Award-winning Hey Big Dipper Old Fashioned and Heavana Can’t Wait Mojito earn Silver honors in the NA Ready-to-Drink category
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — MEDASE Cocktails, the multi-award-winning, premium zero-proof cocktail brand, continues its award-winning momentum, earning two Silver medals at The Daily Pour’s 2026 Zero Proof Choice Awards. Hey Big Dipper Old Fashioned and Heavana Can’t Wait Mojito were both recognized in the Non-Alcoholic Ready-to-Drink (NA RTD) category, adding another pair of industry honors to MEDASE’s growing list of accolades.
Presented by The Daily Pour, the Zero Proof Choice Awards celebrate excellence and innovation across the rapidly expanding non-alcoholic beverage industry, recognizing standout products across categories including spirits, wine, beer, mixers, functional beverages and ready-to-drink cocktails.
The 2026 competition brought together products from around the world for a rigorous blind-tasting process designed to evaluate each entry on its own merits. Products were served in coded glasses with no bottles visible, and each entry was evaluated by at least three judges before medals were determined.
Hey Big Dipper is MEDASE’s sophisticated zero-proof take on the classic Old Fashioned, delivering the depth, warmth and complexity associated with the iconic whiskey cocktail, without the alcohol.
Heavana Can’t Wait reimagines the classic Mojito with refreshing notes of mint, citrus and tropical flavor, delivering an elevated cocktail experience made for celebrating any occasion.
“Receiving not one, but two Silver medals from the Zero Proof Choice Awards is an incredible honor for MEDASE,” said Monica Cornitcher, Co-Founder of MEDASE Cocktails. “We created MEDASE because we believed choosing not to drink alcohol should never mean sacrificing flavor, sophistication or the experience of enjoying a beautifully crafted cocktail. To have both Hey Big Dipper and Heavana Can’t Wait recognized by respected leaders within the beverage industry reinforces what we’ve believed from the beginning, zero-proof deserves a seat at every table.”
The double Silver win adds to a growing roster of accolades for MEDASE and its cocktail collection. Earlier this year, Hey Big Dipper Old Fashioned earned a Bronze Medal at the Los Angeles Spirits Awards, while Heavana Can’t Wait Mojito received a Bronze Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Most recently, the two cocktails were among MEDASE’s four medal wins at the 2026 Summer PR%F Awards, where Hey Big Dipper Old Fashioned received Silver for taste and Gold for package design, while Heavana Can’t Wait Mojito earned Silver honors for both taste and package design.
The latest recognition comes during a milestone year for MEDASE as the brand continues expanding its retail footprint and establishing itself within the rapidly growing non-alcoholic beverage category.
MEDASE will bring its award-winning cocktails to New York City on Thursday, September 17, as part of The Daily Pour’s Drinks With Benefits, where attendees will have the opportunity to discover and sample a range of innovative non-alcoholic beverages and meet the brands helping shape the future of the category.
