The THC-Infused Cocktails, Seltzers, Teas, Chocolates and Gummies Dominating the Category with Over 3.5 Million Cans Sold and Counting

No Alcohol. No Hangovers. Just Giggles

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (July 17, 2025) -- Redefining what it means to crack open an ice-cold can in the name of good times, Gigli is a non-alcoholic wellness-inspired THC-infused lineup of canned cocktails, seltzers, teas, chocolates and gummies available through Gigli’s website to ship nationwide. Gigli’s launch in 2023 saw instant popularity as the market thirsted for a well-crafted, lower-dose drink with health, wellness and incredible taste at the heart of a THC-infused beverage. In just under two years on the market, America has enjoyed over 3.5 million cans of Gigli and counting. The delicious lineup of seltzers, cocktails and teas are currently sold and served in 20 states, and the brand is rapidly expanding into new markets across the US. Gigli also offers direct shipping via their website on their full range of products.

Gigli balances flavor with function, bringing health and wellness to the forefront by infusing powerful superfood extracts and adaptogens like Ashwagandha and Ginseng to deliver exceptional taste with added wellness benefits into each sip. A calorie-conscious, low-sugar and all natural experience, Gigli is the go-to choice for those seeking a controlled social buzz without alcohol or heavy edibles, made with hemp-derived Delta9-THC available in both 5mg and 10 mg per 12oz can. Effects may include relaxation, creativity, giggly vibes, and good times all without alcohol hangover. Also at the forefront of every can of Gigli: taste. The brand offers a variety of flavors and varietals - each gluten-free, vegan and under 100 calories - made with natural juices and wholesome ingredients to give everyone a chance to “get gigli” ranging from their canned cocktail line featuring fan-favorites Blueberry Lemonade, Blood Orange Margarita, Raspberry Ginger Mule, Cherry Limeade, Strawberry Spritz and Pineapple mojito to a delicious low-sugar tea available in Iced Tea Lemonade and Raspberry as well as a zero-calorie seltzer lineup of Mango and Citrus. The brand also offers a lineup of flavor-forward gummies and chocolates. 

Fueled by passion, creativity and a mission to bring joy to every sip and bite, Gigli was founded by Minnesota entrepreneur Kam Talebi to celebrate wellness, happiness and living life vibrantly. 

Kam Talebi is a tech entrepreneur turned hospitality innovator who has built a reputation for identifying high-growth opportunities and assembling the right ingredients for sustainable success. After earning his master’s degree from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, Kam became CFO at Prometric before launching and selling two tech ventures: iCommunicate to Microsoft and Network Remarketing to Cox Enterprises. This pattern of seizing opportunity in evolving verticals has defined his career.

In 2007, Kam pivoted into hospitality and co-founded CRAVE, an upscale casual concept known for its vibrant atmosphere, trend-forward menu, and commitment to freshness and sustainability. Over time, he scaled Kaskaid Hospitality into a portfolio of more than 25 restaurant and entertainment concepts across the Midwest, including CRAVE, Brit’s Pub, Union Restaurant, Butcher’s Tale and Boketto Steakhouses. Kam leads with a belief that success is not just about revenue; it is about creating happiness inside the organization, empowering teams, and delivering standout guest experiences.

Today, Kam continues to push into new consumer spaces with ventures like Gigli, a THC-infused beverage brand with over 3.5 million cans sold, and NULEEV, a Minnesota-grown hemp wellness line. His leadership philosophy is rooted in listening to his customers, building great teams, trusting instincts, and staying attuned to where culture, innovation, and business intersect.

Gigli is currently available online and at over 3,500 retail stores and 500 restaurants and bars across the country and growing with hundreds of new retailers and restaurants being added regularly. The brand offers nationwide shipping, including subscribe and save options, and free shipping on orders over $75. As the brand continues to grow, all retail locations will soon be updated on the Store Locator page. Customers can use the Store Locator to find Gigli near them. Gigli is currently available on gigli.com, DoorDash, Gopuff, Totalwine.com and select locations nationwide. Fans can connect with Gigli via Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and LinkedIn.
