About
22 Salute Spirits and Coffee
22 Salute is a proud veteran-dependent & minority-owned social enterprise offering premium spirits & coffee products. A portion of every sale is donated toward veteran & first responder mental health.
Join 22 Salute in Honoring Heroes and Transforming Lives
At 22 Salute, we believe in more than just crafting exceptional spirits and specialty coffees – we believe in making a difference. Founded by three veteran-dependents and dedicated advocates for veteran and first responder mental health and suicide prevention, 22 Salute is on a mission to support those who have served and protected us.
★ Our Premium Products ★
Ultra-Premium Vodka
Our vodka is distilled from corn and handcrafted using only the highest quality ingredients. The spirit is filtered 22 times in honor of the number of lives lost on average in the veteran community which produces an undeniably smooth taste. This meticulous attention to detail guarantees a consistent, premium experience with every sip, appealing to discerning consumers seeking the best in vodka.
Fig-Vanilla Bourbon
This unique spirit is a hallmark of our innovation in the bourbon industry. By infusing traditional bourbon with Mission Figs and Madagascar Vanilla Beans, we create a sophisticated blend that offers a rich, warm taste with a hint of sweetness and aromatic complexity. This combination not only differentiates our bourbon from others on the market but also attracts a niche audience of enthusiasts looking for novel and exquisite flavors.
High-Altitude Specialty Coffees
Our coffee beans are sourced from premier high-altitude regions, where the climatic conditions contribute to beans of superior quality. The high altitude allows for slower bean maturation, resulting in a richer and more nuanced flavor profile. Our roasting process is precisely controlled to bring out the best characteristics of these beans,delivering a bold, full-bodied coffee that stands out among specialty coffees.
Each of our products is not only a testament to our commitment to quality but also a vehicle for our greater mission.
Our Cause
22 Salute stands out not only for our premium products but for our unwavering dedication to a greater cause. A portion of every sale goes directly to The Veterans Connection, a nonprofit organization focused on mental health and suicide prevention for veterans and first responders. We are also the first to include the Crisis Lifeline number on the back of our products, providing easy access to help those in their darkest hours when help is needed most.
By choosing 22 Salute, you're not just enjoying top-tier spirits and coffee – you're making a tangible impact in the lives of our heroes.
