WYNK was founded in 2020 by Casey Parzych, Angus Rittenburg, and Shawn Sheehan, three friends (a beverage manufacturer, mechanical engineer, and energy trader) looking for a new opportunity in the cannabis beverage market. Their challenge: find a way to dose the seltzer with THC legally, as current laws for dispensary distribution require dosing in the states where the drinks will be sold. Today, WYNK is a hemp-derived  1:1 THC:CBD zero-calorie seltzer. WYNK's blend of THC and CBD offers a light and bubbly buzz that is enjoyable any night of the week. WYNK is made with all-natural flavors and comes in Black Cherry Fizz, Lime Twist, Juicy Mango, and newly released Tangerine. WYNK is available online for purchase in 37 states, and sold in retail stores in 12 states at www.drinkwynk.com. Angus joins Justin to discuss this innovative, and fast-growing, beverage brand.
