2026 BLAZED BEVERAGE OF THE YEAR
With products ranging from approachable 10mg beverages to triple-digit THC offerings, Blazed divided the competition into two divisions so products could be judged against beverages designed for a similar consumer.
The result: six award-winning beverages and two first-place champions.
25MG & UNDER: WYATT’S PURP TAKES FIRST
In the low-dose division, Wyatt’s Purp Strawberry captured First Place with its 10mg THC cannabis-infused seltzer. The bright strawberry flavor and easy-drinking format put Wyatt’s Purp at the top of a category built around lower-dose beverages.
Moon Ranger Zero Gravity Full Effect Blueberry Lemonade, also at 10mg THC, earned Second Place. Its combination of blueberry and lemonade gave the category a completely different flavor profile.
Taking Third Place was Modern Herb Co. Cherry Vanilla Cola, a 10mg THC craft soda combining the familiar character of cola with cherry and vanilla.
Together, the three winners demonstrate how much variety now exists in the lower-dose beverage market—from sparkling seltzers to fruit-forward drinks and traditional craft sodas.
HIGH-POTENCY: UNCLE SKUNK’S WINS THE CROWN
The high-potency division brought a very different group of contenders.
Uncle Skunk’s Grape earned First Place with its 100mg THC cannabis-infused, non-alcoholic beverage. The grape-flavored entry claimed the top position in a category aimed at consumers looking for substantially higher potency.
Chronic Harvest Half Tea / Half Lemonade finished Second Place. The 150mg THC beverage brings the familiar combination of tea and lemonade into a much stronger cannabis-infused format.
Zour Pop Strawberry Punch, a 100mg THC beverage, rounded out the podium in Third Place, adding another fruit-forward option to the high-potency winners.
A BEVERAGE CATEGORY THAT KEEPS GROWING
What stands out in the 2026 results isn’t simply potency. It’s choice.
Consumers now have cannabis beverages ranging from 10mg seltzers designed for a lighter experience to 100mg-and-above products created for a very different segment of the market. The flavors are expanding just as quickly: strawberry, blueberry lemonade, cherry vanilla cola, grape, tea and lemonade, and strawberry punch all reached the winners’ podium this year.
That diversity is precisely why Blazed Magazine separated the competition into two divisions. A 10mg beverage and a 100mg beverage serve very different consumers, and each deserves to be evaluated in the appropriate field.
Congratulations to Wyatt’s Purp and Uncle Skunk’s, the two First Place champions, and to all six brands earning a spot among the 2026 Blazed Magazine Beverage of the Year winners.
