Saxtons River Distillery, Brattleboro, Vt., introduced Snowdrop Vodka, a citrus vodka and a botanical vodka expected in the first half of 2023. Half of the proceeds of Snowdrop Vodka will be donated to Friends of Blue/Yellow Ukraine in support of those affected by the current crisis throughout the country.

Christian Stromberg, founder of Saxtons Distillery, designates half of the proceeds from Snowdrop Vodka to Friends of Blue/Yellow Ukraine. His commitment to making a difference during the ongoing crisis goes back to Stromberg’s Lithuania heritage.

"As my ancestors were forced to flee Lithuania and start over back in 1905, I understand what is at stake for today's Ukrainian people. That is why it is so crucial for me to give back to charities like Friends of Blue/Yellow Ukraine that support those who are displaced and need help," he says.
