With fast-acting THC and low sugar, Summit’s seltzers feel like a direct swap for hard seltzers—just with a better, quicker, more controlled high.

Summit THC Seltzer Review: The THC Drink for People Who Hate Feeling WreckedTHC seltzers are starting to feel like their own category. They sit somewhere between edibles and alcohol. It’s something you can sip, something social, but still built around dose. Some brands are stacking ingredients to shape the experience. Others are focusing on how quickly they hit. Summit heads into both balance and speed.

Summit’s THC Seltzers comes in at 5mg THC 10mg CBD per can, which immediately puts it in a different lane than standard THC drinks. It’s trying to stay controlled and not trying to hit hard. Their seltzers come in two flavors, Orange Passionfruit and Blueberry Pomegranate, and are marketed as fast-acting with a structure that’s meant to feel more immediate than a traditional edible. That’s a big part of the appeal. You’re not waiting an hour to figure out where you’re at.

The question is whether that speed and the flavor actually holds up.

TL;DR – My Quick Verdict

Buy it if: you want a fast-acting, low-dose THC drink that can replace a hard seltzer

Skip it if: you’re looking for something complex or flavor-driven

Best part: low sugar, quick onset, easy pacing, feels like an alcohol substitute

Biggest drawback: flavors are light and not memorable, but some people may like that

A 6-pack runs $39.99 ($6.67 per can), a 12-pack is $69.99 ($5.83 per can), and a 24-pack drops to $119.99 ($5 per can). It’s priced like a premium hard seltzer, which makes the swap pretty easy. It’s also relatively affordable for the category, especially at this 5mg THC 10mg CBD dose. Comparable drinks can run higher; for example, Cann typically lands around $9 per can in an 8-pack.
