Raising the Bar

Stoli Vodka is ‘Raising the Bar’ by reinforcing the brand’s long-standing commitment to the LGBT equality movement. Raising the Bar celebrates individuals and organizations central to advancing diversity and originality within the LGBT community.

Stoli is proud to share a first look at its Limited Edition Harvey Milk Tribute Bottle, honoring Harvey Milk as a pioneer of the LGBT civil rights movement for his exceptional leadership, coalition building and dedication to equality, and celebrating 40 years since he was sworn into office as the first openly gay elected official in the state of California.

For more ways to engage with Stoli, embrace your inner mixologist by checking out the 5th Annual Stoli Key West Cocktail Classic, get inspired to take community action by watching these videos of Stoli Heroes of Diversity, and learn how you can support global equality by visiting MilkFoundation.org.
