3 things you need to know about our Pride Vodka
Erica Sagon
This bottle of vodka won’t solve the world’s problems, but it will directly support the LGBTQ community, and that’s a damn good start.
Here's the deal: When you buy a bottle of our Pride Vodka, we donate 10 percent of the proceeds to Bloomington Pride so that it can continue to celebrate, educate and strengthen our community in countless ways.
Bottles are sold at the distillery and other retailers in Indiana and Kentucky.
Let’s raise a glass to allies, activists, friends and family who believe in equity and liberty and justice and glitter! Be proud and drink Pride! Here's three fun facts about Pride Vodka:

THREE
Pride Vodka is a special bottling of our signature Vodka, which earned an impressive 93 points from Wine Enthusiast.
Our Vodka is made from white grapes, and it is fermented, distilled and bottled entirely on-site at Cardinal Spirits in Bloomington, Indiana. This is not your average tasteless, odorless vodka. It has character by design, with a very light entry and a bright floral finish. It's some of the smoothest vodka around.
