Sip Something Different: Exploring the Cannabis Drink Lineup
at Bronx Joint
The Bronx has always had its own energy — bold, creative, and unapologetically original. At Bronx Joint, located at 925 Hunts Point Avenue in the South Bronx, that spirit extends to every corner of our carefully curated menu. And right now, one of the most exciting categories on our shelves is cannabis-infused drinks.
Whether you’re a longtime cannabis consumer curious about something new or someone who’s never been comfortable with smoking or vaping, the drink category offers a compelling and refreshing alternative. From sparkling seltzers to crafted teas, these beverages are reshaping how adults 21 and over engage with cannabis — and Bronx Joint is proud to be your destination for exploring them.
What Are Cannabis-Infused Drinks?
Cannabis-infused beverages are exactly what they sound like: drinkable liquids — seltzers, teas, flavored waters, sodas — that have been infused with cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Unlike smoking or vaping, which deliver effects through inhalation, these drinks are ingested and processed through your digestive system.
Most cannabis beverages on our shelves use nanoemulsion technology — a process that breaks THC down into microscopic, water-soluble particles. The result is faster absorption than traditional edibles, with many consumers reporting they begin to feel effects within 15 to 30 minutes. That’s a meaningful difference from a gummy or a brownie, which can take 45 minutes to over an hour to fully kick in.
It’s important to remember that individual experiences vary. Factors like body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and whether you’ve eaten recently all influence how your body processes THC. As with all cannabis products, the golden rule applies: start with a low dose and wait before consuming more.
The Variety You'll Find on Our Shelves
Our drinks section at Bronx Joint features a rotating selection of the most respected brands operating within New York State’s licensed cannabis market. Every product we carry has been tested, approved, and is fully compliant with New York State OCM regulations. Here’s a look at the types of beverages you can expect to find:
Sparkling Seltzers
Seltzers have become the flagship of the cannabis beverage movement, and for good reason. They’re light, refreshing, and available in a range of doses that make them accessible to both new consumers and more experienced ones.
New York-grown brands have led the charge here. Ayrloom, crafted by a multi-generational upstate New York farming family, offers a line of 1:1 THC:CBD sparkling beverages — meaning equal parts of each cannabinoid in every can. That balance is a key part of their appeal; CBD is widely associated with tempering the intensity of THC, offering a smoother, more grounded experience. Ayrloom seltzers come in flavors that range from lemonade to vanilla cola to pineapple mango, each made with real fruit juice.
TUNE Seltzer, a collaboration between Head & Heal and Saranac Brewing Co., brings a New York craft beverage sensibility to the category. Made with real juice and honey, TUNE comes in distinctive flavors like Raspberry Lime, Black Cherry, and Blackberry Cardamom. Each 12oz can contains 10mg of THC — a moderate dose appropriate for consumers who already have some familiarity with edibles.
For those just getting started, lower-dose seltzers with 2.5mg to 5mg THC are a great entry point. They allow you to ease in, understand your personal response, and enjoy the ritual of a cold, refreshing drink without overcommitting.
Infused Teas
Not everyone wants carbonation — and the cannabis tea category has grown into something genuinely refined. Brands like Harney Brothers Cannabis, rooted in Millerton, New York, have applied serious craft beverage expertise to the cannabis-infused tea experience. Their blends are thoughtfully developed for different occasions: calming nighttime options with lemon and botanicals for winding down, and more energizing profiles suited to daytime use.
Infused teas tend to appeal to consumers who appreciate a slower, more ceremonial relationship with their cannabis — the ritual of brewing a warm cup, sitting with it, and easing into the experience. Doses are clearly labeled and compliant with all state requirements.
Infused Waters
For the minimalist consumer, cannabis-infused waters offer clean, calorie-free, sugar-free hydration with a precisely measured amount of THC. Brands like Weed Water keep the formula simple: water, cannabis, and terpenes. No additives, no artificial flavors, no guesswork. These are also a popular choice for consumers who are microdosing — taking very small, intentional amounts of THC to maintain a subtle sense of ease throughout the day without impairment.
Infused Drink Mixes
Innovation in the category continues to push forward. Drink mixes and infused stir sticks — small packets of nano-emulsified THC powder you can dissolve into any beverage of your choosing — offer a level of flexibility no other format provides. Want to infuse your morning juice? Your sparkling water? Your iced coffee? These mixes make it possible, discreetly and conveniently, all while keeping your dose clearly labeled and controlled.
