There’s something magical about cracking open a drink and being instantly transported to your childhood. That first taste of tangy Blue Raspberry? It’s reminiscent of summer poolside sips and sticky carnival treats—pure childhood bliss. But what if that nostalgic flavor came with an adult twist? Enter Green Monké Blue Raspberry, the ultimate throwback beverage infused with THC and CBD for a modern, laid-back vibe.
Nostalgia is more than a trend—it’s a feeling, a sense of comfort, and a connection to your past. And in the expanding landscape of nostalgia beverages, brands like Green Monké are leading the charge by blending retro flavors with adult sensibilities. Blue Raspberry isn’t just a flavor; it’s a full-on experience of playful indulgence. Honestly, pop culture from the '80s and '90s never tasted so good, especially with a silly straw in hand
Remember the blue slushies you’d beg your parents for after a long day at the arcade? Or that bright blue lollipop that stained your tongue for hours? Flavor trends like Blue Raspberry originally gained popularity in the '80s and '90s—an era defined by bold colors, sugary treats, and over-the-top fun (shoutout to Lisa Frank and neon windbreakers). Today, those memories are bottled up and brought to life, resonating with Millennials and Gen Z as they seek to (re)connect with simpler times.
According to insights in Beverage Industry’s Ingredient Spotlight, “classic flavors” like strawberry, vanilla, and iconic berry profiles bring a sense of home. But Green Monké isn’t just recalling childhood; it’s redefining it for adults by bridging the gap between nostalgia and modern preferences. Cue low-dosage THC- and CBD-infused creations, perfect for sipping on while reliving Saturday morning cartoons or rewatching “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”
Nostalgic flavors evoke layers of emotion—they’re comforting, familiar, and authentically yours. They remind us of carefree days filled with fun, but they have another important function too. These flavors are:
Jennifer Berndt, Marketing Manager for Cargill, noted in the Beverage Industry article that “brands can go a step further by marrying nostalgic flavors with modern preferences like reduced sugar and natural ingredients.” This is precisely the balancing act Green Monké nails with its THC- and CBD-infused drinks—capturing the magic of retro *while keeping it *refreshingly modern.
Green Monké Blue Raspberry isn’t your average sparkling drink—it’s an alcohol alternative for a new era of enjoyment. What stands out? It offers everything you loved about old-school flavor-packed drinks but with the added chill of THC and CBD.
As Millennials and Gen Z move increasingly toward alcohol alternatives, Green Monké delivers the social experience of a drink—but with none of the next-day regrets.

What better way to toast an “Euphoria” marathon, or celebrate ’90s pop reunions (ahem, Spice Girls rumors)? It’s the drink that pairs perfectly with nostalgia-fueled music playlists and retro Polaroid photoshoots.
Yep, Blue Raspberry is fabricated—but that doesn’t make it any less iconic. Developed to stand out in candy aisles during the 1970s, the flavor's electrifying hue became synonymous with FUN.
From ICEEs to gummies, Blue Raspberry is the original #ThrowbackSnack flavor. Adding cannabis infusion only solidifies its comeback.
