To be recognized this early in our journey reinforces that what we're building is resonating with consumers and industry leaders alike. It's a testament to the hard work we've put into the brand and the quality of the product itself."

Handman continues, "This is just the beginning for Deko Cocktails, and we're excited for what's ahead in 2025 and beyond. We believe this will be a truly monumental year for the brand as we continue to expand and innovate."
