Touch Ruby: Where to Buy & How to Enjoy It
You already know what you want. A bottle of Touch Ruby — the bold, vibrant flavored vodka from Tampa's own small-batch craft distillery. The only question is where to get your hands on one. This guide has you covered: what Ruby is, where to find it near you, how to order it online, and exactly what to pour first.
Touch Ruby at a Glance
Touch Ruby is one of the flagship expressions from Touch Vodka, established right here in Tampa, Florida in 2012. Like every spirit in the lineup, it's 10x distilled and bottled at 80 proof. That distillation process isn't just a number — it's the reason Touch Vodka pours so clean and smooth, even in a flavored expression.
Ruby brings a rich, jewel-toned character to the glass. Think deep, fruit-forward flavor with the refined finish you expect from a premium small-batch vodka. It's crafted for people who want something more — more color, more personality, more Florida — without sacrificing quality.
It stands alongside the rest of the Touch family: the unflavored Touch One (also charcoal filtered), the bright citrus of Touch Orange, the tropical zing of Touch Key Lime, and the handcrafted depth of Touch Artisan. But Ruby? Ruby has its own energy entirely.

Where to Find It Near You
Touch Vodka is a Tampa-made, Florida-proud spirit, and Ruby's local presence reflects that.
Start local. If you're in the Tampa Bay area, check independent liquor stores and specialty bottle shops first. Boutique retailers and craft-focused shops are often the first to carry small-batch brands like Touch. Ask specifically — sometimes Ruby is stocked but not prominently displayed.
Try larger chains. Regional and national liquor retailers in Florida often carry Touch Vodka expressions. It's worth calling ahead before making a trip. A quick phone call saves a wasted drive.
Check grocery and convenience chains with liquor sections. In Florida, many grocery-adjacent liquor stores stock local and craft spirits as consumer demand for small-batch products has grown significantly.
Ask your bartender. If you're out at a Tampa-area bar or restaurant and you spot Touch Vodka on the back bar, ask about Ruby specifically. Bars that carry one Touch expression often carry others — or can get them through their distributor.
Use a store locator. The Touch Vodka website is your best tool for finding the nearest retail location stocking Ruby right now. Availability updates regularly, and the locator reflects current distribution.
Order Online & Shipping
Can't find Touch Ruby on a shelf nearby? Good news — you don't have to.
Order directly through the Touch Vodka website. This is the most reliable way to guarantee you're getting a fresh bottle, shipped with care. The site is straightforward: browse, select, checkout.
Third-party delivery apps and alcohol marketplaces — platforms like Drizly (now integrated with Uber Eats), Minibar, or ReserveBar — often list Touch Vodka expressions depending on your region. Search "Touch Ruby vodka" and filter by your zip code. Availability varies by state.
A note on shipping: Alcohol shipping laws differ by state. Florida-based orders are typically the most seamless. If you're outside Florida, check your state's regulations or use a retailer that handles interstate alcohol delivery compliantly. The Touch Vodka website will guide you through what's available for your location at checkout.
Gift shipping is also worth knowing about. A bottle of Touch Ruby makes a striking gift — the color alone turns heads. Many online alcohol retailers offer gift wrapping and messaging, so if you're sending it to someone, lean into that.
What to Make with It First
You've got your bottle. Now what?
Ruby's bold flavor profile is built for cocktails, but it's smooth enough to sip with a large ice cube and nothing else. Start there. Give it a moment. Let the flavor open up. That's the 10x distillation doing its job.
When you're ready to mix, here are three directions to go:
The Ruby Spritz. Touch Ruby, a splash of sparkling water, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a few cubes of ice. Serve in a tall glass. Simple. Stunning. This is your everyday warm-weather pour — and in Tampa, that's most of the year.
The Deep Ruby. Mix Touch Ruby with a high-quality ginger beer over crushed ice. Finish with a lime wedge and a few fresh mint leaves. The spice of ginger and the depth of Ruby play beautifully together. It's a mule riff that feels entirely its own.
Ruby Lemonade. Touch Ruby, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and a thin wheel of lemon floating on top. Classic. Easy to batch for a crowd. The kind of drink that disappears fast at a backyard gathering.
All three come together in under two minutes. That's the point. Premium vodka shouldn't require a complicated playbook.
Touch Vodka is crafted for adults 21 and older. Please drink responsibly and never drink and drive.
