If you’re LGBT and living in Dallas, you probably have tried Equality Vodka at an event. Maybe you’ve even seen it in a local liquor store. Or perhaps you have no clue what we’re talking about.
No matter which of the previous scenarios describe you best, we’re here to make SURE you know about Equality Vodka.
Equality Vodka is committed to celebrating equality for all, but they’ve been supporting the LGBT community specifically since August 9, 2014. And from now until August 9, 2016, they’ll continue to donate a portion of their purchases to Lambda Legal Defense Fund, one of the organizations at the forefront of the fight for equal rights.
To help make it easier to enjoy (and give back), we have four spring recipes that will liven up any gathering. As long as you share equally among your guests, of course.
