AUSTIN, TX – Texas' own handmade vodka, Tito's, is releasing hand sanitizer to help with the low number of sanitation products in Texas.
The following is a statement from Tito's Homemade Vodka.
While we advise that you cannot use our standard vodka product as a hand sanitizer, our team at the distillery has been working hard to get all of the pieces in place to begin production on a hand sanitizer that adheres to industry and governmental guidance.
Last week, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) announced they are authorizing production of ethanol-based hand sanitizers by permitted distillers. This good news allowed our team to continue working on th is process.
Currently, we are testing our formula, procuring necessary components of supplies and packaging, and preparing for production as we wait for the additional required ingredients to be delivered to the distillery. We have the ingredients and equipment on order to make an initial 24 tons of hand sanitizer over the next several weeks, and plan to make more from there as needed.
While we don't have all of the details quite yet, we do know we will be giving it away for free to our community and those most in need. We will update you as we know more on the Tito's Vodka website.
