AUSTIN, TX (ABC 7 News) – Austin based Tito’s Handmade Vodka is warning customers that the spirit is not strong enough to be used for a hand sanitizer.
A Tito’s customer posted a tweet, “I made some hand sanitizer out your vodka. The hand sanitizer doesn’t taste bad either. Cheers to Tito’s vodka. Keeping me germ-free and feeling good at the same time.”
Per the CDC, hand sanitizer needs to contain at least 60% alcohol. Tito's Handmade Vodka is 40% alcohol, and therefore does not meet the current recommendation of the CDC. Please see attached for more information. pic.twitter.com/OMwR6Oj28Q
