Founded by James Beard Award-winning chef and Ph.D. biochemist Robert Del Grande, alongside Don Short, a Coca-Cola veteran with over 30 years in the industry, we craft our spirits with one guiding belief:
Robert Del Grande
Don Short
Donald Short and Robert Del Grande are friends that spent a career in food & beverage and bring that experience to spirits. We were founded on the principle that real plants make better spirits. We focus on real and natural. We avoid flavors, extracts and sugars. Our products seek to be works of nature, art and science. Our Master Distiller and recipe-maker is Robert Del Grande. He is a James Beard awarded Chef. He holds a PhD in Bio-Chemistry and is a Father of Southwestern Cooking. Our packages are designed to be recognizable to the feel, and highly eye appealing. The Skyline Bottle is inspired by architecture and was designed by founder Donald Short, a retired CEO for a variety of international markets at The Coca-Cola Company. It is a “toast to the architects that create the skylines of our lives.” Our products include ROXOR Artisan Gin (Texas First) and ROXOR Botanical Bourbon (World’s First), and ROXOR Fleur de Vodka (Distilled Flowers and yes, another first).

Our Spirits
It’s simple, our spirits are best enjoyed on the ROX, shaken, OR stirred… ROXOR. Our Artisan Gin is Texas’ first gin and is likely the smoothest and most balanced gin you’ve ever tasted! At 90 proof, we’ve placed fresh grapefruit and lime peels above Italian Juniper, Egyptian Hibiscus, Texas Pecans, Peruvian Cocoa Nibs & six other botanicals.
Next, we’ve created the World’s First Botanical Bourbon. We utilize a sourced two-year-old bourbon with 21% rye. These young bourbons are generally harsh and lack complexity of older bourbons. So, we mature the bourbon for 6 additional months, by adding micro-doses of 20 exotic botanicals to the barrel.
The result is an exceptionally smooth and complex bourbon. Finally, our new Fleur de Vodka is a nod to Flower Powers. We distill flowers with an enhanced Neutral Grain Spirit and finish it with an enhanced mineral water. Cheers!

World’s First ”Flowers of Vodka”
We steep real flowers with a super-premium Neutral Grain Spirit that incorporates a patent-pending ultra-sound technology to eliminate alcohol “burn”, and then redistill to incorporate a very subtle flavor. Then we add minerals back to the water to provide texture or mouthfeel. With taste tests versus the leading international vodka brands, ROXOR is a distinctive leader based on smoothness and taste.
