BEHIND THE BOTTLE
Entrepreneurialism is deeply rooted in U.S history: The country was founded by risk-takers and innovators looking for new opportunities. They grow up learning about inventors like Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin. As we get older, it’s Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, Larry Page and countless others who inspire us to break molds.
Unicorn Distillery embodies that entrepreneurial spirit. Their product proudly harmonizes tradition with innovation to create something fun, new and completely unique. They’ve created a corn vodka and agave tequila that naturally change color — with no sugar and zero carbs — and we’re making it in small batches, in a family-owned distillery in Seattle, WA. Our color-changing tequila and vodka cocktails are designed to disrupt expectations and inspire the, “What if?” As the world’s no. 1 producer of all-natural, color-changing vodka and tequila, it’s Their goal to inspire the risk-taker within you.
Founders Rick and Alaina Hewitt wanted to create a beverage that celebrates the changemaker in all of us. Alaina brings her marketing, event planning and restaurant industry knowledge to the table, creating a brand they can all see ourselves in. Pioneering is in Rick’s blood as a third-generation entrepreneur and 10-year veteran of the alcohol beverage industry, having worked on craft brewery and craft cider projects before starting Unicorn Distillery from his garage.
Unicorn Distillery crafts color-changing vodka and tequila for the risk-taker with strong values who isn’t afraid to question the status quo. The changemaker who makes their own magic. The go-getter who’s forging their own path in the pursuit of happiness.
Unicorn Distillery is for the dreamer who revels in celebrations from a new job and a first home to a stunning sunset after a hard day at work — all with a cocktail in hand. For the unicorns of the world. You dare to do things differently, and They’re here to provide the color-changing spirits that stand out from a crowd.
The Distillery
Unicorn Distillery is a family-owned distillery specializing in small-batch vodka and tequila, founded in Seattle, Washington in 2020.
Rick learned about a tea sensitive to changes in acidity (or pH), thanks to the power of its magic ingredient: Butterfly pea flower. Combining a decade of distillation experience with this innovative tea, Rick discovered a catalyst for a new category of spirits and Unicorn was born.
Not only do our premium vodka and tequila go one step further to be made sustainably — our all-natural, small-batch spirits are proudly zero sugar, gluten-free and non-GMO.
They don’t use anything artificial to make vodka and tequila (no preservatives, no coloring agents, etc.) Plus, the signature matte bottles will protect your spirits’ cobalt blue color from fading over time.
