Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner, and party hosts everywhere are gearing up for a night filled with delicious Mexican food, lively music, and, of course, incredible drinks. While tequila and mezcal have traditionally stolen the spotlight at these celebrations, a trendier, health-conscious, and equally festive alternative is making waves in the party scene this year: Green Monké Happy Sodas.

Perfectly crafted for the modern celebrant, Green Monké Happy Sodas are THC-infused, alcohol-free beverages that offer the delicious joy of a tropical soda, striking an ideal balance between fun and wellness. Today, we're showing you why these happy sodas are the ultimate companion to your favorite Mexican dishes and how you can level up your Cinco de Mayo party by pairing them with classic Mexican flavors.

What Are Green Monké Happy Sodas?

Green Monké Happy Sodas are the refreshing new age drinks redefining how we celebrate. Infused with hemp-derived THC, these fizzy beverages provide a euphoric, uplifting experience without the drawbacks of alcohol, such as hangovers or calories from sugary mixers. Here’s what makes them special:

  • Zero Alcohol: You can kiss the morning-after headache goodbye. 
  • Tropical Flavors With a Twist: Inspired by the vibrant, bold taste of Jarritos (Mexico's iconic soda), Green Monké Happy Sodas come with a fraction of the sugar and all the flavor. 
  • Perfectly Balanced THC: Each can offers a gentle buzz for relaxation without overdoing it, making it an accessible option for everyone, even THC newcomers. 
  • Food-Friendly Appeal: These sodas are the MVP when it comes to pairing flavors, enhancing your dining experience beautifully with their vibrant fruity profiles. 

Now, let’s explore how these fizzy delights stack up when paired with food and why they deserve to be the star of your Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Mexican celebrations are all about flavor, and your drink should match the bold, satisfying tastes on your plate. Check out these pairing ideas to elevate your Cinco de Mayo spread:

1. Green Monké Mango Guava with Tacos al Pastor 

Tacos al Pastor, known for their smoky, citrus-marinated pork and sweet pineapple garnish, demand a beverage that complements their tangy and savory profile. Enter Green Monké Mango Guava. The tropical hints of mango echo those pineapple flavors beautifully, rounding off each bite with a refreshing fruity burst.

2. Green Monké Tropical Citrus with Chicken Enchiladas Verdes

The zingy, herbaceous flavors of chicken enchiladas verdes (made with tangy tomatillo sauce) pair effortlessly with the bright and zesty notes of Green Monké Tropical Citrus. This soda cuts through rich cheese and creamy sauces while brightening the overall meal.

3. Green Monké Orange Passionfruit with Churros and Cajeta

Who says soda can’t pair with dessert? Green Monké Orange Passionfruit is the ideal companion for churros dunked in cajeta (Mexican caramel sauce). Its tartness balances the sweetness, creating the perfect end to your festive meal.
