Meet Cycling Frog’s  lineup:

With a range of all natural fruit flavors and potency levels to fit every tolerance, our THC + CBD seltzers and lemonades offer a great lower calorie alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages like hard seltzer, beer, cider, and cocktails. 

Let's take a look at the nutritional profile of the Cycling Frog seltzer lineup from lowest to highest calorie and carb content:

Our Light line of seltzers are our lowest calorie offerings and are crafted for those with a lower tolerance and for those looking for a light and easy sip. Each can has an approachable 2mg THC and 4mg CBD, but if that sounds too low, don’t worry; at only 20 calories per 12oz can, you can feel good cracking open the next cold one when you're ready!

Our Classic line of seltzers come with 5mg THC and 10mg CBD, and only 50-60 calories per 12oz can. Packed with intense fruit flavor and formulated with half the calories as a traditional hard seltzer or beer, you won’t feel guilty enjoying a few cans with friends. The best part--no hangover the next day!

We’re introducing a new 10mg THC 10mg CBD line of seltzers, starting with a limited time offering of mouth watering Cran Razz, with twice the THC of our classic line, and the same low 60 calories per 12oz can, these are the next step up for those craving a stronger buzz without compromising your diet.

Last but not least, our High Potency line. Each 16oz can contains 50mg THC and 50mg CBD per can, and are not designed for strangers to THC. Each can contains 160 calories, in the same range as an average cocktail. These cans can also be split into (10) 1.6oz 5mg “shots” at 16 calories each or (5) 3.2oz 10mg servings at only 32 calories per serving, which can be used as the base for your mock-tail of choice!

Stacked side by side, It's clear to see that Cycling Frog THC seltzers are the calorie conscious winner for relaxation and social enjoyment!

Transparency: What’s in Your Drink?

One of the biggest advantages of Cycling Frog’s THC + CBD drinks is transparency. We believe you deserve to know exactly what's in your beverage. That’s why we use the best possible ingredients, using only real fruit juice and all natural flavors for our seltzers. We provide clear ingredient lists and nutritional information panel on every can, including details about THC and CBD content, calorie count, and added sugars. You can also scan the QR code on your can to view the third party lab certificate of analysis (COA) for every batch of product we make. This level of transparency allows you to see the exact potency and purity of the beverage in your hand.

In contrast, most alcoholic beverages don’t offer the same level of transparency, with relaxed labeling guidelines, the manufacturers of hard seltzers, ciders, beers, wines, and canned cocktails can conveniently omit ingredients lists and nutritional information from the can, making it hard to know exactly what you’re putting in your body. The lack of disclosure also makes it difficult to track your calorie, sugar, and carb intake, and gives you even less visibility into artificial flavors and additives, leaving you in the dark when trying to make informed choices for your health. 

Ready to Make the Switch?

When you choose Cycling Frog over alcohol, you’re not just choosing a beverage that’s lower in calories and carbs, you’re also choosing part of a healthier lifestyle. We prioritize transparency, and our products are crafted for mindful, health-conscious consumers who want to unwind with the benefits of THC and CBD, while having the transparency and peace of mind of knowing exactly what’s going into their body. 

Whether you're in it for the relaxing effects of THC and CBD or just looking for a delicious and lower calorie alternative to alcohol, we’ve got you covered.

Sip, relax, and enjoy – without the extra calories and hidden ingredients.
