What is a THC variety pack?
A THC variety pack is a bundle of multiple THC drinks at a discount versus buying each item individually. Bundles usually include either a mix of flavors at the same dose (the standard format) or a mix of formats and doses (more advanced). The savings typically run 15–30% off list price, with bigger discounts at higher SKU counts.
The category exists because most THC drink first-timers don't know which flavor they'll like, and a 12-pack of one flavor is a $40–$60 commitment. Variety packs let you try four to six flavors at the same total cost as a single 12-pack.
How to choose a THC variety pack
Five things to check.
- Total dose vs price. Compare price-per-mg across bundles. Premium variety packs run $0.40–$0.80 per mg. Mid-market sits at $0.20–$0.40. LoDo's bundles run roughly $0.20–$0.25 per mg — the cheapest per-mg option for lab-tested hemp-derived Delta-9.
- Number of flavors. Two flavors? That's a sampler, not a real variety pack. Look for at least 4–6 flavors so you can actually "find your favorite."
- Format mix. Some bundles are all-shots, some all-spirits, some mix shots + cans + spirits. Decide what you actually want before buying. If you want to drink at parties, get a multi-format bundle. If you want one go-to format, get an all-format bundle in your preferred dose.
- Dose consistency. Make sure all the items in the bundle are at a dose you're comfortable with. A bundle that mixes 5mg and 55mg products without clear labeling is dangerous if you're not paying attention.
- Lab testing. Every reputable brand publishes Certificates of Analysis (COAs) on every batch. If a bundle is suspiciously cheap and the brand makes you dig for COAs, skip it.
The 2026 ranked list
1. LoDo THC Spirit Variety Pack — Best overall value
Six 750ml bottles of LoDo's hemp-derived THC spirits, one of each flavor (The Well unflavored, Citrus, Sour Watermelon, Hot Shot, Blueberry), with a sixth bottle to round out the pack. 5mg or 10mg per serving across the lineup. Bundle pricing saves $50.74 versus buying the bottles individually.
Pros: Lowest price-per-mg in the spirits category, multi-flavor variety, mixable into cocktails, lab-tested every batch.
Cons: 750ml bottles need refrigeration once opened; not as portable as shots.
Buy: LoDo THC Spirit Variety Pack — $140.20 (save $50.74)
2. LoDo 10mg Shot Variety Pack — Best for shot lovers
Six 12-packs of LoDo's 10mg shots, one 12-pack of each flavor (Tropic Thunder, Lemon Drop, Washington Apple, Hot Shot, Blue Razz, Purple). 72 shots total, 720mg of THC. Save $52.49 versus buying the 12-packs individually.
Pros: Single-serve, fast onset (5–15 minutes), portable, six flavors to find your favorite, big total dose count.
Cons: All 10mg — if you're a sub-10mg drinker, this is a lot of inventory.
Buy: LoDo 10mg Shot Variety Pack — $157.45 (save $52.49)
3. The Ultimate THC Bundle — Biggest haul, best for hosts
The full LoDo lineup in one box: 72 THC Shots (10mg, six flavors), 5 THC Spirit Bottles (full flavor lineup), 16 Cannabis Cooler Cans (10mg, four flavors of non-carbonated iced teas and lemonades), plus a bonus 5mg spirit bottle for lighter pours. Over $420 of product. Save $104.72.
This bundle is for someone who's hosting frequently, building a bar cart from scratch, or just wants the entire LoDo lineup at once. Multi-format, multi-flavor, multi-dose. The single best test of the LoDo brand if you're trying to decide what to stock.
Pros: Every format covered, multi-occasion (shots for fast onset, spirits for cocktails, cans for casual), biggest dollar savings of any bundle.
Cons: $360 cart price — a real commitment if you're new to the brand.
Buy: The Ultimate THC Bundle — $360 (save $104.72)
4. LoDo High-Dose Bundle — For experienced users
16 cans, 640mg total THC, two flavors (Cherry Limeade and Raspberry Tea), split between 25mg and 55mg potencies. For users with established tolerance who want to skip the sub-10mg products entirely. Save $11.68 vs individual cans.
Pros: Highest dose-per-dollar in the LoDo lineup, two flavors, both potency tiers covered.
Cons: Two flavors only (less variety than other bundles); definitely not for new users.
Buy: LoDo High-Dose Bundle — $105.08 (save $11.68)
5. Cann Variety Multi-Pack — Best mainstream seltzer sampler
Cann's classic 2mg/4mg low-dose seltzer in a multi-flavor 8-pack. Smaller dose than LoDo's lineup, but the brand is established and widely available in retail. Best for someone who's never had a THC drink and wants to start at the absolute lowest dose.
Pros: Wide retail availability, premium presentation, very low dose for first-timers.
Cons: Higher price-per-mg than LoDo, doses too low for tolerance-built users.
6. Cycling Frog Sampler — Most accessible
Cycling Frog has been a default entry-point brand for years. Their sampler packs lean toward lower per-serving doses, which makes them friendly for first-timers but limits ceiling for experienced users.
Pros: Beginner-friendly dosing, broad availability, established brand.
Cons: Lower potency than LoDo for similar price point.
7. Nowadays Sampler Box — Best premium gift
If you're buying a THC variety pack as a gift and presentation matters, Nowadays wins on packaging. Their sampler boxes look the part on a coffee table. The drink itself is well-tuned. You'll pay a premium for it.
Pros: Gift-worthy aesthetics, premium positioning, well-tuned dose.
Cons: Highest price-per-mg of the bundles we benchmarked, less product variety per box.
How to pick the right LoDo bundle for you
Quick decision tree.
- Total beginner, want to try without overspending: Buy a single 12-pack of 10mg shots in your favorite flavor, then upgrade to a bundle once you know what you like.
- Want to find your favorite spirit flavor: Spirit Variety Pack.
- Want to find your favorite shot flavor: 10mg Shot Variety Pack.
- Hosting a party or stocking a bar cart from scratch: The Ultimate THC Bundle.
- Daily user with tolerance: High-Dose Bundle.
- Want to try multiple LoDo formats at once: Ultimate THC Bundle wins; otherwise mix-and-match by stacking the Spirit and Shot variety packs.
THC variety pack vs single 12-pack
If you already know your favorite flavor, a single 12-pack will always be the cheapest cart total. Variety packs are about variety — you're paying a slight premium per item versus buying your single favorite in bulk, but you're saving versus buying each variety as its own 12-pack.
The break-even math: a variety pack costs more per ounce than a single 12-pack but less than buying two 12-packs of two different flavors. So if you'd be tempted by two flavors anyway, the variety pack wins.
Are THC variety packs legal?
Yes, in most U.S. states. THC variety packs are legal anywhere hemp-derived Delta-9 THC under 0.3% by dry weight is legal, which is most states under the 2018 Farm Bill. About 15 states have passed restrictions on hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids and we don't ship to those. (For the full breakdown, see our 2026 hemp-derived legality guide.)
Frequently asked questions

A bundle of multiple THC drinks at a discount versus buying each item individually. Variety packs typically include 4 to 6 different flavors of the same product format (shots, spirits, or cans), with savings of 15–30% off list price.
How long does a THC variety pack last?

Are THC variety packs cheaper than buying individually?
Yes. Bundle pricing typically saves 15–30% compared to buying each component separately. LoDo's bundles save between $11 and $105 per bundle off list price.
Can I share a THC variety pack with friends?
Yes — variety packs are designed for sharing. The 750ml spirits especially are multi-serve. Just tell your guests the dose ahead of time so they can decide how much to pour.
Do THC variety packs ship to all states?
No. We ship to most U.S. states where hemp-derived Delta-9 THC products under 0.3% are legal. About 15 states have passed restrictions and we don't ship there. Your zip code is checked at checkout.
What's the best THC variety pack for beginners?
If you've never had a THC drink before, start with a single 12-pack of 10mg shots in one flavor before committing to a variety pack. Once you know what works, the LoDo Shot Variety Pack lets you try 6 flavors. If you want to start lower than 10mg, look for 5mg-per-serving variety packs or split a 5mg shot in half.
Are bundle products fresh?
Every LoDo bundle ships with current-batch product. The bundle SKU isn't a clearance container — it's the same fresh inventory we ship for individual orders, just bundled at a discount.
