Sky High Takes Top Honors at LA High Spirits Awards, Earning Multiple Platinum and Gold Medals for Sky Cooler Line
Award-winning hemp-derived THC beverage company recognized for standout innovation and flavor in the rapidly growing ready-to-drink infused cocktail category
DES MOINES, Iowa, May 18, 2026 — Sky High has earned top national recognition at the inaugural High Spirits Awards by L.A. Spirits Awards, taking home multiple Platinum and Gold medals in the highly competitive Ready To Drink Cocktail category. The honors further cement Sky High’s position as a rising leader in the billion-dollar hemp-derived THC beverage space.
The Platinum-winning Fuji Apple Pear delivers crisp orchard fruit notes with a smooth finish, while Platinum-winning Ruby Crush combines bright grapefruit and cranberry flavors into a refreshing, citrus-forward cocktail experience. Peach Moscato earned the Gold for its balanced sweetness and wine-inspired flavor profile.
The High Spirits Awards, launched by L.A. Spirits Awards in 2023, is the first competition dedicated exclusively to infused beverages, spotlighting excellence in cannabis- and hemp-derived drinks.
“These awards are incredibly meaningful because they recognize what matters most to us: creating beverages that genuinely taste great while delivering a clean, balanced experience consumers can trust,” said Corey Coleman, co-founder and CEO of Sky High. “As the infused beverage market continues to evolve, we’re proud to help lead the category with products that are approachable, consistent and crafted for everyday enjoyment.”
Sky High’s Sky Cooler lineup has quickly become known for its fruit-forward flavor profiles, low sugar content and approachable hemp-derived THC formulations designed to offer a social, elevated alternative to alcohol.
The recognition comes amid explosive growth in the ready-to-drink and infused beverage categories, as consumers increasingly seek alcohol alternatives and functional social beverages. The latest honors add to a growing list of accolades for Sky High, which recently earned multiple national and regional awards at the 2025 America’s Best Beverage Awards for several products across its Sky Cooler and Sky Water lines. This marks the second consecutive year Sky High has taken top honors at two of the country’s largest beverage competitions.
