Move over wine dinners—there’s a new party format in town, and it’s dressed in herby notes and group giggles. Cannabis-pairing dinners need their moment to shine and we’re here to kick start your planning.

If you’re looking for an excuse to host a fun, intimate dinner party and with a little twist, you’ve come to the right table. Hosting a dinner party that’s perfectly paired to your favorite THC drink is a fabulous reason to bring friends together (if we do say so ourselves). Our drinks are low-dose, high-flavor, and designed to be sipped, savored, and thoughtfully paired with dishes that complement their distinct personalities. Below, you’ll find our take on hosting a cannabis-pairing dinner party—from the tasting menu to etiquette tips your guests (and their tolerance levels) will thank you for.

Carefully Consider Your Guest List

We’re team small-and-intentional when it comes to who’s making the cut. Ditch the big guest list and curate a circle of close friends—the kind you actually want to get a little buzzed around. When planning an evening centered around THC drinks, it’s all about trust, good vibes, and a shared sense of ease. Ideally, invite folks who’ve taken a spin with cannabis before (no need to be a THC drink pro), and focus on creating a setting that feels safe, cozy, and open to whatever the night brings.

Curate the Vibe

Atmosphere matters. We love using mood lighting, fresh florals, and ambient music to create a setting that feels both elevated and relaxed. Think: low-key sophistication with a hint of playfulness. (Bonus points if you have a curated playlist and some cozy floor pillows for post-dinner lounging.) Keep water within reach for everyone, and consider a little palate cleanser (like sparkling water with a cucumber slice) between each course to reset your guests’ taste buds and energy.

Set the Tone (and the Table)

Before anyone takes a sip, it’s important to let your guests know exactly what’s on the menu—especially when cannabis is involved.

• • Communicate dosage right from the start, especially if guests are new to THC drinks or low-tolerance.
  • Offer non-infused drink options alongside your pairing menu
  • Reminding guests to pace themselves and drink plenty of water throughout the night.

A helpful menu card with dosage and flavor cues for each course can help guide the evening and make even the most canna-cautious guests feel totally comfortable. 

Create a Three-Course Cannabis Pairing Menu

Now for the main event: your tasting menu. Each of our signature THC drinks has its own flavor profile, and we’ve crafted dish pairings that highlight their essence while adding depth to the dining experience.

1. First Course – Paired with Best Zest

Drink Profile: Bright, citrus-forward, with a whisper of spice.
Pairing Dish: Spiced citrus shrimp with fennel and arugula salad (full recipe here)
Why it works: The grapefruit and orange notes in Best Zest mirror the citrus marinade on the shrimp, while its peppery finish stands up to the fresh bite of arugula. It’s a zippy, energetic start that wakes up the palate without overwhelming it.

2. Main Course – Paired with Into the Woods

Drink Profile: Stone fruit meets pine and rosemary—earthy, resinous, deeply aromatic.
Pairing Dish: Rosemary-crusted lamb chops with roasted apricots and fingerling potatoes (full recipe here)
Why it works: The pine and rosemary in Into the Woods find their perfect partner in the herbaceous lamb, while the sweetness of the roasted apricots brings out the drink’s stone fruit notes. Elegant, earthy, and slightly wild—just how we like it.

3. Dessert – Paired with Night Flight

Drink Profile: Blackberry, ginger, mint, and hibiscus—a juicy opening with a refreshing finish.
Pairing Dish: Blackberry Cream Pie (full recipe here)
Why it works: Night Flight echoes the soft burst of berries in the dessert; this lush, end-of-evening treat plays like a lullaby for your taste buds.

Wrap It All Up with a Thank You—and Maybe an Early Bedtime

A cannabis-pairing dinner isn’t about getting stoned—it’s about building a thoughtful, flavorful experience that stimulates the senses and encourages connection. Let your guests know how much you appreciate them joining, and send them home with something small and sweet—a can of their favorite THC drink from the evening or a non-infused treat to enjoy later.

Hosting a cannabis-pairing dinner is a little bit of art, a little bit of science, and a whole lot of fun. So go ahead: light that rosemary sprig, chill those drinks, and gather your favorite people around the table. Just remember—the best kind of high is the kind you curate with care.
