Food & Dining NSLC THC drinks

What are some of your favorite thc drinks from the nslc? I'm especially interested in any that don't have a strong weed taste.

Bubble Kush Orange Soda - if you remember the old 'orange mcdonalds drink' it reminds me of that, zero weed taste.

u/FoamyShoplifting60 8d ago

That orange soda comparison is spot on, it really does taste like the old school orange drink. I was surprised how much it didn't have that skunky aftertaste

They are my favorite brand. I like all their flavours. Their new one Tahiti Trip isn't bad either. Like a fruit punch cream soda. The 7 up and Root Beer I like more than Orange but I'll take any.

The root beer is amazing.

u/foojlander 8d ago

Bubba Kush root beer is insanely good. The strong root beer flavour is also good at masking any potential weed taste. I find lighter flavours like lime always taste like weed

I had a couple in a night last month after abstaining for a while. I was floating.

Not trying to be annoying but I read the nutrition on that and it has like close to 50 grams of sugar. Higher than a regular soda. If you are diabetic or watching intake (like myself) I wouldn't recomend it.

Lol good point

u/dirtybo0ts 8d ago

The Bubble Kush Root Beer is our go to. Never noticed a weed taste with any brand, honestly. You’re probably good to pick any based on your flavour preferences.

We make ice cream floats with the root beer ones 🤤

It reminded me of A&W root beer when I tried it a few days ago.

u/meowmeowbites 8d ago

I hate root beer but I liked this one!

1

u/dirtybo0ts 7d ago

It has less of a “root beer” flavour than regular soda I find. My wife hates root beer but loves this one.

u/antiuseless 8d ago

The root beer itself is really good.

u/Yogammagamma11 8d ago

The peach tea is fantastic!!

2

u/Opening_Jicama9227 8d ago

I can second that! The peach tea is the only one I drink.

u/Cundermunt 8d ago

The VERSUS Black Cherry Seltzer is a good one, doesn't have the awful lingering taste like a lot of them do

1

u/notalady306 8d ago

That’s my favourite

u/httpram 8d ago

Anything but the xmg zero sugar black cherry 🤢

u/SlamVanDamn 8d ago

Partial to the zero sugar MOLLO Blackberry. I like sipping them on ice.

u/LocalAttempt2720 8d ago

XMG tropical cream float is 10/10. I wish I could get it as a non weed drink too because it’s that delicious 😋Like someone else said, they need to be cold to be best. This one has CBG but I really enjoy that effect too

2

u/_mariguana_ 8d ago

I like the XMG fruit punch, and the bubble kush root beer Tahiti treat flavours.

I know you are asking about NSLC options, but …. if you ever go to NB, they seem to regularly have deals on theirs in CannabisNB so if you buy a dozen they can end up being ~ $4/can. None I’ve had have ever been really weedy tasting.

1

u/Sonofapampers 🏁Angine de Poutine🏁 8d ago

I just checked, they have a 7 select beverages for $42 on right now so $6/can.

2

u/jbldeals 8d ago

While not available at the NSLC, try to get your hands on any flavour of Tweed Fizz. It basically tastes like sparkling water (the mango is awesome). I also like that it only has 5mg of THC, so I can have a second one later on if needed.

u/rhyno857 8d ago

I like Green Monke drinks if you're looking for a chill one.

u/Bingeismygame 7d ago

The best drink they ever had was a Xmas cider. It was out for one season and never came back

It sold out everywhere and I drove to Dartmouth from herring cove to pick up the last remaining few they had in the store. I asked if they were getting anymore in and the staff said everyone is asking that and they were told they were not going to restock and it had been discontinued.

To this day I'm still craving it lol

u/J0annaRose 7d ago

Awww damn, that sounds amazing!

u/Injustice_For_All_ Psychotic Antifa Super Soldier Moderator 8d ago

I do not think many have a weed taste. I am a big fan of the bubble kush root beer myself.

2

u/sevenseascapes Precision Guesswork Specialist 8d ago

I think most of the drinks have the terpenes removed which takes the weed taste and aroma.

1

u/darthfruitbasket Woodside/Imperoyal 8d ago

I've tried a couple and while I don't have a favourite from the LC, IME they taste way better when they're cold. At room temp, you get more of the weed taste.

u/Tig- Halifax 8d ago

Peach iced tea, mollo black berry and the sugar free dark cherry. All 3 are sugar free I believe or minimal sugar (1% or something). My wife loves the coconut mango or whatever they are, but I think they’re horrible. None of them really have the weed taste

1

u/caulpnrydc 8d ago

I’ve liked the Bubble Kush Root Beer and the XMG Orange soda so far. I tried another XMG drink but wasn’t that much of a fan so I’ve forgotten which one it was.

Oh and the Summit Apple Pie but that seems to be Christmas time only maybe.

1

u/Only_End9202 8d ago

there is a lemon/lime fizz one that tasted exactly like sprite.. delish

1

u/Particular_Doubt5847 8d ago

Xmg Mango Pineapple!

1

u/thatsnotmyunicorn 8d ago

The Mollo with the cbg in it. It’s the best! Anytime I recommend them to people, they’ve been well received.

1

u/Next_Cat_5628 8d ago

Sweet justice

u/tremblate 8d ago

If they still have it, the collective drinks are the most cocktail-y.

I quite liked the summit peach iced tea, if it's still around.

1

u/coltraz 8d ago

does it take a while for them to kick in, like edibles? or is it kinda like you're feeling it before you're done?

3

u/OkDish4747 8d ago

Liquids digest quicker than solids. Usually about 25-30 mins for me.

1

u/AhMr1 8d ago

I’m wondering, how strong are the drinks ? have a vape and used to smoke joints, pretty decent tolerance, nslc edibles are too weak for me but I’ve never tried the drinks. Worth a try?

1

u/SayinItAsISeeIt 7d ago

The root beer drink is really nice on ice

1

u/No_Word4526 7d ago

Do we find these effective ? Always been curious ! Just seems like such low thc content

1

u/Wiji-NEC 6d ago

Wait some of them have a weed taste?

Im not a big edibles person as im not that hardcore but every drink I had never had any weed taste.

1

u/J0annaRose 4d ago

It's been a few years, but the last one I tried did.

1

u/Jakozoz 7d ago

You’d be better off driving down the road 10 minutes where you can get a 400mg of concentrate for 25 dollars then you dilute it by pouring it over some sprite with ice you can make 20 20 mg drinks for the price of 4 of the 5mg ones at nslc

u/dougieman6 8d ago

If you enjoy root beer, it's one of the flavours that genuinely tastes like the real deal as opposed to some other drinks that just taste like lemonade but shittier. I forget the brand in particular that I enjoyed but others have given recs.

u/SleepyMarijuanaut92 Twin if by Peaks 8d ago

Both Mollo's, and Sweet Justice Root Beer. Mollo used to have a non-alc thc beer, and it was so good. That was my favorite of all.
