Why CBD Seltzers Are Taking Over New England's Beverage Scene

CBD seltzers have made a splash in New England, offering a refreshing twist to the local beverage landscape. As more people discover the wellness benefits of CBD-infused drinks, these bubbly beverages provide a flavorful, functional, and non-intoxicating way to unwind.

Here’s why CBD seltzers are quickly becoming the beverage of choice across the region and why it’s time to stock your fridge with a few.

1. Effervescent and Flavorful

CBD seltzers are more than just sparkling water, they’re bursting with natural flavors that elevate everyday sipping. From tangy citrus to juicy berry blends, there’s a palate-pleasing option for everyone.

Take Shimmerwood’s Ginger Orange or Chai Cherry, which combine broad-spectrum CBD with high-quality botanical flavors.

2. Subtle Relaxation Without the High

One of the top questions people ask: Does CBD get you high? The answer is no. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, offering relaxation without impairment. This makes CBD seltzers a great option for those who want to unwind while staying sharp.

Each can of Shimmer Seltzer contains 5mg of broad-spectrum CBD, providing just the right amount of balance and calm, ideal for work, home, or social settings.

3. Hydration Meets Health

CBD seltzers offer hydration and wellness benefits in one refreshing can. Unlike oils or tinctures, they’re simple, tasty, and easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

In New England, where the weather ranges from humid summers to dry winters, hydration is crucial. These beverages help you stay refreshed and focused year-round, whether you’re hiking the White Mountains or commuting through Boston.

Our Shimmer Process uses nano-emulsified broad-spectrum CBD, ensuring better absorption and faster effects than traditional tinctures or capsules. Learn more about nano-CBD from Canna Tech Today.

4. A Perfect Pair for Regional Foods

From buttery lobster rolls to hearty clam chowder, CBD seltzers are a natural fit for New England cuisine. Their bright, crisp flavors enhance and never overpower regional dishes.

Pair a tangy Razz Lime with grilled seafood, or a rich Chai Cherry with creamy chowder.

Shimmerwood is proud to be the only CBD beverage company recognized by Maine Made—a distinction that reflects our dedication to local craft and quality.

5. Ideal for Social Gatherings
