About Spritzer
Spritzer was created by crossing Grape Pie with MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies). The combination produces medium to large buds with a classic MAC structure — dense, round, and covered in trichomes with a distinct foxtailing pattern. The aroma is a bright blend of sweet grape candy from the Grape Pie parent and creamy, gassy, funky notes from MAC, with hints of earth and spice. The flavor follows the aroma with a sweet grape soda taste on the inhale and a creamy gas finish on the exhale. Effects are evenly balanced: an uplifting cerebral euphoria paired with a comfortable body relaxation that works for day or evening use. Spritzer gained national recognition as one of Leafly's Best Strains of Spring 2025.

The Story & Lineage Origin
Spritzer emerged from the California breeding scene as part of the wave of Grape Pie and MAC crosses that defined the early 2020s. The strain gained national attention when Leafly Senior Editor David Downs featured it in the Best Cannabis Strains of Spring 2025 list.
Spritzer's combination of MAC's distinctive bud structure and potency with Grape Pie's candy-sweet terpene profile made it a standout in a competitive market. The strain's balanced effects and unique grape-cream flavor profile made it popular across both flower and concentrate formats.
