightening the effects of THC, so the right selection can help set the tone and make the get-together more memorable. If your guests are into it, try taking music requests or sponsoring a group jam session.
Play Games
A party with THC drinks does not have to be just about sitting around and sipping—introduce some interesting activities to keep the energy lively. Light-hearted party games like trivia, charades, or even a cannabis-themed bingo can keep people entertained while they enjoy their beverages.
If you are hosting outdoors, the possibilities include yard games like cornhole, giant Jenga, and a scavenger hunt with cannabis-themed prizes. These games offer an opportunity for guests to mingle and enjoy the effects of their drinks in a social, relaxed setting.
Prioritize Safety
As a responsible host, it is important to ensure everyone gets home safely. Remind guests to arrange a designated driver, call a rideshare, or make plans to stay the night if they have consumed THC. In some cases, THC may impair judgment and reaction time, so make it clear that driving after consuming is not an option.
