Store THC drinks like any canned beverage — somewhere cool, dark, and out of direct sunlight — and refrigerate after opening. They have a best-by date and won’t spoil quickly, but heat and light gradually degrade both flavor and THC potency, so storage matters if you’re keeping them a while.
How to store them
- Cool and consistent: a pantry, cabinet, or fridge — avoid hot spots like a garage, car, or windowsill.
- Out of direct light: UV and heat are what break cannabinoids down fastest.
- Upright and sealed until you’re ready to drink.
- Refrigerate after opening and finish within about a day, like any carbonated drink.
- Out of reach of children and pets — always.
Do THC drinks expire?
They don’t spoil like fresh food, but they do have a best-by date. Over time — and faster in heat or light — the THC can slowly lose potency and the flavor and carbonation can fade. A properly stored can generally keeps well for many months; check the date printed on the package.
Signs to toss one
If a can is bulging, leaking, or the drink smells or tastes off when opened, don’t drink it. When in doubt, throw it out — it’s not worth the risk.
