Logan’s Roadhouse is trying out adult beverages that provide a different sort of buzz.
The steakhouse chain is testing three THC-infused cocktails, tapping into growing demand for beverages made with the cannabinoid. They are available in 14 locations in Texas.
The hand-mixed drinks are made with Flora brand cannabis-infused spirits. They contain 5 milligrams of hemp-derived THC and are intended for “moderate, social consumption.”
Here are the drinks and flavor profiles:
Scarlet Haze: Prickly pear with lemon and lime.
Pineapple Express: Fruity mix of pineapple, orange juice and grenadine.
High Tide: Flavors of pineapple and coconut.

The drinks are priced at $9.99. Customers are limited to three per visit and cannot order them alongside alcohol. And they must be 21 or older to imbibe.
THC beverages came almost out of nowhere in 2018, when hemp was legalized at the federal level. (Hemp is similar to marijuana but contains lower levels of THC, yet still enough to get a buzz.) That led to a wave of hemp-based THC products, including sodas, seltzers and mocktails, now found at many retailers and breweries and some restaurants. Even Target sells them in some markets.
The drinks have met with strong demand from consumers, many of whom are seeking healthier alternatives to alcohol. According to various market research firms, THC beverages were at least a $1 billion market in 2025 and could quadruple in size by 2028.
However, they will have to overcome a major regulatory roadblock to get there. Tucked into the bill that ended the federal government shutdown last year was a provision that would ban THC-infused drinks and snacks federally this coming November. Hemp industry advocates are working to delay or block the ban.
Some states have also outlawed or restricted THC drinks and other products.
But for now, customers can still sip their THC at Logan’s in Texas, the nation’s leading hemp producer. Select locations will host a tasting event on June 8 where customers can try a flight of the new drinks.
“Guest preferences around beverages are evolving quickly, and we’re seeing growing interest in traditional alcohol substitutes,” said Shawn VanWinkle, Logan’s VP of marketing, in a statement. “Offering a low-dose THC option allows us to meet that demand in a thoughtful way while keeping the focus on what Logan’s does best, bringing people together over great food, great drinks and hospitality.”
Many restaurant brands are shaking up their beverage selections to match shifting consumer tastes, and the 115-unit Logan’s has been no exception. Last year, it launched Saddled-Up Sips, a take on dirty sodas, and now it’s experimenting with THC.
