Artet

Artet is the drink that invented the THC aperitif—a botanical, non-alcoholic cannabis spirit designed for the cocktail hour. Artet was founded by two brothers and their cousin with the goal of bringing 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 intended for pouring into a glass, garnishing, and sipping slowly. The brand effectively started the THC spirits category and continues to define its high end. The flagship Artet aperitif blends cardamom, ginger, juniper, and grapefruit with 2.5mg THC per pour, designed for mixing into cannabis cocktails. The product line has grown to include extra-strength and high-potency versions, single-serve pours, and a set of THC and CBD spritzes in four flavors. Licensed cannabis versions are sold through dispensaries in California, Illinois, and Michigan. Artet treats cannabis like a craft spirit. Its amber bottle is designed for the bar cart, its dose-per-pour format mimics the ritual of an amaro, and its recipes are featured in cocktail media as often as cannabis media. It serves as an alternative to wine for social gatherings. Products are available at licensed dispensaries in California, Illinois, and Michigan, with broader retail distribution for its non-dispensary line across the country. Artet positions cannabis beverages as a direct alternative to alcohol, focusing on ritual, glassware, and dinner service to distinguish itself from standard seltzers.
