Miami’s medical cannabis scene has quietly added a new way to dose: infused beverages and beverage enhancers you can pick up at licensed dispensaries. They’re fast-acting, easy to portion, and—unlike smoking—don’t leave a cloud behind. Here’s what’s on shelves around Miami right now, how much THC you’re actually drinking, how that compares to alcohol, and what the sales picture looks like through August 2025.
What Miami dispensaries actually sell (brands & THC)
Curaleaf / Select “Squeeze” (beverage enhancer)
Curaleaf locations around Miami (e.g., North Miami Beach / Biscayne, Dadeland, Miami Airport, Bird Road) stock the Select Squeeze line—30 mL, water-soluble THC drops you add to any drink. Current Miami menus list flavors like Strawberry Lemonade, Peach Tea, Lemon Lime, and “Hint of Sweet,” typically ~135–153 mg THC per 30 mL bottle (patients meter out small servings into water or juice).

Trulieve / Momenta “Florida Orange – Tonic 50 mg”
Trulieve’s statewide catalog includes a 50 mg THC “Florida Orange – Tonic,” essentially a ready-to-mix edible beverage. Inventory varies by store, but patients near the Trulieve Miami locations can check the beverage-mix category and filter by availability. READ MORE: Trulieve
Surterra (Parallel) – beverages category
Surterra’s Miami shops (e.g., Dadeland and Miami Beach) regularly list edibles and wellness products, and Weedmaps/Surterra pages show a beverages category for nearby Surterra stores in South Florida (availability changes with local stock). If you shop Surterra in Miami, ask for current beverage or drink-mix SKUs. READ MORE: surterra.com
A note on formats. In Florida’s medical market, beverage SKUs are often mixers/enhancers (water-soluble drops, tonics, powders) rather than canned seltzers. Curaleaf also developed “Zero Proof” drinkables and a hemp THC FormulaX energy drink (sold outside the dispensary system), but inside Florida MMTCs you’ll most commonly see Select Squeeze-style droppers and tonic/drink-mix edibles.

How strong is a cannabis drink compared to alcohol?
Regulators in mature markets use 10 mg THC as a standard cannabis serving for edibles/drinkables. That doesn’t mean 10 mg equals “one beer”—it just standardizes labeling and portioning. By contrast, U.S. health agencies define one standard alcoholic drink as 14 g of pure alcohol (e.g., 12 oz of 5% beer, 5 oz of 12% wine, or 1.5 oz of 40% spirits). The two standards are not physiologically equivalent, but they’re useful for pacing: many new edible beverage users start with 2.5–5 mg THC and wait 60–120 minutes before considering more.
Practical rule of thumb:
- Micro-dose social sip: 2.5–5 mg THC (some people perceive this like the “light buzz” from a half-drink).
- Standard single serving: 10 mg THC (akin to “a full serving” of cannabis, not one alcoholic drink).
Because THC affects people differently—and beverages can be nano-emulsified (faster onset)—start low and go slow.
What the sales data say through August 2025
Florida’s overall medical cannabis sales were robust through the summer: ~$989 million January–July and ~$1.14 billion year-to-date with $149.2 million in August alone, according to Headset-sourced reporting. READ MORE: The Marijuana Herald
Within that big total, beverages remain a small but growing slice nationwide. BDSA reports beverages accounted for ~1% of total cannabis sales across tracked markets, reaching $54.6 million in Q1 2025 and making up ~6% of edible dollar sales. The category also shows outsized spikes on social holidays like 4/20. Florida-specific beverage revenue isn’t published publicly, but applying BDSA’s ~1% rule of thumb to Florida’s YTD figure would imply roughly $10–12 million in infused beverage sales through August—an estimate, not an official state break-out.

Why the small share? In medical-only states like Florida, many patients still favor tinctures, capsules, and vapes for precision and speed. Beverages compete better in social, after-work use cases where patients want a familiar format (a “mocktail” or seltzer) with controllable micro-doses.
Timelines & how we got here
- 2020: Florida allows edibles, opening the door to beverage-type products (drink mixes, tonics) sold as edibles. (Policy backdrop referenced in FL OMMU guidance over 2020–21; current product catalogs reflect that opening.)
- 2021: Curaleaf launches Select Squeeze nationally; Florida menus later integrate Squeeze SKUs at Miami shops. (“Curaleaf Introduces “Select Squeeze”)
- 2022–2024: Brands expand water-soluble/nano lines; Trulieve promotes nanomedicine options; beverage mix categories appear in online menus. READ MORE: Trulieve
- 2025: Category momentum continues: infused drinks notch double-digit YoY growth nationally, though still ~1% share overall. Florida sales cross $1.14B YTD by August 2025, with beverages a small, steady contributor.
How to shop (and dose) infused drinks in Miami
- Pick your format.
- Enhancers/droppers (e.g., Select Squeeze): Add to any drink; easy micro-dosing; bottles often carry ~135–153 mg THC total with marked “squeeze” portions.
- Tonics/mixes (e.g., Trulieve Momenta 50 mg): Pre-portioned total THC; mix with water/ice.
- Start low, wait, re-assess.
Try 2.5–5 mg THC first. Nano-emulsified products may hit faster, but a 60–120-minute wait is still a good safety window before adding more. - Don’t mix with alcohol.
Even if a THC “mocktail” looks like a margarita, THC + alcohol can compound impairment. Keep them separate, and never drive. (For context on alcohol impairment, see U.S. standard drink definitions). - Check menus for stock.
Miami inventories rotate—look up Curaleaf (North Biscayne, Dadeland, Airport, Bird Rd.), Trulieve (Miami), and Surterra (Dadeland, Miami Beach) menus before heading out.
Bottom line
Infused cannabis beverages in Miami are real, available, and patient-friendly, especially if you prefer smoke-free, micro-dose options. On Miami shelves, you’ll most reliably find Select Squeeze 1%—but growing slice of sales across legal markets; extrapolating that to Florida’s $1.14B YTD suggests low-eight-figure beverage revenue statewide so far this year. For patients, the appeal is simple: familiar drinking rituals, precise dosing, and no smoke—just remember that 10 mg THC is a full cannabis serving, not “one drink,” and plan your dose (and your ride) accordingly.
