Sip, Sip, Hooray! The Infused Drink Craze is Taking Over — Are You Bottled Up & Ready?

From backyard BBQs to elevated dispensary coolers, cannabis and wellness beverages are the new rockstars of the drink world. Whether you're crafting a zesty THC spritz, a calming CBD syrup, or a trendsetting alcohol-free adaptogenic soda, the buzz is real (and sometimes literal). But here’s the catch: your packaging has to pop — and protect.


🧪 Why Everyone’s Stirring Up Infused Beverages

Let’s face it: edibles are old news, and flower… well, she’s classic. But cannabis- and wellness-infused drinks are now stealing the spotlight thanks to:

  • Fast onset times (no more waiting 90 minutes for a gummy to kick in)

  • 🧘♂️ Custom-dosed experiences: Think 2mg chill or 10mg party

  • 🍹 Flavor-forward formats: Herbal seltzers, sparkling lemonades, syrups, tonics, and even mocktails

  • 🧃 Mainstream appeal: Great for both the canna-curious and seasoned enthusiasts

Whether your brand is building the next best cannabis seltzer or a sugar-free elixir with wellness vibes, one thing’s for sure: 2025 is the year of infused innovation.
