Cannabis Beverages continue to be a popular cannabis category among consumers in the US and Canada with successful sales trends in both markets. With thousands of products available, and so many more entering the Beverage space, we compiled a list of a few rising stars below that have been turning heads since the beginning of 2021.

Select

Of US Beverage brands that have launched since January 2021, Select has averaged $210,264 in monthly sales, which is 30% higher than the next closest new Beverage competitor. Their availability in popular US markets like Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Michigan, and California make them one of the most wide spread of the newcomers. Select’s line of Beverage products are what they describe as “Beverage enhancers” that can be mixed into drinks and can be effective in as little as 15 minutes. These products fall into our drops, mixes, elixirs, and syrups segment, which seems to be a growing segment among popular new cannabis products.
