Ordering one flavor of anything for an entire month is a rookie move — ask anyone who bought 24 cans of a seltzer they'd tasted exactly once. The fix is a mixed case: a deliberate split of flavors and doses that matches the week you actually live, not the week you imagine. Here's the formula we'd use if we were filling your cart for you.
The Formula, in One Paragraph
Build around your real week. Most of your case should be daily drivers — 2.5mg seltzers you can open on a random Tuesday without planning your evening around them. Add a few cocktail-style cans for weekend nights, dosed to your tolerance (2.5mg if you're new, 5–10mg if you know your number). Reserve a couple of slots for a zero-sugar option, because at least one night a week you'll want the lift without the cane sugar. That's it: roughly two-thirds everyday, one-third occasion. You can build a case from the full Floral lineup on our shop — full cases, variety packs, and everything in between ship straight to your door where available.
Everything below is just that paragraph with the details filled in.
Step One: Pick Your Daily Drivers (the 2.5mg Base)
The base of a good mixed case is the can you'll reach for most often — which means low dose, familiar format, and a flavor you'd drink even without the THC. For Floral, that's the seltzer lineup: every can is 2.5mg of hemp-derived Delta-9, made with real fruit, with the batch's lab results published so you can check the number on the label against the number in the report.
Your seltzer options, in plain terms:
- Tropical — our most-ordered single seltzer flavor, and the safest crowd-pleaser in the lineup. If you're unsure, start here.
- Strawberry Mango — the sweeter, sunnier pick; the one people describe as "dangerously easy to drink."
- Key Lime — tart and clean, the closest thing we make to a classic lime seltzer with a lift.
- Harvest Apple — a fan favorite that sold out; it's returning soon, so leave it out of this order and grab it next round.
How many daily-driver slots you fill depends on your pace. If a THC seltzer is your two-or-three-nights-a-week drink, eight of twelve cans (or sixteen of twenty-four) is the right base. If you're still deciding whether this category is for you at all, our THC seltzer buyer's guide covers what separates a good can from a pretty label.
Step Two: Add the Weekend Cans
Cocktail-style cans are the occasion half of the case — the Friday-night pour, the Saturday porch drink, the can you hand a guest who wants something that feels like a real drink. Floral's cocktail lineup runs from 2.5mg to 10mg, so this is where you dose to your tolerance rather than to habit:
If you're new or low-dose by preference: 2.5mg
The 2.5mg Margarita (which also carries 5mg CBD) keeps the weekend cans at the same weight as your seltzers — same evening, fancier glass.
If you know your number: 5mg or 10mg
The Margarita comes in 5mg and 10mg versions — the 10mg Margarita is our top cocktail overall. The 10mg Modern Mule and 10mg Mojito Zero round out the full-strength shelf in the cocktail collection.
The zero-sugar slots
Every case deserves two or four cans with nothing sweet on the label. The Margarita Zero (2.5mg), Modern Mule Zero (2.5mg), and Mojito Zero (10mg) all skip the cane sugar entirely — and the zero-sugar line has a loyal following for a reason.
A quick word on restraint: resist the urge to fill half the case with 10mg cans because they sound like the main event. The 10mg cocktails are excellent at what they do, but they're a commitment — a whole-evening can, not a Tuesday can. Most people who've been drinking THC beverages for a while settle into a pattern where the strong cans are maybe a quarter of the fridge, opened deliberately rather than by default. Buy for the week you actually have, and let the reorder correct whatever you got wrong.
One planning note: the cane-sugar cocktails drink like actual cocktails, which makes them natural dinner companions. If you're building a case with hosting in mind, our THC food pairing guide is worth ten minutes before you commit your slots.
Three Starter Cases You Can Copy
If you'd rather not do math, steal one of these. Each uses only cans we actually make, and each follows the two-thirds-everyday rule.
The First-Timer — 12 cans, everything at 2.5mg
4 Tropical seltzers · 4 Strawberry Mango seltzers · 2 Key Lime seltzers · 2 Margaritas at 2.5mg. One dose across the whole case, so every can is a fair test of flavor rather than a tolerance experiment. Drink one, wait, learn your number.
The Host — 24 cans, something for every guest
12 mixed seltzers (Tropical, Strawberry Mango, Key Lime) as the open-the-cooler default · 6 Margaritas split between 5mg and 10mg for guests who know what they like · 6 zero-sugar cans (Margarita Zero and Modern Mule Zero at 2.5mg) for the "nothing sweet, nothing strong" contingent. Everyone finds their can; nobody has to ask what's in it — the dose is printed right there.
The Low-and-Slow — 12 cans, low dose and low sugar
6 seltzers in your two favorite flavors · 3 Margarita Zeros at 2.5mg · 3 Modern Mule Zeros at 2.5mg. Every can in the case sits at 2.5mg, and half the case is zero sugar. The whole order is built for weeknights — no can requires clearing your calendar.
Splitting 12 vs. 24: Which Size to Order
The honest answer is that the case size should match how much certainty you've earned:
- First order? Go 12, or start with the 12-can seltzer variety pack — it's our best seller overall by a wide margin, precisely because it answers the flavor question before you commit a bigger order to one can. There's a cocktail variety pack that does the same job for the margarita-and-mule side of the menu.
- Second order? This is where the mixed 24 earns its keep. You know your two favorite flavors and your dose; a 24-can split lets you stock the fridge for a month instead of restocking every ten days, and the per-can economics get friendlier as the order gets bigger.
- Hosting something? Count your guests, assume one to two cans each, and round up to the nearest case. Leftover cans are shelf-stable; leftover guests are not your problem.
Either way, one-time orders are the default — no membership required. If a case keeps disappearing on schedule, a subscribe-and-save option exists for when the reorder becomes a routine rather than a decision.
Mixed Case FAQ
Can I actually mix flavors and doses in one order?
Yes — that's the point of shopping the full lineup. Full cases, variety packs, and mixed builds all ship together, so a single order can cover your weeknight seltzers and your weekend margaritas.
Which build should I start with?
If you've never had a THC drink, copy The First-Timer above — one low dose across the whole case removes every variable except flavor. Upgrade to mixed doses on order two.
Does Floral ship to my state?
Hemp-derived Delta-9 rules vary by state. Check our state-by-state legality hub for the landscape, and check availability for your address at checkout.
How do I know the dose on the can is real?
Every Floral batch publishes a third-party COA — the lab report that verifies the milligrams on the label. We grow in Hartford City, Indiana, produce in Gas City, and separate the THC naturally by chromatography rather than synthetic conversion, so the paper trail runs from field to can.
The Bottom Line
A perfect mixed case isn't a flavor lottery — it's a small piece of planning that makes the fridge match your week. Two-thirds daily drivers at 2.5mg, a handful of weekend cocktails at your number, a couple of zero-sugar slots, and a case size that matches how sure you are. Build it once, adjust it on the reorder, and you'll never again stare at 20 remaining cans of a flavor you didn't love.
