Fuel & Elevate: Celebrating Achievements in Functional Beverages
Fuel & Elevate, the pioneering brand in hemp-infused functional beverages, continues to make waves in the industry, adding to its accolades at the 2025 High Spirits Awards. This year, the brand secured an impressive three awards at the prestigious event sponsored by LA Spirits, including the highly coveted title of Best in Show Coffee for its Vanilla Latte. Joining this honor are two Bronze Medals for its innovative Keto-Cream Sugar and Café Mocha, marking yet another significant milestone in the company’s journey towards redefining wellness in beverage consumption.
The recognition from industry experts and consumers alike underscores Fuel & Elevate's commitment to crafting beverages that not only taste great but also promote wellness. Michael Hayford, the Chief Imagineer of Fuel & Elevate, expressed his excitement about the awards, stating, "These new honors reaffirm that consumers—and judges—are looking for wellness-forward options that never sacrifice taste. To have our Vanilla Latte take Best in Show is an incredible endorsement of our mission to fuel the body and elevate the mind."
This latest success comes on the heels of a remarkable nine-medal sweep at 2024's America's Best Hemp Beverage Competition, solidifying Fuel & Elevate’s place at the forefront of innovation in the functional beverage market. The brand has consistently created high-performance beverages, expertly combining hemp-derived THC and CBD with nootropics, adaptogens, and all-natural ingredients. The result is a unique beverage experience that aims to support focus, enhance mood, boost energy, and alleviate stress—without the dreaded jitters or crashes that can accompany traditional caffeine sources.
In line with its recognition, Fuel & Elevate has expanded its reach even further by joining Emergent Beverages—a move that will significantly boost its distribution across the United States. Emergent Beverages is recognized as the largest hemp-infused beverage sales organization in the country, representing a strategic partnership that offers Fuel & Elevate an opportunity to connect with retailers and wellness-conscious consumers across more than ten states. Tom Cortez, Founder and Managing Partner of Emergent Beverages, added, "Fuel & Elevate reflects our commitment to innovation and wellness, and it meets the growing demand for healthier, more functional beverage options—delivered in a format that's as convenient as it is effective.
