Four lines, each doing something different. Prices sit on the live menu rather than here, because they move with every drop and a stale number helps nobody.
ST IDES makes cannabis drinks, and at Evergreen that is all it makes. Three SKUs, all of them 4 fl oz non-carbonated shots at 100mg.
Energy Blast, Blue Razz, and Nighttime Snooze Berries, which runs a 100mg THC to 20mg CBN ratio rather than THC alone.
The 4oz format is the thing to understand. This is a shot, not a soda. A 100mg dose in four ounces is concentrated, and it is designed to be measured out over several sittings rather than finished like a drink. Uncle Arnies, also on our shelf, puts the same 100mg into 8oz and 12oz bottles, which is a very different drinking experience for the same total dose.
With drinks you are paying for the emulsion more than the cannabis.
Cannabis oil does not dissolve in water. Getting it to sit evenly in a liquid, stay there on the shelf, and taste like the flavor on the label rather than like plant matter is the actual manufacturing problem. Brands that solve it charge for it.
What that buys you is a more predictable onset than a baked edible, because a well-emulsified drink is absorbed differently from something you have to digest. It is still slower than inhaling and it still varies with what you have eaten.
The honest limitation of the shot format is that it makes careless dosing easy. Four ounces disappears quickly if you treat it as a drink, and 100mg is a high dose for most people. The bottle is a container for several servings, and that is worth saying plainly rather than leaving on the label.
Three drinks, one size, no other formats.
Energy Blast and Blue Razz are straight THC at 100mg in 4 fl oz. Nighttime Snooze Berries pairs 100mg THC with 20mg CBN, which is a formulation choice rather than a promise about what it will do for you.
All three are non-carbonated, so they pour and mix rather than fizzing. There is no flower, no vape and no gummy under this label at Evergreen.
If you want the same category in a larger, more sippable format, Uncle Arnies runs 100mg in 8oz and 12oz, carbonated and non-carbonated, and Not Your Father’s runs 100mg in 16oz sodas. All on our shelf. Same total dose, spread across a lot more liquid.
Energy Blast and Blue Razz at 100mg THC. Nighttime Snooze Berries at 100mg THC with 20mg CBN. Strain names do not really apply to this category; the formulation is the variable.
Choose by how you intend to drink it, not by flavor.
If you want to sip something over an evening, buy the 16oz format from another brand on our shelf. If you want a small measured pour you can control, the 4oz shot is the right shape and ST IDES is where it sits.
Start low. Whatever the bottle holds, an unfamiliar drink is a 5mg to 10mg starting point for most people, which is a fraction of one of these. Wait a full two hours before taking more. Drinks can take longer than people expect, and the most common bad experience in this category is redosing too early rather than the product itself.
Read the panel and the total milligrams, and check whether you are looking at milligrams per bottle or per serving. Those are different numbers and the difference matters.
Refrigerate after opening and treat it like any other perishable drink.
Shake before pouring, every time. Emulsions separate on a shelf, and an unshaken bottle can give you a weak pour followed by a much stronger one from the same container. That is the single most common reason a drink lands unevenly across two sittings.
Keep it upright, out of direct sunlight, and away from heat. Light and heat degrade cannabinoids in a liquid faster than in flower.
Use a marked measure rather than free-pouring, and keep it away from anywhere it could be mistaken for an ordinary soft drink. A 4oz bottle in a fridge door looks like a mixer.
We are a licensed Proposition 64 retailer on Edinger Avenue in Santa Ana. Every ST IDES bottle here came through licensed California distribution with a lab panel and a batch number.
Drinks are a category where the label is doing a lot of work, so check that the total milligrams, the serving size and the manufacturer are all printed rather than implied. California requires it. A cannabis drink without that information did not come through a licensed channel, and you should not buy it anywhere.
Our prices are out-the-door, so the menu number is what you pay. We open at 6AM, we deliver across Orange County, and the live menu reads from our register rather than a third-party feed, so it will tell you which of the three are actually in the fridge today.
The live menu shows what is physically in the store right now, with out-the-door pricing on every item.
