Key Takeaways

THC seltzers are refreshing, low-calorie, THC-infused carbonated drinks that serve as great alcohol alternatives for summer occasions and can be easily made at home using drink mixes and sparkling water.
The guide provides three simple DIY THC seltzer recipes— each using specific Hometown Hero drink mixes and fresh or frozen fruits for flavor and garnish.
THC drinks are recommended to be enjoyed chilled and responsibly, with effects taking as little as 15 minutes due to nano-emulsified THC, and ready-to-drink THC lemonades are also available for convenience.

From the beach to the backyard barbecue, the sun is shining, and it’s time to get outside. With more people than ever ditching booze for buds, what better way to embrace these summertime occasions than with a subtle serving of THC?

THC seltzers are the breezy and bubbly companions for all your summer plans this year. But you won’t need to shell out for a pricey six-pack for your next invite. Because it turns out, making THC seltzer drinks at home is surprisingly simple. Here’s the lowdown.

Meet the Ultimate Summer Refresher

If you haven’t caught the buzz about THC seltzer yet, let us fill you in. THC-infused seltzer is simply a carbonated drink that contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis flower.

Flavored with everything from strawberries to guava to lemons (and any other flavor combo you can dream up), these mellow drinks typically contain a low to medium serving of THC. Entirely sessionable and great alternatives to alcohol, they're loved for their relaxing and euphoric qualities.

It’s easy to find ready-to-drink cannabis seltzers or mix up your own using our THC Drink Mixes. All you need is bubbly water and a little imagination. Here are just a few ideas for how to use Hometown Hero's elevated enhancers to kick off your next party.

Don’t be afraid to put your own spin on it. Riff by using a base of other carbonated drinks, add cut-up fruit, and get fancy with the garnishes—these recipes are designed to work with what you have on hand.
