Organizers for the High Spirits Awards have announced the winners of the inaugural competition.

Created earlier this year by the L.A. Spirits Awards, the High Spirits Awards is a competition for cannabis-derived beverage products legally sold in California and hemp-derived CBD/alternative cannabinoid beverages from anywhere in the U.S.

Entries were blind tasted, with flavor and balanced cannabinoid integration being the primary judging criteria. Top medal winners competed in a final tasting round judged by both High Spirits Awards judges and select L.A. Spirits Awards judges to determine Best in Show winners in individual beverage categories.

The panel of judges was led by Rachel Burkons, a cannabis consultant, content creator, writer and educator.
