LEXINGTON, Ky. — Cannabuzz, Kentucky's premier THC-infused beverage brand, announced today that Champagne Blush, its sparkling, alcohol-free ready-to-drink beverage inspired by the crisp elegance of rosé champagne, is now available at thirteen liquor stores across Kentucky, with additional locations set to carry the flavor in coming weeks.

The retail rollout began at Manchester Liquor in Lexington, located near Cannabuzz Bar & Dispensary at 938 Manchester Street in the city's Distillery District. The flavor has since expanded to twelve additional liquor stores stretching from Northern Kentucky to the western part of the state, including locations in Bellevue, Cadiz, Florence, Frankfort, Franklin and Shelbyville.

"Champagne Blush has resonated with customers since day one, and we're excited to make it easier than ever for people across Kentucky to find it on shelves," said Cannabuzz Founder Annie Rouse. "We're just getting started—more retail partners will be added in the weeks ahead."

Rouse, a hemp researcher and Lexington native, founded Cannabuzz in 2023 as what she calls a "micro-cannabuzzery." With delicate notes of rose plum and berry, Champagne Blush channels the sophistication of a champagne flute in a sleek can. The retail formulation contains 5 milligrams of THC and 5 milligrams of CBG, the maximum allowed under Kentucky law. A low-dose formulation is available at the dispensary itself.

Champagne Blush is gluten-free, vegan, low in sugar and contains no alcohol. It joins two other Cannabuzz ready-to-drink offerings: Lemon Haze Tea and Pineapple Express Punch. Kentucky's Senate Bill 202, which took effect this year, restricts sales to no more than five milligrams of intoxicating cannabinoids per twelve-ounce serving and limits retail sales to liquor stores.

Since its launch in 2023, Cannabuzz has been a pioneering force in Kentucky's emerging hemp beverage market. In October 2025, Cannabuzz became the first THC brand to join the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America, marking a milestone in bringing hemp-derived beverages into mainstream distribution channels. Rouse continues to advocate for responsible industry standards and has spoken publicly about the regulatory challenges facing the sector as the state refines its approach to cannabis-infused products.
