As consumers around the U.S. have eased into 2025 with a month-long commitment to refrain from alcoholic beverages, some are contemplating keeping a lack of spirits alive in February and beyond.Among some of the most popular alcohol-free beverages are virgin mojitos and piña coladas, booze-less seltzers and zero-proof canned mocktails.One brand, Modern Alchemist, is taking consumption in the alcohol-free space to a new level by offering THC- and CBD-infused mocktails.LOOK WHO’S EXPERIMENTING WITH MARIJUANA TODAY MORE THAN ANY OTHER AGE GROUP”Being in the beer industry for so long, we are recognizing that everybody’s not one dimensional,” CEO of Modern Alchemist Nathan Kelischek told FOX Business. “Everyone’s not looking to buy alcohol all the time.”Each can is made with 5 mg of both USA-grown hemp derived THC and CBD.Kelischek is also one of the founders of Appalachian Mountain Brewery, a North Carolina-based business.”We don’t think there’s anything wrong with alcohol,” Kelischek added. “I think that the modern person or modern consumer wants to have more options and more control over the day that they have next or how they want to feel.”In 2021, cannabidiol products generated $5.3 billion and by 2026 are projected to increase to $16 billion, according to Statista.
