As we settle into the pleasant, cool evenings of late September 2025, it's the perfect time for a more sophisticated beverage. The classic Italian soda, with its vibrant fruit flavors and creamy top, is a timeless delight. We've taken that inspiration and elevated it with complex floral notes and a smooth cannabis lift to create the Nowadays Italian Soda — a truly special mocktail for any occasion.
The Heart of the Soda: Nowadays Cannabis Beverage
The foundation of this elegant drink is the versatile, non-alcoholic Nowadays cannabis spirit. Its neutral, clean profile allows the other delicate flavors to shine while providing a consistent and enjoyable cannabis experience. You can easily customize the potency to fit your mood:
- For a Gentle Lift (5mg THC): Use 1.5oz of Nowadays Low Dose. This provides a mild, sociable effect that’s perfect for relaxing without being overpowering.
- For a Stronger Effect (10mg THC): For our more experienced customers, substituting with 1.5oz of Nowadays High Dose creates a more potent, full-strength cannabis beverage.
You can choose the perfect Nowadays cannabis beverage from our premium selection.
A Symphony of Flavors: Why This Recipe Works
This isn't just a simple soda — it's a layered flavor experience. The deep, tart notes of pomegranate are beautifully complemented by the sweet, aromatic essence of lavender syrup. The crisp sparkling water provides a refreshing fizz, and the drink is finished with a luxurious, creamy layer of vanilla cold foam. It's a delightful interplay of tart, floral, and creamy that is both unique and incredibly satisfying.
