The Community Spirit Vodka
A broad white panel on The Community Spirit Vodka bottle leaves space for a message. Casa Lumbre co-founder Moises Guindi described that blank label as a place for people to put the causes they wanted others to hear about.
Giving The Community label a voice
The company dates its start to 2021 in its release. Its account places the brand’s beginnings in the pandemic, when closures disrupted work at bars and restaurants. Some labels put the message directly on the front, with green hand lettering that reads “Protect Immigrant Workers” or “End Unfair Wages.”
Both message-label fronts also print the year 2020 in Roman numerals.
By December 2022, MHW’s schedule for retailers listed the vodka with a cocktail book. B Lab’s November 2023 holiday gift guide described the set as a 750 mL bottle paired with a book made with eight mixologists from across the country. The book featured their recipes and stories about how they worked to support their own communities.
What the company pledged
The brand announced B Corp certification in March 2023 after what it described as a yearlong review. The pledge calls for giving 5 percent of revenue and time, and the company reports that it gave back 23 percent of revenue in 2023.
PFLAG National described a June 2024 partnership to celebrate LGBTQ+ people and their loved ones. The pledge was one dollar for every bottle and specialty cocktail sold in June and July, up to $25,000.
The vodka behind the label
The company describes its vodka as made from American corn, distilled five times, and filtered through activated coconut carbon. In an April 2023 review, Wine Enthusiast reported that the vodka was distilled in the United States, bottled in Mexico, and brought back to the U.S. Reviewer Kara Newman picked up a little vanilla and heat from white pepper and cayenne.
