Wins gold medal for Blood Orange, Yuzu & Vanilla and platinum medal for Mango, Pineapple & Coconut
TORONTO, May 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Organigram Global Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX: OGI), (the "Company" or "Organigram"), Canada’s #1 cannabis company by market share, is pleased to announce that its recently acquired business, Collective Project, has won recognition at the 2025 High Spirits Awards only a few short months following the launch of the brand in the U.S. The brand received a gold award for Blood Orange, Yuzu & Vanilla and a platinum award for Mango, Pineapple & Coconut hemp-derived THC beverages. High Spirits Awards is a competition launched by L.A. Spirits Awards in 2023 to identify and reward excellence among the growing number of cannabis- and hemp-derived beverages available to consumers.
Blood Orange, Yuzu & Vanilla is a fan-favourite beverage that is rapidly earning recognition in the U.S. following its recent launch. It has big citrusy notes of yuzu and blood orange, blended with vanilla and infused with THC. Mango, Pineapple and Coconut is a classic tropical blend with Piña Colada flavours infused with THC. Both beverages are packed with real fruit juice and inspired by the global art community.
"Seeing Collective Project products celebrated in the U.S. is a proud moment for us," said Beena Goldenberg, CEO of Organigram. "This early momentum, so soon after our acquisition, reinforces the brand’s strong consumer connection and innovative edge. It also validates our strategy to accelerate growth in the U.S. cannabis beverage space—where demand for elevated, experience-driven products is clearly gaining ground."
The Collective Project portfolio is currently available across several U.S. states, including Minnesota, Florida, Texas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee, and Alabama, and can be found at major retail chains such as Top Ten Liquors and Total Wine & More. An eCommerce website is set to launch in the coming weeks supporting the brand’s continued expansion and growing product lineup.
