A beverage enhancer is the smallest format in the drink category and the least understood. It is not a seltzer, and it is not a tincture. It is a concentrated, water-soluble cannabinoid formula you add to a drink you already have in the fridge.
This page covers what the format actually is, what "nano" does and does not promise, exactly how many milligrams are in each bottle we sell, what a serving costs, and how to dose without overdoing it. Every number below comes from the product data on this site, not from an estimate.
What a beverage enhancer actually is
A standard oil tincture is oil. Drop it into cold seltzer and it beads on the surface, sticks to the glass, and lands unevenly. That is not a quality problem, it is chemistry: cannabinoids are oil-loving, and cold water will not dissolve them.
A beverage enhancer solves that by emulsifying the cannabinoid into water first. The result is a concentrate that disperses through a drink instead of floating on it. You stir it in, the drink stays clear or close to it, and the dose is distributed across the glass rather than sitting in one sip.
How it differs from the other three formats
| Format | How you dose | Typical onset | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beverage enhancer | Measure into any drink you have | Faster than a standard edible | Control and cost per serving |
| THC seltzer | Fixed dose per can | Faster than a standard edible | Zero effort, predictable |
| Gummy | Fixed dose per piece | Slower, food-dependent | Long duration |
| Oil tincture | Under the tongue | Slower, held in the mouth | Existing tincture routines |
The honest tradeoff: an enhancer costs the least per serving and gives you the finest control, but it requires you to measure and to own the drink. A seltzer costs more and removes all decisions.
What "nano" means, and what it does not
In a nanoemulsion, the cannabinoid oil is broken into very small droplets and stabilized in water. Smaller droplets disperse more evenly through a liquid, and a formulation that disperses evenly can behave differently from one that does not.
That is the mechanism. It is not a promise.
Nano does not mean instant, does not mean every person responds identically, and does not mean a 5mg serving behaves like a 20mg serving. Food in your stomach, body chemistry, tolerance, the rest of the drink, and how fast you consume it all still matter. Anyone telling you nano means the dose hits in five minutes flat is selling, not explaining.
Why our syrup says "shake it first, every time"
Emulsions separate. Even a well built one will drift when it sits. If you pour from an unshaken bottle, early servings run light and later ones run heavy. Shaking takes two seconds and is the difference between a consistent bottle and a lottery.
Every bottle we sell, with the real numbers

These are the four concentrates on the site. Note that two of them are CBD and HHC rather than Delta-9 THC, and one is a Delta-9 product built to stay inside the federal limit per serving.
| Product | Cannabinoid | Total per bottle | Servings | Price | Cost per serving |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nano D9 THC Simple Syrup | Delta-9 THC, unflavored | 80mg per 2 fl oz | About 11 teaspoons | $14.99 | About $1.28 per teaspoon |
| Max Compliance D9 Enhancer | Delta-9 THC | 150mg | 30 squirts | $40.00 | $1.33 |
| CBD Beverage Enhancer | CBD, water-soluble | 600mg | 30 servings at 20mg | $33.69 | $1.12 |
| HHC Beverage Enhancer | HHC, water-soluble | 600mg | See package for per-squirt dose | $46.81 | Depends on serving |
Two of these bottles deliberately do not state a per-serving figure here, because the packaging does not state one consistently enough to repeat. Check the label on the bottle in your hand before you dose. We would rather leave a cell vague than print a number the package does not support.
The math on the syrup, since it is the fiddliest
One 2 fl oz bottle holds 80mg, which works out to roughly 1.35mg per ml. A teaspoon is about 5ml, so a teaspoon is roughly 6.8mg. Half a teaspoon is roughly 3.4mg. That granularity is the entire point of the format.
How to dose a drink without ruining your evening
| You want | Syrup dose | Max Compliance squirts | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| A light, social lift | Half teaspoon, about 3.4mg | 1 squirt, 5mg | Mild, conversational, easy |
| A standard single serving | 1 teaspoon, about 6.8mg | 2 squirts, 10mg | The mainstream drink experience |
| A stronger evening | 2 teaspoons, about 13.6mg | 3 squirts, 15mg | Noticeably heavier, best at home |
If you have never used a THC drink, start at the top row. One light serving, then wait a full hour before deciding you want more. The single most common bad night in this category comes from topping up at 20 minutes, when nothing has happened yet.
Five things that go wrong
- Pouring into a can already open, then not stirring. The dose settles at the bottom.
- Forgetting to shake the bottle, which makes the first drink weak and the last one hot.
- Adding to a hot drink without thinking it through. Heat and dilution both change how a concentrated emulsion behaves in the glass.
- Treating a squirt like a splash. The Max Compliance bottle is 5mg per squirt, and three careless squirts is a strong serving.
- Drinking on an empty stomach and expecting the same timeline you had after dinner.
Enhancer or seltzer, in money terms
This is where the enhancer wins clearly, and it is worth being blunt about it.
| Option | Price | Dose per unit | Cost per typical serving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Max Compliance enhancer | $40.00 | 5mg per squirt | $1.33 |
| CBD enhancer | $33.69 | 20mg CBD per serving | $1.12 |
| Seltzer, single can | $7.50 | 5mg or 10mg | $7.50 |
| Seltzer, 4-pack | $19.99 | 5mg or 10mg per can | $5.00 |
| Seltzer, 24-pack | $87.00 | 5mg or 10mg per can | $3.63 |
A seltzer is a finished product with carbonation, flavor and packaging built in. An enhancer is the cannabinoid alone. If you want a specific drink, or you want to control the dose to the milligram, the enhancer is cheaper per milligram by a wide margin. If you want to open a can and stop thinking, buy the can.
Which bottle to pick
| If you want | Buy |
|---|---|
| Fine control over a Delta-9 dose, unflavored | Nano D9 Simple Syrup, $14.99 |
| Delta-9 in measured squirts, 5mg each | Max Compliance D9, $40.00 |
| CBD with no THC in your drink | CBD Beverage Enhancer, $33.69 |
| A different cannabinoid for social evenings | HHC Beverage Enhancer, $46.81 |
| Zero measuring, fixed dose, ready to drink | Any Moon Ranger seltzer |
If you are deciding between the two formats at a category level, the comparison piece on seltzers versus beverage enhancers goes deeper on that decision. If you are unsure how a drink compares to an edible, start with drink versus edible. And if dosing is the whole question, the 10mg seltzer breakdown walks through what 10mg actually feels like.
Three ways to use an enhancer without a cocktail shaker
You do not need a recipe to get value out of a bottle. These are the three patterns that cover most of the use we see.
The doctored seltzer
Start with a plain or lightly flavored seltzer, add half a teaspoon of the syrup, stir gently, and you have a 3.4mg drink at roughly $8 plus a fraction of a cent per serving. This is the cheapest way to have a low-dose drink in the house, and it is the one to try if you like the idea of a seltzer but find 10mg more than you want.
The evening iced tea
The unflavored syrup disappears into iced tea, lemonade, or a citrus soda. Stir it into the glass first, then add ice, then pour the liquid. Adding it on top of ice means it pools in the cold and mixes unevenly.
The 5mg squirt
The Max Compliance bottle is built for people who do not want to measure. One squirt is 5mg, which is a genuine single serving rather than a token dose. Squirt, stir, wait an hour. That sequence is the whole method.
A word on carbonation
Emulsions and aggressive carbonation fight each other. If you are adding to something fizzy, pour the drink first, add the enhancer, then stir slowly rather than shaking the glass. You will keep more of the bubbles and get a more even dose.
What to do with the bottle between drinks
Cap it, keep it upright, keep it out of the sun, and do not store it in a hot car. Heat is the enemy of an emulsion, not cold. Before every single pour, shake it until the liquid looks uniform again. If it will not recombine after a thorough shake, that bottle has been through something and is worth replacing rather than pouring and hoping.
Frequently asked questions
What is a nano beverage enhancer?
A water-soluble cannabinoid concentrate made to be stirred into a drink. The cannabinoid is emulsified so it disperses through liquid instead of floating on top.
How many mg is a teaspoon of nano syrup?
About 6.8mg. The bottle is 80mg per 2 fl oz, which is roughly 1.35mg per ml, so 5ml is about 6.8mg.
Does nano mean it hits instantly?
No. It is typically faster than a standard edible, but not instant. Give it an hour before you decide to take more.
Can I put an enhancer in beer or wine?
We do not recommend mixing THC with alcohol. If you want a drink ritual without alcohol, our seltzers and the drinks hub are built for exactly that.
Is the CBD enhancer intoxicating?
It is CBD, not THC. It is not designed as an intoxicating product, and the serving is 20mg CBD per drink.
How long does an open bottle last?
Store it sealed, upright, and out of heat and sunlight, and shake before every use. If a bottle has been sitting for months and looks separated, shake it thoroughly and check that it recombines before you pour.
