# Artet Artet is the drink that invented the THC aperitif — a botanical, non-alcoholic cannabis spirit designed for the cocktail hour, not the couch. **Who they are** Artet was founded by two brothers and their cousin with a family mission that's become brand lore: bring THC to Thanksgiving dinner. Funded in part by their grandmother Priscilla, who helped create the first batch, the family built Artet as a genuine alternative to alcohol — something you pour into a glass, garnish, and sip slowly. It effectively started the THC spirits category and still defines its high end. **What they make** The flagship Artet aperitif blends cardamom, ginger, juniper, and grapefruit with a gentle 2.5mg THC per pour, designed for mixing into cannabis cocktails. The line has grown to include extra-strength and high-potency versions, single-serve pours, and a set of THC + CBD spritzes in four flavors. Licensed cannabis versions sell through dispensaries in California, Illinois, and Michigan. **Known for** Treating cannabis like a craft spirit. Artet's amber bottle looks at home on a bar cart, its dose-per-pour format mimics the ritual of an amaro, and its recipes get written up in cocktail media as often as cannabis media. It's the default answer to "what do I serve instead of wine?" **Where to find them** Licensed dispensaries in California, Illinois, and Michigan, with broader retail distribution for its non-dispensary line across the country. **The High Rise Read** Artet understood earlier than almost anyone that the real competitor for cannabis beverages isn't other weed drinks — it's alcohol. By building for ritual, glassware, and dinner guests, it carved out a lane no seltzer can touch. Website: artet.com
