Locals Only Vodka was founded by longtime spirits industry professionals Shane Cook and Dave McQuiston who came together through a shared passion for craft and the vibrant Southern California lifestyle. After years of working with major distributors and suppliers, they saw an opportunity to create something more personal—something rooted in authenticity, community, and a laid-back coastal spirit. Though our name is inspired by California, Locals Only Vodka is made to be enjoyed anywhere, by anyone. It’s about embracing where you are, living in the moment, and connecting with others who share that same local mindset—no matter where they’re from.

Crafted with care, LOV vodka is made using a sustainable coconut shell filtration process and a blend of grain and California-grown grapes, resulting in an exceptionally smooth finish. They’re committed not just to quality, but to impact—donating 1% of our total revenue to local environmental charities as part of our ongoing mission to give back.
