The Science Behind Liquid THC and How It Works in Your Body

An assortment of THC-infused cocktails from Jeng, featuring sparkling, zero-proof cans with microdosed THC.

THC cocktails are changing the way we unwind. Whether you're after a subtle mood boost or a more intentional way to socialize, liquid THC is at the heart of this new ritual—and it’s redefining how cannabis fits into modern life.

Forget the smoke. Skip the guessing games. Liquid THC gives you precise control, rapid onset, and a completely customizable experience—all with zero booze and none of the bad stuff. So, what exactly is liquid THC? How does it work in your body? And why is everyone talking about nano-emulsions? Let’s break it down.

What is Liquid THC?

Liquid THC is a versatile cannabis extract that delivers all the feel-good effects of THC in a clean, mixable, and fast-acting form. Unlike THC oils blended with carriers like coconut oil or MCT, true liquid THC is more bioavailable, more precise, and more dynamic. It can be:

  • Tinctures: Droppers of THC suspended in alcohol, glycerin, or oil, designed for sublingual use.
  • Nano-emulsified formulas: Tiny, water-compatible THC particles that absorb faster and hit sooner.
  • Ready-to-drink THC cocktails: Like Jeng’s sparkling, zero-proof cans that combine microdosed THC with craveable craft cocktail flavors.

It’s THC—but elevated. None of the alcohol. All of the feel-good factors.

How Liquid THC is Made

The process behind liquid THC is as fascinating as it is functional.

  1. Extraction: It starts with the hemp plant. THC is carefully pulled from the flower using CO2 or ethanol extraction. This isolates the beneficial cannabinoids—cleanly and efficiently.
  2. Activation: Next, heat is applied to activate the THC (in a process called decarboxylation), making it psychoactive and bioavailable.
  3. Formulation: Depending on the end product, the activated THC may be mixed into a tincture, cocktail, or nano-emulsion. For fast-acting drinks like Jeng, nano-emulsification breaks the THC into microscopic, water-friendly particles that absorb more efficiently in your body.

The result? A smooth, precisely-dosed liquid that delivers calm, clarity, and creativity—without the alcohol, smoke, or sugar crash.

The Effects of Liquid THC: What to Expect

Think elevated mood meets deep calm. A good liquid THC experience feels like this:

  • A wave of calm confidence that settles over you
  • Creative energy without overstimulation
  • Heightened sensory awareness—colors feel richer, music sounds deeper
  • Zero fog. No anxiety. Just presence.

Your experience will depend on your body, dosage, and tolerance—but that’s what makes liquid THC so special. It’s customizable. It’s precise. It meets you where you are.

Are There Risks to Using Liquid THC?

As with anything that alters your state, it pays to be mindful. Some possible side effects include:

  • Dry mouth
  • Lightheadedness
  • Altered perception
  • Anxiety or paranoia (usually from taking too much)

It’s also important to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery after consuming THC. Other things to keep in mind:

  • Know your dosage: Start low (2.5–5mg) and wait before increasing. Jeng’s cocktails are microdosed with 3mg of liquid THC, so we are beginner-friendly. 
  • Avoid mixing with alcohol or medications: If you’re on prescription meds, talk to your doctor first.
  • Stay hydrated: Keep water nearby to stay refreshed and avoid cottonmouth.
  • Store it smart: Tinctures and liquid THC products should be kept in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. Avoid heat, light, and air exposure to preserve potency.

With Jeng’s THC-infused cocktails, you can sip, savor, and still wake up feeling refreshed and inspired. Hangover? Never heard of her.
