Funky Buddha Expands Offerings with Launch of THC Social Tonics

Available starting October 15, South Florida's largest craft brewery is going beyond beer with a brand-new line of non-alcoholic, hemp-derived THC and CBD beverages.

OAKLAND PARK, Fla - October 15, 2025 - Funky Buddha, a pioneer in Florida's craft beer scene, is ushering in a new era with the debut of THC Social Tonics, refreshing microdosed beverages designed to uplift, relax, and bring people together. Beginning October 15, consumers nationwide can find these hemp-derived THC beverages online at the link below, and for sale in four-packs of 12-oz. cans at Funky Buddha's Oakland Park location with a rollout to select retailers to follow. Delivering the same thoughtful craftsmanship and layered flavor profiles Funky Buddha is known for, these plant-based beverages combine Delta-9 THC and CBD, both derived from federally legal hemp, for a mood-enhancing experience with zero alcohol.

Two core varieties cater to different experiences: The Mellow Buddha Social Tonic features 5mg THC and 5mg CBD for a light, approachable lift, while the Funky Buddha Social Tonic packs 10mg of THC and 10mg CBD for a fuller, more elevated feeling. Gluten-free with just 35 calories per can and no artificial flavors, these feel-good sips spotlight Funky Buddha's experimental approach to ingredients with three vibrant flavors: Blackberry Lemon, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Passion Fruit Lime – available online starting at $17.99 per four-pack.

Renowned for inventive beverages like Maple Bacon Coffee Porter and No Crusts Peanut Butter and Jelly Brown Ale, Funky Buddha's team has spent the past year perfecting these products. True to form, more unexpected THC beverages will debut soon, continuing to surprise drinkers with one-of-a-kind, playful flavors. With this launch, Funky Buddha continues its tradition of offering a fresh, new way to sip, socialize, and spark good vibes in South Florida and beyond.

"Since 2007, Funky Buddha has been all about creativity and community," said Ryan Sentz, co-founder of Funky Buddha. "Our approach has always been to push the boundaries of flavor in unexpected ways. These THC Social Tonics are a natural extension of that spirit. People today are looking for drinks that are both fun and functional, and we're thrilled to bring that experience to life with this launch. It's just the beginning of a new chapter of flavor and innovations for Funky Buddha."

"The beverage world is evolving faster than ever, and THC drinks are leading that charge," said K.C. Sentz, co-founder of Funky Buddha. "It's the fastest-growing category in the space, driven by consumers who want new, mindful ways to socialize. For us, this category feels like a perfect fit for what we've always done, pushing boundaries with creative beverages and creating experiences that bring people together."
