We don’t just sell to the queer community, we’re a part of it.

We believe it matters who owns the company. We support LGBTQIA+ nonprofits and political candidates, and we make sure that we work with other like-minded businesses whenever we can.

Unlike big brands that slap a rainbow on their products and expect you to buy them, we are out and proud. We live our values, lead with our authentic selves, and contribute to our community whenever we can.

Premium organic & gluten free vodkas, gins & liqueurs. Available statewide in Rhode Island & Massachusetts.

We started this company to do something we love in hopes of creating distinctive products, and only later realized that we own and operate New England’s only LGBT-owned spirits brand. That means a lot to us, and we work hard to ensure that our distillery & tasting room is an accepting and welcoming space, where all the members of our community feel free to be themselves.

We also realize that with asking for the support of the LGBT community comes a responsibility to give back. We live and work in this community, giving space to social and activist organizations, partnering with other businesses, and supporting out and proud political candidates.

What We Value

We’ve put our effort behind our words:

  • Organizing fundraisers for queer political candidates, Pride organizations, and other LGBTQIAA aligned causes.

  • Providing space for the RI Feminist & Queer Happy Hour

  • Contributing product and support to The Stable, Providence (who besides running a fabulous weekly Rhodium Friday event ALSO run more fundraisers than you can count on both hands!)

  • Supporting Rhode Island Pride’s COVID-19 Emergency Supply Drive (using our cargo van to help deliver food & other necessities, which the organization supplied to over a thousand households impacted by the pandemic).

  • Contributing recipes, auction items, and live demos to virtual and in-person Pride events.

We pledge to be there, with you, as we find new ways to support and celebrate our diverse community. In the meantime, if you have the chance to support us, we’ll be there to support you!
