These local distilleries are making hand sanitizer — and, don’t forget, booze

Local distilleries have jumped into action to offset the national shortage of hand sanitizer in a time of crisis. Most have put aside whiskey and vodka in order to blend and bottle a mix of ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, and glycerin.

Some are making it in bulk for hospitals, first responders, and large organizations like USPS and Amazon. But many are giving away small quantities of sanitizer — in spite of the production expenses — when they can, even as their regular business has been hindered. With tasting rooms shuttered and their biggest clients (bars and liquor stores) closed, distilleries must rely on pickup and delivery sales to stay afloat.

Whether you need it in bulk or just for your household, here’s where you can get hand sanitizer in the Philadelphia area — and some booze to go with it.
