Save Me a Spot Podcast

Not a Mocktail, Not a Cocktail, It's a Hightail

What if happy hour didn’t have to mean alcohol — but it also wasn’t just another mocktail?
This week, We're joined by Anna Baskin, founder of Hightail, a new kind of beverage designed for a modern social ritual. Not a cocktail. Not a mocktail. A Hightail.
With four thoughtfully crafted flavors — three infused with a low, approachable 1.5 mg of THC — Hightail offers a gentle lift without the crash. Made with all-natural, organic ingredients and no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners, it’s a clean, elevated alternative for those looking to sip differently.
Anna shares what inspired her to create Hightail, how she’s carving out a new category in the beverage space, and why mindful socializing is becoming the future of happy hour.
