Introduction to Reframe Reframe is turning the notion of a "spirit" on its head, offering a premium, alcohol-free cannabis beverage that’s redefining social drinking. With organic, hemp-derived THC from California and no artificial flavors or dyes, Reframe is a chic and wellness-focused alternative to traditional booze. It’s crafted for those who want to savor their evenings without the downsides of alcohol—goodbye to hangovers, headaches, and grogginess, and hello to clean, feel-good vibes. Perfect for 4/20 daytime gatherings and nights out, Reframe balances a tropical flavor profile with a smooth, naturally-derived buzz. It’s not just a drink—it’s a reimagined way to connect. What Sets Reframe Apart All Natural Ingredients:  Made with organic fruit flavors and no artificial colors or dyes. Health-Conscious:  Nearly 80% fewer calories than traditional spirits like vodka or tequila. Hemp-Derived THC:  Derived from legal, third-party-tested hemp. Tailored Buzz:  A mellow, uplifting experience that builds gradually and tapers gently. Mixology-Friendly:  Delicious on its own or as the base for creative cocktails. Federally Legal: The THC within is derived totally from hemp which is legal according to the 2018 Farm Bill that regulates Hemp production and processing. How to Sip Smart Reframe works best when you take it slow. Start with 0.5 ounces (2mg THC) and give yourself 15-30 minutes to gauge the effects - especially if you are new to edibles and infused beverages. Those with a higher tolerance for THC can consider more, but even with my high tolerance I started with a lower amount - around 12mg at first, then ~12 more after about an hour. Note that the standard shot glass is 1.5 ounces so that would be 6mg THC per shot. ***Pro Tip: Going overboard with edibles is never a fun experience and I always start low and slow with new products*** Want to mix it up? Reframe's versatility shines when paired with mixers like soda water, fresh fruit juice, or herbal teas. I could also see it being the start of a boat drink party with frozen margaritas and piña coladas. In fact, the company provides recipes for Reframe margaritas and other bevies on their site. Here's the one for their mojito (my personal favorite): Reframe Mojito A refreshing twist on the classic mojito , made with Reframe spirit, fresh mint, lime, and a touch of sweetness! Ingredients 1.5 ounces Reframe spirit 6 fresh mint leaves 1/2 lime, cut into 4 wedges 2 teaspoons sugar Soda water Ice cubes Instructions Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the Reframe spirit over the ice, and fill the glass with soda water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge and a sprig of mint. Conclusion Reframe isn’t just a drink—it’s an invitation to reimagine how we celebrate and connect. Whether you’re gearing up for some live music or hosting a laid-back dinner party, this alcohol-free cannabis spirit will transform the way you vibe this 4/20 (and beyond). With its tropical flavors, health-conscious profile, and smooth buzz, Reframe is setting the stage for a new kind of "holiday" ritual. Order some Reframe and have it shipped to your door today!
