World’s Best Infused Spirits According to the 2026 High Spirits Awards

By Mike Gorman, The Best Drink Ever Presented by L.A. Spirits Awards Published June 07, 2026 These Infused Beverages Cut Through the Noise. Here’s What Made the List. The infused beverage category is growing fast. Faster than consumers and retailers can keep up with. Every month brings another wave of THC seltzers, infused cocktails, cannabis sodas, spirit alternatives, and functional drinks all promising a better buzz, cleaner experience, or smarter way to unwind. Some deliver. A lot don’t. That’s where blind judging matters. At the High Spirits Awards, products are evaluated without branding, packaging, marketing copy, or hype entering the equation. Our judges — including beverage buyers, bartenders, operators, educators, and industry professionals — focus on what actually matters: balance, flavor, aroma, structure, drinkability, and overall execution. No marketing. No politics. Just what’s in the glass…or can. This year’s High Spirits Awards showed how quickly this category is evolv

Issues with logistics caused some others to be delayed, but here they are now.It seems to be fairly modest selection for this bottler. They're all young or middle-aged whiskies - the older releases were in the previous review.&nbsp;

Why Friuli Sets the Bar with Pinot Grigio - A Tasting Note on Ca' del Sarto
