Adult beverage consumption in Chicago is undergoing a transformation with the arrival of THC-infused, non-alcoholic beverages in local liquor stores. Since the legalization of recreational cannabis in Illinois in 2020, interest in cannabis has surged, with more consumers exploring new formats. THC-infused beverages are becoming increasingly popular for those seeking an alternative to traditional alcohol that still provides a social experience.

WYNK is leading the charge with its THC and CBD-infused beverages, now available in liquor stores across the Chicagoland area. These drinks offer a zero-calorie, zero-sugar choice for health-conscious consumers.

Formulated with hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, the same natural and psychoactive cannabinoid found in dispensaries, WYNK provides the effects of cannabis without the need to visit a dispensary. The blend of Delta-9 THC and CBD results in a balanced buzz similar to alcohol, offering a familiar experience for those who enjoy social drinking.

Angus Rittenburg, WYNK’s co-founder and CEO, emphasizes the convenience of their products. “By offering our beverages in liquor stores, we make it easier for Chicagoans to enjoy cannabis in social settings,” he notes. “WYNK provides a light buzz with none of the drawbacks of traditional alcohol.”

These THC-infused drinks deliver a controlled, enjoyable experience without the hangover or extra calories associated with alcoholic beverages. “We’re thrilled to offer a familiar and enjoyable alternative to alcohol,” Rittenburg adds, “allowing people to unwind and feel great the next day.”

The introduction of these beverages in liquor stores represents a significant shift in accessibility. WYNK’s THC-infused drinks are available not only at Binny’s Beverage Depot but also at hundreds of other outlets where you would typically purchase alcoholic beverages, including bars and restaurants. Visit your local WYNK retailer to explore this new way to enhance your social gatherings.
