Chicago, IL – (May 2014) – Better Brands Beverage Co. (BBBCo.) announced that it has chosen Iowa among the first states to launch Salute American, a new brand with a purpose. The Company’s inaugural offering is an American-made, premium vodka that’s committed to investing in the future of U.S. veterans who have proudly served their country. To that end, the Company will donate $1 for every 750ml bottle sold to approved veterans’ charities – a declaration etched on every bottle.
Salute American was started by CEO-founder Pete Kelly, a passionate entrepreneur who wanted to make a difference in people’s lives through the ‘pay-it-forward’ philosophy. Pete couldn’t think of a more deserving group than U.S. veterans – a band of brothers and sisters with increasingly high unemployment and homelessness rates*. Salute American became a practical way to help maintain and create jobs in the US for veterans, and to generate ongoing economic success and stronger communities.
“Salute American is more than a name – it’s our mission,” said Pete Kelly, CEO-founder, Better Brands Beverage Co. “We prove our patriotism by giving back to U.S. veterans who have proudly served their country and paying it forward.”

Since the launch of Salute American, Better Brands Beverage Co. has donated more than $60,000 to veteran’s charities, including: The National Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation (VFW); Veteran’s Farm through Work Vessels for Veterans; Farmer Veteran Coalition; Homes for Our Troops; Wish for our Heroes; and Greater St. Louis Honor Flight.
Salute American is pure American from start to finish. The vodka is made from corn and wheat grains straight from the heartland. It’s then four times distilled for a smooth and sweet taste that works well mixed or neat. The canteen-shaped bottle, which bears the USA Certified™ Seal and the red, white and blue, was manufactured in Park Hills, Mo., and distilled and bottled in Rochester, NY.
Salute American is now available in the following states: AZ, AR, FL, GA, IL, IN, IA, MI, MO, NM, TX and WI. The suggested retail price for a 750ml bottle is $19.99, which may vary by market. Salute American Vodka is 80-proof and 40% alcohol by volume. The brand received a Silver Medal and an 87-point “highly recommended” rating from the prestigious Beverage Testing Institute in the category of “Best Value Vodka $20 and under.”
