Social House Vodka

We believe that great vodka is not just about the smoothness of the spirit but the story behind it, the people involved, and the connections that our product helps to create.

What sets us apart the most, however, is our commitment to community. At our core, we believe in the power of connection, bringing people together to celebrate life’s unforgettable moments. Whether we’re collaborating with local farmers for ingredients or partnering with colleges and universities for co-branded bottles, Social House Vodka is more than just a spirit – it’s a movement that brings people together.

Unlike many large, corporate brands, Social House Vodka is crafted with a focus on quality over quantity. We’re a small batch, craft vodka distillery located in Kinston, North Carolina, and we’ve made a name for ourselves by prioritizing local, sustainable ingredients and putting care into every step of our production process.

Our vodka is distilled from 100% corn, making it naturally gluten-free. We use water naturally purified over 10,000 years from the Black Creek Aquifer, which contributes to our vodka’s crisp, clean taste. We’re proud of the fact that Social House Vodka is distilled six times, which leads to an exceptionally smooth finish that can be enjoyed straight or as the base for any cocktail.

Interesting Facts About Our Business

Social House Vodka was founded in 2017 with a mission to create a premium vodka that could bring people together in social settings, whether that’s a casual dinner party, a tailgate, or a celebration with friends and family. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, driven by our belief that there’s a unique story behind every great drink.

Our founder, Cary Joshi, has deep ties to the craft beverage industry and a passion for creating something truly special. Cary has built Social House Vodka not just as a product, but as a brand that emphasizes authenticity and connection. Whether it’s through our co-branded partnerships with universities, NIL Collectives, or our involvement in local communities like Kinston, we’re all about fostering meaningful relationships.

One of the most exciting aspects of our business is our involvement with Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) Collectives. We’ve partnered with various university NIL Collectives to create co-branded bottles that feature school colors and mascots, appealing to alumni, fans, and supporters. These partnerships help raise awareness, builds community, and a portion of each vodka bottle sale goes to support the university’s student-athletes, creating a win-win scenario for all involved. This initiative not only sets us apart from other craft vodka brands but also aligns with our core value of supporting local communities and fostering relationships.

Our offerings also extend beyond the traditional vodka experience. At our distillery and tasting room in Kinston, NC, we offer distillery tours and a curated cocktail lounge experience where visitors can sample craft cocktails made with Social House Vodka.
