The holiday season is in full swing and there is nothing more traditional than boozy holiday punch. Party hosts have been mixing up these sweet and fruity seasonal concoctions for decades, getting their guests more festive by the alcohol-fueled, calorie-laden glassful. Up until now, a bottle of cheap wine, vodka or brandy provided the only real base for this gleeful grog, topping off the tipsiness and driving up the dread for the inescapable hangover to follow.

But what if there was a way to get into the holiday spirit without, um, the spirit?

Luckily, like a liquid gift from Santa’s coolest helpers, Cannabis-infused beverages can now provide the perfect alternative base for your holiday punch without the negative effects of alcohol. With traditional flavor options like of orange, cinnamon, lime, cranberry and apple cider, cannabis-infused beverages provide the perfect buzz with far less calories and no hangover.

If it sounds too good to be true, think again. We are now living in an age where, in many states, cannabis is no longer prohibited. Advancements in micro-emulsion and infusion technologies have spiked an increase in infused beverages whose rapid onset effects and speedy dissipation rates have cannabis newbies and enthusiasts alike touting them as the safest, most consistent and predictable way to get know your dose and your high on.

Now that these beverages exist, many believe they will become the substitute intoxicant for traditional, alcohol-themed past times and gatherings. So, this year, as your friends and family gather around fires and football games to get toasted over the holidays, why not try a cannabis-infused beverage in place of that cheap wine, vodka or brandy?

For a delicious holiday punch, for example, start off with House of Saka PINK, widely hailed as the tastiest and most luxurious cannabis-infused beverages available today. Made from an alcohol-removed rose´ of Pinot Noir sourced from a single vineyard in Napa Valley, House of Saka PINK’s wine-like aromas and flavors of ripe strawberry, orange blossom, elderflower and pink grapefruit provide the perfect base holiday cheer.
