As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can confidently say that cannabis tequila, or THC-infused tequila, is not a real product. Tequila is a specific type of distilled spirit that is made from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the region of Jalisco, Mexico. It is regulated by strict standards and must meet certain criteria to be classified as tequila.
While there are variations and flavors of tequila available on the market, such as reposado or añejo, these are all still considered tequila because they are made from the agave plant. However, adding THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis, to tequila would not be legal or in accordance with the regulations set forth by the Tequila Regulatory Council.
Furthermore, the flavor profile and characteristics of tequila are derived from the agave plant and the fermentation and aging processes. Adding THC to tequila would alter the taste and overall experience of the spirit. It would no longer be considered tequila in the traditional sense.
That being said, there are non-alcoholic alternatives on the market that aim to mimic the flavors of tequila without the alcohol content. These products use botanicals and other natural ingredients to create a similar taste profile to tequila. However, they do not contain THC or any psychoactive compounds.
One example of a non-alcoholic, THC-infused spirit is Jalisco Agave MXXN. This product is designed to be mixed into traditional cocktails like Margaritas, Palomas, and Martinis. It aims to provide the flavor of tequila without the regret of alcohol consumption. While it may offer a similar taste experience, it is important to note that it is not actual tequila and does not contain THC.
Cannabis tequila is not a real product that exists within the legal framework of tequila production. However, there are non-alcoholic alternatives available that aim to replicate the flavors of tequila without the alcohol content. These products, like Jalisco Agave MXXN, can be enjoyed as a substitute in cocktails but do not contain THC.
