Crank Cleans Up at the 2025 America’s Best THC Beverage Awards!
Crank Cannabis Co. just brought home four national medals at the 2025 America’s Best Hemp THC Beverage Awards: the kind of real-deal recognition that doesn’t come from hashtags or hype. It comes from flavor, balance, and bold execution.
Here’s How Crank Stacked Up:
🥇 Salted Caramel Cold Brew — National Gold + Double Gold (Midwest)
🥈 Moscow Mule — National Silver + Gold (Midwest)
🥉 Cotton Candy Lemonade — National Bronze + Silver (Midwest)
🥉 Bomb Pop — National Bronze + Silver (Midwest)
Judged by REAL People Who Know What They’re Doing
This wasn’t some popularity contest or influencer-run clickbait. The America’s Best competition is built around integrity: blind tastings, zero brand bias, and a lineup of seasoned palates judging your drink with no context except what’s in the can.
Held in Charleston, SC, this year’s judging panel included names like:
- Mike van Beyrer of Bottles Superstore
- Jamie Bolt of The Gin Joint
- The Cocktail Bandits
- Experts from Daps Beverage Co., Brindiamo Group, and more
These are folks who live and breathe beverages: retail, bar, distribution, formulation. They’ve tasted it all. And still, they chose Crank.
The Bigger Picture
We submitted just four of our seven flavors. Every single one is placed at the national level, with regional golds and silvers to match. That’s not just a good stat, it’s a full-on flex.
It tells us (and tells the market) that what we’re doing here works.
No gimmicks. No watered-down formulas. Just high-performance THC drinks with bold flavor, dialed-in dosing, and only the right ingredients.
Salted Caramel Cold Brew took Double Gold in the Midwest for a reason. Moscow Mule delivered the spice-kissed kick that landed it Silver nationally. Cotton Candy Lemonade and Bomb Pop? They’re not just fun: they’re finely tuned flavor machines, and our team still believes all of our flavors are the best in the nation!
