As a budtender at Stoops NYC, I’ve been able to try every Ayrloom drink on our selves and give customers my honest reviews. These are my favorite cannabis-infused drinks right now.
I’m biased toward the lemonade flavor because I just love a refreshing lemonade on a hot day. But having tried every flavor, I’ve been able to tell customers what I like about each one to help them find a flavor that matches their taste buds.
Here’s my take on every Ayrloom drink we have at Stoops and the feedback I hear from customers.
My Recommendations – Which Ones to Try First

| Daytime creativity & energy | Lemonade UP | Bright lemon flavor with an uplifting, clear-headed buzz that boosts focus and mood. |
| Tropical escape & happy vibes | Pineapple Mango | Juicy, tropical sweetness that brings vacation energy. |

The Ayrloom Lineup
Every Ayrloom drink has its own vibe. Some are light and refreshing, others hit with a little more body warmth or creative energy.
Here’s what you can expect from each.
Root Beer
This one takes me straight back to childhood summers. It tastes just like a creamy root beer float with hints of vanilla, caramel, and a earthy sassafras note that makes it feel nostalgic.
It’s a little sweeter than some of the other flavors. I actually love pouring it over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an infused-dessert drink.
The effects come on in about 45 minutes in. You’ll start feeling a warm body buzz that makes you want to sink into the couch and throw on a good movie.
Customers always tell me it’s their go-to “nightcap” or “dessert replacement.” It’s definitely one of the most fun flavors to share when you want something classic with a twist.
Customer review: “I don’t usually like root beer but this was pretty good”.
Black Cherry
If you like something crisp and balanced, the Black Cherry is a solid choice. It’s got a light fizz, a little tartness, and just enough sweetness to keep it refreshing without being heavy. Think sparkling cherry soda — but cleaner, smoother, and without any of that cannabis aftertaste.
I usually describe the effects as a light, happy calm. It doesn’t hit hard; instead, it gently takes the edge off and leaves you feeling relaxed but alert.
This one’s perfect for daytime sipping or when you’re hanging with friends and want something chill that won’t throw off your focus.
A lot of customers tell me, “It gives them calm energy.” It’s easily one of my top recommendations for anyone trying Ayrloom for the first time.
Black Cherry UP
Now, if you like the regular Black Cherry but want a little more kick, the UP version is where it’s at. Same great cherry flavor — bright, tangy, and clean — but the extra THC gives you a stronger, more noticeable high.
Within 30–60 minutes, I usually feel a nice lift in mood followed by this mellow, relaxed energy that makes everything feel a little more enjoyable. It’s not overwhelming, just more pronounced than the 1:1 version.
