The THC drink market has exploded over the past year, but drops give you something pre-made beverages can’t: total control. You choose the drink, the dose, and whether you want flavor—or none at all.
Whether you’re mixing up fancy holiday mocktails or just want to elevate your sparkling water after a long day, these liquid THC options cover different needs and preferences.
Some hit fast, some pack serious potency, and others focus on keeping things subtle and controlled.
HempLucid’s Delta 9 Beverage Enhancer brings full-spectrum benefits to your drinks with a 1:10 THC to CBD ratio. Available in single-serving sachets or tincture bottles, each serving contains 10mg Delta-9 THC and 100mg CBD, making this the highest CBD option on the list. For chaotic holiday situations or stressful family gatherings, that CBD dose is a saving grace.
Why these work for mocktails: Full-spectrum formulas include all the cannabinoids working together, creating what’s called the entourage effect. The result feels more well-rounded than isolated THC. The sachets are convenient for travel or bringing to parties.

SHAKE Edible Glitter Drops bring the visual wow factor without messing with your drink’s flavor. These drops are completely flavorless, which means your cranberry spritz tastes like cranberry, not cannabis. The glitter swirls through your glass, creating an Instagram-worthy look, but the real appeal is that it lets you dial in your exact desired dose without altering the taste.
Why these work for mocktails: When you’ve crafted the perfect flavor profile, the last thing you want is a tincture that tastes like hemp. SHAKE lets you keep your drink tasting right while adding the THC element. Plus, that glitter effect makes holiday drinks feel more special without extra effort.
Product features:
The CBG addition brings its own list of benefits. Some people find it helps with focus and calm without the heavy sedation. For holiday gatherings where you want to stay social and engaged, that combination hits much better than straight THC.
Cannaology’s 45mg THC Beverage Mixer is for people who don’t want to wait around. This fast-acting formula means you’re feeling effects within 15-30 minutes instead of the usual hour-plus wait time with regular edibles. The dropper format makes dosing precise—2.8mg per serving lets you start low and add more if needed.
Why these work for mocktails: When you’re at a party or social event, timing matters. Nobody wants to take a dose at 7 p.m. and finally feel it at 9 p.m. when they’re ready to leave. Cannaology’s quick onset keeps your buzz in sync with your actual plans.
Product features:
This is probably the most budget-friendly option on the list while still delivering quality results. At under $20, it’s easy to grab a couple of bottles for different occasions without stressing about cost.
Soul CBD Out of Office Drops earned Healthline’s approval for 2025, and for good reason. These flavored drops come in pineapple for microdosing (1.5mg THC + 15mg CBD) and offer a mellow, controlled experience, with the high CBD ratio keeping things calm and anxiety-free. They’re perfect for people who want to chill without getting too lifted.
Why these work for mocktails: The 10:1 CBD to THC ratio means you get relaxation and pain relief without heavy intoxication. Great for holiday stress when you want to take the edge off but still need to be functional around family. Plus, that pineapple flavor works beautifully in tropical-inspired drinks.
Product features:
These are made with all-natural ingredients and MCT oil, keeping things clean if you’re picky about what goes in your body. The microdose approach means you can have multiple drinks (and doses) throughout the evening without overdoing it.
St. Ides Cherry Bomb Syrup takes a different route with its syrup consistency and bold cherry flavor. At 1000mg THC in a 60ml bottle, this is one of the strongest THC drops for drinks you’ll ever find. The syrup format works great for creating THC-infused sodas or adding to tonic water for that cherry soda vibe.
Why these work for mocktails: The thicker syrup consistency and bold flavor make this great for drinks where you want the cannabis element to be part of the taste profile. Mix with tonic water, and you’ve got a cherry soda-inspired mocktail that hits hard.
Product features:
This isn’t a starter product. With this much potency, you need to measure carefully and respect the dosage. But for experienced users who know their tolerance, it offers serious value per mg.
LEVIA Achieve Drops focus on energy and uplift instead of a deep couch-lock. This Sativa-leaning formula is perfect for outdoor activities, creative projects, or anything where you want that motivated, inspired feeling. At 1000mg THC per bottle, you’re looking at around 33mg per full dropper—potent THC drops for strong mocktails.

These recipes work with any THC drops from the list above. The dosage is your call based on tolerance, but we’ll include recommended starting points. Remember—you can always add more, but you can’t take it back once it’s mixed.

Herb
Recommended dose: 5mg THC (good for social drinking)
Best drops: SHAKE Glitter Drops or Cannaology (keeps cranberry flavor pure)
Add juices to a shaker with your chosen THC drops, shake well, pour over ice in a glass, top with sparkling water, and garnish with mint and berries. The citrus and cranberry combo is refreshing without being too sweet, and the sparkling water keeps it light.

Herb
Recommended dose: 5-7.5mg THC (perfect for sipping slowly)
Best drops: Soul CBD Out of Office (the CBD helps balance the richness)
Mix eggnog and cold brew in a shaker with THC drops and ice, shake until frothy, strain into a glass, and top with whipped cream and spices. The coffee cuts through the eggnog’s richness while keeping it in that cozy, comforting zone.

Herb
Recommended dose: 2.5-5mg THC (lower since it’s a sipping drink)
Best drops: HempLucid (the CBD brings extra calm)
Heat the milk gently (don’t boil), melt the white chocolate chips into it, add the peppermint extract, let cool to a warm-but-not-hot temperature, then stir in the THC drops thoroughly. Top with whipped cream and crushed peppermint. This one’s all about that slow, cozy vibe by the fire.

Herb
Recommended dose: 5-10mg THC (depending on the party vibe)
Best drops: LEVIA Achieve (keeps energy up for socializing)
Muddle mint leaves with lime juice and simple syrup in a glass, add THC drops and stir, fill glass with ice, top with sparkling water, garnish with lime and mint. This is basically a virgin mojito with benefits, refreshing enough for any time of year but feels especially good during the holidays.

Getting THC drops for mocktails right means understanding a few basics about how these products work. Here’s what to know before you start mixing.
Buying the right drops: Water-soluble is essential. Regular cannabis tinctures are oil-based and will float on top of your drink or create that weird separation nobody wants. Water-soluble formulas dissolve completely.
Mixing technique: Use a cocktail shaker or stir vigorously. Even water-soluble drops need help integrating fully into your drink. Add your THC drops to the liquid first, then shake or stir well before adding ice.
Temperature matters: Avoid extremely hot liquids. While warm drinks are fine, boiling or near-boiling temperatures can reduce the potency. If you’re making hot cocoa or tea, let it cool slightly before adding drops, or add them at the end when the drink reaches a drinkable temperature.
Responsible dosing: Calculate and track your dose every time. This isn’t just for you; your guests need this information too. If you’re hosting and serving THC mocktails to guests, they need to know precisely what they’re consuming. Start with 2.5-5mg if you’re new to THC drinks, especially since these can hit differently than smoking or vaping. Wait at least 45-60 minutes before considering another dose.
Always label drinks containing THC clearly at parties. It sounds obvious, but in the chaos of hosting, people grab random glasses. Make it crystal clear which beverages are infused and what the dosage is.

Only water-soluble THC drops mix properly into beverages. Regular cannabis tinctures use oil as a base, which doesn’t blend with water-based drinks—it’ll float on top or create that separated look.
Nope. Products like SHAKE, Cannaology, and HempLucid are virtually flavorless or have minimal hemp taste. Others like Soul CBD and St. Ides add intentional flavors (pineapple, cherry) that can complement your mocktail.
Usually 4-6 hours, similar to regular edibles. Fast-acting formulas like Cannaology might peak earlier, but don’t always fade faster. Factors like your metabolism, body weight, and whether you’ve eaten recently all influence duration. Most people feel peak effects around the 1-2 hour mark.
Oftentimes, yes. Water-soluble drops can kick in within 15-45 minutes versus the typical 60-90 minutes for regular edibles. Your body absorbs water-soluble cannabinoids more efficiently than fat-soluble ones, which have to go through more digestive processes.
Not stronger, but more bioavailable. Your body absorbs a higher percentage of the THC, meaning you might feel stronger effects from a lower dose compared to oil-based tinctures, where some THC gets lost during digestion.
Properly formulated water-soluble drops shouldn’t separate. If you’re using oil-based tinctures, yes, you’ll get that floaty layer on top. Stick with products specifically labeled “water-soluble” or “beverage enhancer” to avoid this.
Absolutely. Add drops to a small amount of the beverage first (maybe 1-2 oz), stir until fully dissolved, then add the rest of your soda or sparkling water. This prevents you from stirring out all the carbonation while trying to mix the THC properly.
Yes. Regular THC tinctures are alcohol or oil-based, meant to be taken sublingually (under the tongue). THC drops for drinks are specifically formulated to be water-soluble so they mix into beverages. Using regular tinctures in drinks creates that separated, oily mess.
From this list, both LEVIA Achieve and St. Ides Cherry Bomb pack the most punch at 1000mg THC per bottle. LEVIA runs about $70 and focuses on energizing sativa effects, while St. Ides costs $21-35 and brings hybrid vibes with a syrup consistency. With both, a little goes a long way.
