Gigli Wins Double Gold for Best-Tasting NA Beverage!

Raising a Glass to Recognition: Gigli Makes Waves at the International Non-Alcoholic Competition 

The cannabis beverage world just got a major validation boost. Gigli stepped onto the international stage and made serious waves at the 2025 International Non-Alcoholic Competition. This wasn't just another industry pat on the back. This was recognition from the experts who know what makes a truly exceptional beverage.

Here's what makes this so incredible: Gigli didn't just compete against other THC-infused drinks. They went head-to-head with every type of non-alcoholic beverage imaginable. Sodas, teas, mocktails, functional drinks, non-alcoholic spirits, craft kombuchas. The whole non-alcoholic beverage universe was in the mix.

And Gigli didn't just show up with one winning flavor. They brought their A-game across multiple beverages, earning recognition that spans their entire lineup. The Blood Orange Margarita might have grabbed the spotlight, but it certainly wasn't flying solo. But before we dive into what makes this sweep so special, let's talk about why this competition matters so much.

What is the International Non-Alcoholic Competition?

The International Non-Alcoholic Competition is an annual celebration of the finest non-alcoholic beverages from around the world, with expert judges conducting blind tastings by category and price through a panel of trade buyers.

The competition draws global brands competing across multiple categories. What makes these awards truly meaningful? They're judged by industry experts through blind tastings, which means flavor, craftsmanship, and innovation speak for themselves. No brand bias, no marketing fluff. Just pure taste and quality evaluation.

The judges aren't just casual tasters either. We're talking about importers, distributors, retailers, and mixologists who know the beverage industry inside and out. These are the people deciding what hits store shelves and what gets recommended to consumers.

Why This Matters for Gigli (and the THC Beverage Industry)

Here's the thing about THC-infused beverages: they're still the new kids on the block compared to traditional non-alcoholic drinks. While kombucha and craft sodas have been building their reputations for years, cannabis beverages are just hitting their stride.

Gigli competing against this broader market and earning multiple awards shows real validation. This isn't just about being the best THC beverage in the room. This is about proving that cannabis-infused drinks can stand toe-to-toe with any non-alcoholic beverage on flavor, craftsmanship, and innovation.

This kind of recognition builds something crucial: consumer trust. When someone picks up any Gigli beverage, they're not just choosing a THC drink. They're choosing from an award-winning lineup that impressed industry professionals who taste hundreds of products.

It also reinforces that THC drinks aren't just a passing trend. They're legitimate contenders in the beverage space, offering something unique that traditional drinks simply can't match.

Gigli's Award-Winning Lineup 

And the Winners Are... 

Gigli didn't just win one award. They dominated across multiple categories, proving that outstanding flavor runs through their entire beverage lineup.

Double Gold: Blood Orange Margarita

The crown jewel of Gigli's collection earned the highest honor with its perfect balance of zesty blood orange and classic margarita tartness. This flavor captures that vacation-in-a-glass feeling while delivering the smooth, consistent THC experience that Gigli perfected. The blood orange adds sophistication to the traditional margarita profile, creating something both familiar and refreshingly new.

Silver: Cherry Limeade, Strawberry Spritz, and Raspberry Ginger Mule 

Three silver medals proved that Gigli's flavor innovation spans the spectrum. The Cherry Limeade brings nostalgic summer vibes with a grown-up twist. Strawberry Spritz delivers exotic sophistication that transports you somewhere tropical. The Raspberry Ginger Mule adds refreshing complexity with its perfect balance of fruit and spice.

Bronze: Blueberry Lemonade 

Even Gigli's bronze winner stands out as a summertime classic elevated to new heights. This isn't your average lemonade stand drink. It's a carefully crafted blend that balances sweet blueberry with bright lemon tartness.

What makes this sweep so impressive? Each flavor brings something unique to different moods and occasions. Whether you want nostalgic comfort, exotic adventure, or refreshing complexity, Gigli proved they can deliver exceptional taste across every experience.

Behind the Craft: What Makes Gigli Different 

Gigli didn't earn these awards by accident. Every aspect of their beverage creation focuses on delivering an exceptional experience that goes beyond just getting you buzzed.

The brand starts with natural ingredients, avoiding the artificial flavors and additives that can make THC beverages taste medicinal or overly sweet. Their approach roots itself in real mixology principles, creating flavors that bartenders would be proud to serve.

Then there's the technology. Gigli uses nano-emulsion technology that creates faster onset times and more consistent experiences. No waiting around wondering if it's working. No surprise waves hitting you an hour later. Just predictable, enjoyable effects that complement the social experience.

Most importantly, Gigli balances "the vibe" of THC with approachable, delicious flavors. Their beverages don't taste like cannabis drinks trying to hide their THC content. They taste like premium beverages that happen to include THC as part of a thoughtfully crafted experience.
