Meet Asheville Dispensary Kava & Blue Lotus Seltzer 4-Pack – Social Fly, a 12 fl oz canned seltzer for the nights you want to be out and chatty and still wake up feeling like yourself. We stock it for anyone cutting back on alcohol, or skipping it altogether, who’d rather hold something more interesting than sparkling water.
Here’s the thing about most alcohol alternatives: they’re either sugar bombs or they taste like a vitamin. Social Fly is neither. Each can comes in at 25 calories with 6 grams of sugar, a light fizz, and a clean natural-flavor finish you can sip through a whole conversation.
Inside the can you’ll find kava extract, blue lotus extract, and lion’s mane mushroom extract, plus electrolytes and a full day’s worth of vitamin B12. Asheville Dispensary makes it with nano-emulsified extracts, which they say helps the botanicals absorb more readily than a standard infusion would.
Kava has been shared in social settings across the Pacific for centuries, and that’s exactly the lane this drink lives in. Expect a mellow, settled feeling, the kind that takes the edge off a room full of strangers without turning you into a wallflower. Blue lotus brings a soft, dreamy quality of its own. Lion’s mane keeps the whole thing squarely in functional-drink territory.
It’s made in Asheville, NC, right in our own backyard, and honestly that’s a big reason we carry it. We like knowing the people behind what we sell, and Asheville Dispensary has been a trusted partner of ours for a while now. If you’ve been poking around our functional drinks and alcohol alternatives, this four-pack is a good place to land.
Benefits:
Social Fly does one job and does it well: it gives you something to drink that actually does something, minus the hangover tax.

Is CannaBuddy legit?
Yes. We’re a brick-and-mortar hemp dispensary with shops in Charlotte and Matthews, North Carolina, and we’ve shipped orders nationwide since we opened. We only stock products from partners we’ve vetted, and Asheville Dispensary is one of them. Every item on our shelves has to pass the same test: would we drink it, eat it, or smoke it ourselves? If the answer’s no, you won’t see it here.
What is kava, and what does a kava drink feel like?
Kava is a root from the Pacific Islands that’s been prepared as a shared, social drink for generations. The experience is hard to describe until you’ve had it, but most people land on words like “settled,” “loose,” or “easygoing.” Your mind stays clear while your body relaxes, which is why kava bars have popped up as a go-to alternative to happy hour. Kava isn’t a stimulant and it isn’t alcohol, so don’t expect a buzz in the traditional sense. Think of it more as taking a deep breath in a can.
What is blue lotus?
Blue lotus is a water lily that was prized in ancient Egypt and has been enjoyed as a tea and infusion ever since. On its own it has a gentle, dreamy quality that pairs naturally with kava’s mellow character. In Social Fly it’s the supporting player rather than the headliner. It rounds out the kava and gives the whole drink a softer, more floaty feel than kava alone.
How does a kava seltzer compare to a beer or cocktail?
They scratch a similar itch. You’ve got a cold can in your hand and a social ease that makes conversation flow. That’s about where the similarities end, though. There’s no alcohol in Social Fly, so you skip the next-day regret, the empty calories, and the slurred second half of the night. The flip side is that kava and blue lotus are active botanicals, and you will notice them, so treat this can with the same respect you’d give a drink: enjoy it, pay attention to how you feel, and don’t get behind the wheel. If this sounds like your kind of evening, browse the full shop for more alcohol alternatives and functional drinks.
Suggested Use:
- Chill well. Social Fly is at its best ice cold, straight from the fridge or a cooler.
- Open one can and sip it over 20-30 minutes rather than knocking it back.
- Give it time. Kava tends to settle in gradually, so wait and see how you feel before reaching for a second can.
- Keep it simple. This one’s designed to be enjoyed on its own, not mixed with alcohol.
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place and refrigerate before serving. A few things to keep in mind:
- This product can affect concentration, coordination, and judgment. Do not drive or operate machinery while you’re feeling its effects.
- Not for use by anyone under 21.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
