ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Ann Arbor Distilling Co. has been turning its spirits into hand sanitizer for the Ann Arbor area community during a time of sanitizer shortages. Items include cocktail making kits from Ann Arbor Distilling Co., meats from Grange Kitchen and Bar and chocolates from Mindo Chocolate Makers in Dexter. Through email, Olivia Chadwick, Marketing Director of the Ann Arbor Distilling Co., said that the company decided to make the hand sanitizer because it always has access to high-proof alcohol, a component of many sanitizers. Ann Arbor Distilling Co. is at 220 Felch Street. Read: Michigan breweries shift to making hand sanitizer amid coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak

Ann Arbor Distilling Co.'s Arbor Spring Gin is more floral in nature while the Arbor Summer Gin contains more notes of fresh produce and pairs with fruits and vegetables.
