Steel Blu Vodka
Steel Blu was still in its first year of vodka production when it turned to making hand sanitizer, according to Out & About. The Delaware company delivered it free to local hospitals, police stations, fire stations, restaurants, and liquor stores.
Steel Blu’s blue flame in Bear
The distillery began with restaurateur Domenico Procope, who liked vodka-soaked cherries and dreamed of funding a distillery, Out & About reported. The name comes from a Prohibition story the company tells about homemade spirits burning with a blue flame, a motif that appears on its Orange label.
The vodka was made from corn and distilled six times, according to Out & About. Joe Ross, a Steel Blu accounts manager, told the magazine that the company blind-tested its vodka against five others before bottling. The 2020 Bartender Spirits Awards gave the vodka from Diamante Distillers a silver medal.
From hand labels to orange
Out & About’s October 2021 profile described the Bear team moving from applying every label by hand to using a labeling machine. The first flavor it was planning was orange. Orange and Grapefruit labels approved on consecutive days in December 2023 put both at 35 percent alcohol by volume. Grain On The Rocks lists the two vodkas in crushes made with their matching fresh juices.
Out & About’s 2021 profile put the vodka in Delaware, Maryland, and Washington, DC, with New Jersey still in the works. The magazine traced the Washington market to Delaware’s congressional delegation, which wanted a spirit from home available in the capital. The brand now lists New Jersey and Pennsylvania among its markets.
Boxes for local troops
Steel Blu also describes assembling care packages for local troops. The company picks out toiletries, snacks, and other supplies, and tucks handwritten notes into the packages. It says it puts 10 percent of company profits toward giving back.
