Luba’s premium ready-to-drink cocktails earn Silver, Bronze, and Commended distinctions on the global stage
Sturgeon Bay, WI – April 16, 2026 – Luba, creator of premium ready-to-drink non-alcoholic cocktails, proudly announces its recent success at the World Alcohol-Free Awards, where the brand earned three major honors. With Silver, Bronze, and Commended distinctions across its signature cocktails, Luba continues to set a new standard for sophistication and quality in the alcohol-free beverage category.
Christiana Trapani, co-founder of Luba, emphasized the significance of the recognition:
“For us, these honors represent more than medals. They reflect what we set out to do from the beginning — create alcohol-free cocktails with the same depth, balance, and sophistication as the originals.”
Luba’s Cranberry Cosmo earned a prestigious Silver medal, standing out for its complexity and elegance. Judges praised its dusky pink color and vibrant notes of hibiscus, lime, and Japanese plum, describing a delicate, dry palate layered with subtle spice and hints of cherry blossom, finishing with a long, refreshing grapefruit pith edge.
The brand’s Lime Margarita received a Bronze medal for its clarity and precision. Judges highlighted its fresh citrus character and natural expression, noting a refined balance with lemon zest and pith that delivers a dry, sophisticated, and highly drinkable profile.
Luba’s Grapefruit Paloma was awarded a Commended distinction, recognized for its bright and approachable style. Judges described it as vibrant and inviting, with lifted aromas of mint and pink grapefruit and a refreshing, well-balanced finish.
At its core, Luba believes everyone deserves a sophisticated drinking experience, with or without alcohol. These awards reinforce the brand’s commitment to crafting thoughtful, complex beverages designed for both celebration and everyday enjoyment.
