Sip Smarter: 3 THC Mocktails Perfect for Dry January in Wisconsin

Wisconsin is known for its brats, cheese curds, and, let’s be honest, its love of beer. But when Dry January rolls around, even the most spirited Wisconsinites are swapping old habits for refreshing new ones. That doesn’t mean sacrificing fun—or flavor.

If you’ve ever felt like Dry January in Wisconsin is an uphill climb (especially during Packers season), we’ve got good news. These three CBD + THC mocktails featuring Drift Seltzer will add a delicious twist to your sober-curious journey. Perfect for relaxing, socializing, or just kicking back after a snowy day, they bring the fun without the alcohol.

Cherry Chill Spritz: A Blush of Winter Cheer

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz (half a can) Drift Cherry THC + CBD Seltzer
  • 2 oz pomegranate juice
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 1 tsp agave syrup (optional)
  • Ice
  • Fresh mint and a lime wedge for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Fill a glass with ice.
  2. Add pomegranate juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. Stir to combine.
  3. Top with Drift Cherry Seltzer and stir gently.
  4. Garnish with fresh mint and a lime wedge.

Why it works: The tart cherry notes and a pop of citrus make this spritz the ultimate winter pick-me-up, perfect for winding down after a chilly Wisconsin winter day. Plus, Drift Cherry contains 5mg of THC and CBD, making it our chillest seltzer offering.  

Food Pairing:

This tart, citrusy spritz pairs beautifully with Wisconsin classics like a cranberry walnut salad or sharp aged cheddar and crackers. For a heartier option, try pairing it with grilled bratwurst sliders topped with cherry compote to mirror the drink’s fruity notes.

Citrus Highball: A Bright Burst of Sunshine

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz (half a can) Drift Citrus THC + CBD Seltzer
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • 6–8 fresh mint leaves
  • Ice
  • Lime wedge and orange twist for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Muddle mint leaves at the bottom of a glass.
  2. Add lime juice, orange juice, and ice.
  3. Top with Drift Citrus Seltzer and stir gently.
  4. Garnish with a lime wedge and orange twist.

Why it works: This zesty mocktail brings a ray of sunshine to Wisconsin’s gray January skies, with just enough THC to take the edge off a busy day. Drift Citrus is our delicious original flavor and offers 10mg of THC and CBD relaxation. 

Food Pairing:

The zesty, refreshing flavors of the Citrus Highball make it a perfect companion to fried cheese curds with a tangy dipping sauce, like a spicy citrus aioli. Alternatively, pair it with a Wisconsin-style fish fry—battered perch or walleye with tartar sauce—to complement the citrusy brightness of the drink.

Berry Elevated Fizz: A Berry Delicious Escape

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz Drift Mixed Berry THC + CBD Seltzer
  • 2 oz cranberry juice
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 3–4 fresh berries (raspberries or blackberries)
  • Ice
  • Lemon slice and fresh berries for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Muddle fresh berries in the bottom of a shaker or glass.
  2. Add cranberry juice, lemon juice, and ice.
  3. Pour in Drift Mixed Berry Seltzer and stir gently.
  4. Garnish with a lemon slice and a few whole berries.

Why it works: Sweet, tangy, and beautifully bubbly, this mocktail pairs perfectly with a quiet evening or a low-key get-together. Drift Mixed Berry packs a punch with 20mg of THC and CBD in every can, so drink at your leisure! 

Food Pairing:

The sweet and tangy flavors of the Berry Elevated Fizz shine when paired with a classic Wisconsin charcuterie board featuring summer sausage, dried cranberries, and locally made Gouda or Havarti. For dessert, consider a slice of cranberry Kringle or a berry-topped cheesecake to echo the drink’s fruity profile.

Instead, it’s a chance to explore new flavors, rethink your relationship with beverages, and try innovative options like THC + CBD mocktails featuring our seltzers.

The new year has arrived, and with it comes the chance to hit the refresh button. Dry January is the perfect opportunity to take a break from alcohol and explore alternatives that align with your wellness goals. Whether you’re starting the month alcohol-free or looking to make a mid-month Dry Resolution, it’s never too late to embrace this mindful movement.

Why Dry January?

Dry January is about more than cutting out alcohol—it’s about embracing discovery. Taking a break from alcohol, whether for a month or just a few weeks, can offer mental clarity, better sleep, and a fresh perspective on how you unwind. Plus, with so many others participating, the energy and camaraderie make it easier to stay committed.

This isn’t about deprivation—it’s about finding new ways to relax, socialize, and celebrate, all without the lingering effects of alcohol.

It’s Never Too Late to Start

If the new year began with champagne toasts or holiday cocktails, don’t worry—it’s not too late to jump on board. Dry January is what you make it, and every step counts. Starting today can still give your body and mind a reset, while opening the door to new routines and healthier habits.

Your Elevated Alternatives to Alcohol

Dry January is the perfect excuse to explore Elevated Hemp Solutions’ premium THC and CBD products, designed to help you relax, socialize, and celebrate without the buzz of alcohol. Here are a few ideas to inspire your journey:

uncheckedInstead of an After-Work Drink, Try a THC-Infused Seltzer

Trade your evening glass of wine or cocktail for a refreshing THC + CBD infused Drift seltzer. Lightly dosed and crisp, these beverages deliver the same ritual of unwinding after a long day without the downsides of alcohol. Perfect for a cozy evening at home or as a mixer for a non-alcoholic mocktail!

uncheckedAt Social Functions, Opt for Full-Spectrum Gummies

Navigating social events without alcohol can be tricky, but a mild-dosed gummy is a fantastic alternative. Products like our Happy Place Hemp full-spectrum CBD gummies are discreet, approachable, and provide a mellow, relaxed vibe that helps you stay engaged and at ease in any social setting.

Here’s What Happens to Your Body When You Avoid Alcohol

From better sleep to brighter mornings, the benefits of going alcohol-free add up quickly. You may notice:

  • Improved Hydration: Alcohol dehydrates, while cutting it out helps you stay refreshed and energized.
  • Enhanced Sleep Quality: Without alcohol disrupting your sleep cycle, you’ll wake up feeling truly rested.
  • Mood Stability: Avoiding alcohol may help reduce anxiety and improve mental clarity.
    Pair these perks with the calming, balancing effects of CBD or THC, and you’re on your way to feeling your best.
