What Makes jixxie Sessionable?
Whether you find jixxie through our website, our Instagram, or in your local liquor store during one of our tastings, you’ll hear us say the word “sessionable” a lot. While you may not find this word recognized by dictionaries, it has firm roots within the craft beer community. Sessionable refers to a beverage’s ability to be consumed more than once in a setting, to a degree that is enjoyable. We borrowed this term to apply towards jixxie because it’s true!
jixxie Versus Other THC Beverages
While browsing for THC beverages, there are two distinct traits about the category that will catch your eye. The first will be the colorful and extravagant array of designs that are used. The second will be the content of active ingredients available within each unique beverage. Most beverages on the market will offer 5 mg of THC per 12 oz container, with some others offering 10 mg of THC per 16 oz container. There are a few outliers in the category that offer much more THC, and even fewer outliers that offer any CBD at all. The reason jixxie stands out against the crowd is because of our commitment to creating a more balanced experience of THC by providing an equal amount of CBD. For example, our 2 mg THC flavors come with 2 mg of CBD, and the same goes for our 4 mg THC flavors.
For this reason, you won’t see the word sessionable being used by other beverages in the category. It’s pretty difficult to imagine a social setting where someone would drink multiple 10 mg THC beverages while still intending to be present and engaged with their guests.
With jixxie, our relatively low-dose offerings create a better floor for new consumers to enter, while still catering to consumers who are familiar with the category. In addition, jixxie has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners, allowing us to be low-calorie as well. On average, a craft beer can have anywhere from 150-200 calories per serving, whereas jixxie only has between 25-30 calories per serving.
Quality Ingredients and Unique Flavors
Have you ever read the nutrition label on any given beverage from the THC category? You might be shocked at the amount of sugar that gets added into these beverages. We’ve seen a wild range of the amount of sugar added to these beverages, that they could be compared to sodas or sweet teas. And for the drinks that don’t have a ton of sugar, they end up tasting bitter with a “hemp-like” aftertaste with faint hints of the flavors added that are advertised on the can.
With jixxie, we wanted to create a natural and fragrant carbonated beverage that would remind you of pleasant memories year-round. We invested, researched, and procured the best ingredients we could find for our flavors. All of our beverages are based on adapting the flavor present in natural fruit juices to begin with. In the process of creating a THC and CBD infused drink, we layer other ingredients on top to smooth out the end result as the taste evolves throughout production.
What we end up with is a high quality, all natural seltzer infused with THC that doesn’t taste too sweet, has no bitter aftertaste and contains no added junk or sweeteners. Our commitment to unique flavors built on quality ingredients makes it incredibly easy to consume more than one in a single setting.
What Sessionable Should Feel Like
A sessionable beverage should make you feel inclined to have more with confidence. A social event may be a few hours long, and nursing a single drink throughout would result in a flat or stale taste, with diminished flavor. With a beverage that only contains THC, it would be difficult to imagine someone consuming multiple over the course of a few hours, especially while factoring the caloric value due to the added sugar in most THC beverages.
Whether you’re the host or a guest at a social event, jixxie is the perfect option to create a sessionable experience. THC’s effects can be grounded and made to feel more mellow with the addition of CBD. Which means after one jixxie, you’ll feel more confident having another. If you’d like, you could even start with a 4 mg jixxie, and end your evening with a couple more 2 mg jixxies. Due to the great taste of our flavors and the experience of THC and CBD, you could consume a few jixxies over the course of a few hours, and still only have consumed 6-8 mg of THC. In terms of calories, it’s still well under 200 which leaves you with plenty of room to snack on hors d'oeuvres. Just remember to always start slow, and consume responsibly!
This is what sessionable should feel like, and that’s the experience we’ve strived to create with jixxie.
