We just rolled into the San Francisco Ready-to-Drink Awards and strutted out like it was a 1920s heist—except instead of diamonds and fedoras, we made off with medals.
Leading the getaway? Our beloved Bee’s Knees, which earned PLATINUM and Double Gold honors. That’s right—after three years of back-to-back Double Golds, this classic finally climbed to the top of the leaderboard. (For the uninitiated: Double Gold means every single judge gave it a Gold. We’re not saying we’re proud—but we’re definitely not not saying that.)
And the rest of the crew didn’t exactly stay in the getaway car:
Sidecar Mimosa picked up a sharp and citrusy Silver
Lavender French 75 floated off with a floral and fizzy Bronze
All in all, Blind Tiger now boasts 40 awards and counting since our humble beginnings—bottling drinks in the back of a speakeasy when takeout laws got weird. We’re beyond grateful to The Tasting Alliance and every judge who gave our spirit-free cocktails a seat at the winner’s table.
We’ll keep doing what we do best: crafting classic cocktails that turn heads—even without the hooch.
