ROCK'N Vodka is a sugarcane vodka beverage, founded by Andy Roiniotis, Isabelle Roiniotis, and Denny Trakas in 2019.

ROCK'N Vodka is distilled four times and unaged.
History
ROCK'N Vodka was originally produced by Barnstormer Distillery in Rockford, Illinois. The brand moved to Rush Creek Distilling in Harvard, Illinois in December 2020. Sales and distribution expanded after winning the Double Gold award in the New York International Spirits Competition [2] and the Silver award in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.[3]
Distribution to the states of California, Texas, Washington, Georgia, Alberta, British Columbia, and Florida was set in 2021. ROCK'N Vodka is officially partnered with Hard Rock Cafe in the United States, the first feature being at the Hard Rock Rockford Casino [4]
Shannon MacDonald was responsible for creating the brand's iconic artwork.[5] ROCK'N Vodka was trademarked in February 2022.[6]
