Initial Thoughts
The name Spritzer might make you think of wine moms sipping bubbly cocktails at brunch, or perhaps someone raising their pinky a little too high while enjoying their drink—but don’t let that fool you. This strain, cultivated by District Cannabis, is a balanced hybrid that delivers a sophisticated yet functional high, making it far more than just a fancy-sounding indulgence.
Available at Chocolate City Wellness, one of DC’s newest medical dispensaries (that has operated since the inception of the i-71 gifting scene), Spritzer brings a mix of fruity sweetness, gassy funk, and just a hint of spice, making it a delightful treat for those looking for a flavorful and uplifting experience.
Appearance
Spritzer doesn’t just sound elegant—it looks the part, too. The oversized, spade-shaped nugs are bright neon green, with thin, fiery orange hairs weaving throughout. The golden amber trichomes create a frosted shimmer, giving each bud a glistening, sugar-dusted effect. The supple structure makes it easy to break apart, ensuring that every grind releases a burst of zesty aroma and sticky resin.
Status
Curing.
Aroma
The first whiff out of the jar immediately lets you know this isn’t your average hybrid. Sweet and fruity notes of cherry and berry take the lead, creating an almost candy-like fragrance. But before you think this is all sugar and no spice, the earthy undertones and sharp black pepper kick in, bringing depth and complexity to the nose. Once the bud starts burning, savory gas notes join the mix, balancing out the sweetness with a bold, pungent finish.
Flavor
If Spritzer's aroma is a fine cocktail, then the flavor is the first sip—smooth, bold, and full of character. The cherry-berry notes come through right away, followed by a wave of fresh florals. On the exhale, black pepper and a gassy punch give it a spicy, savory finish, leaving a rich and lasting impression on the palate.
Much like a well-crafted spritzer, this strain has layers of flavor that keep evolving—one moment, it’s sweet and fruity, the next, it’s bold and earthy, making every hit a refreshing surprise.
Lineage
Spritzer is the result of a carefully selected cross between:
Runtz
(Grape Pie x Miracle Alien Cookies)
This genetic combination blends sweet, fruity flavors with gassy funk and spicy depth, while the hybrid balance ensures a high that is both uplifting and relaxing.
Effects
Spritzer delivers an experience perfect for the late afternoon—when you need to stay engaged but don’t want to be wired.
Mental Effects: A wave of euphoria comes on quickly, lifting the mood and sparking creative thought. It’s the kind of high that makes you want to talk, making it great for social situations or deep conversations with friends.
Physical Effects: There’s just enough body relaxation to take the edge off stress and tension, but not so much that you feel glued to the couch. You’ll still have energy to move around, making this a solid choice for an easygoing afternoon.
Functional Balance: The high keeps you active without feeling anxious, letting you check things off your to-do list while still feeling relaxed and in the zone.
With THC levels ranging from 19-23% and CBD content between 1-2%, this strain offers a balanced, full-bodied experience that’s as enjoyable as it is effective.
Conclusion
Spritzer is far from a basic brunch-time beverage—this versatile hybrid packs a flavorful punch, delivers an uplifting yet calming high, and keeps you feeling engaged and relaxed without overdoing it.
With fruity sweetness, gassy funk, and a spicy kick, District Cannabis has cultivated a strain that feels refined but still packs an edge—kind of like if your favorite wine spritzer had a little extra attitude.
For those looking to unwind without shutting down, Spritzer is a go-to option—and Chocolate City Wellness is now serving it up fresh in Washington, DC.
