Hi-Snaps started with a pretty simple realization: you can stop drinking alcohol without wanting to stop having a drink.

Best friends Samantha Lim and Allison Parc had both stepped away from alcohol, but still loved everything that came with the ritual of drinking. Having something fun in your hand, making a drink before dinner, ordering something special when you’re out, and sharing that little shift in energy with the people around you. What they missed wasn’t necessarily alcohol. It was the experience around it.

They also discovered that they loved the gentle, euphoric lift of low-dose THC and started wondering why there wasn’t an easier way to bring that feeling into whatever they already wanted to drink. So in December 2025, they launched Hi-Snaps.

Hi-Snaps is a pocket-sized drink booster containing 5mg THC + 5mg CBD that can be snapped, squeezed, and added to whatever you’re already sipping, from sparkling water or Diet Coke to your favorite mocktail. It has zero sugar and zero calories, and because it’s portable, the drink itself is entirely up to you.

The business is self-funded, female-founded, and built around the idea that having fun and feeling good the next morning do not have to be mutually exclusive. Samantha and Allison take what they’re making seriously, but, in their words, take themselves “considerably less so.”

We can get behind that.
