Trump Vodka

Trump Vodka: Donald Trump’s Attempt at a Luxury Liquor Brand

Launched in 2005, Trump Vodka was a premium spirits brand developed through a partnership between Donald J. Trump and Drinks Americas Holdings. Marketed with the bold slogan “Success Distilled,” the vodka was designed to compete with top-shelf brands like Grey Goose and Belvedere.

Trump’s Vision for a Luxury Vodka

Trump positioned the brand as a symbol of prestige and lifestyle, stating at the time, “Even if you don’t drink, you’re going to want Trump Vodka on your shelf.”

Key branding elements included:

  • Sleek, gold-accented bottle design

  • Promotion via celebrity events and nightlife sponsorships

  • Tie-ins with the Trump lifestyle image of wealth and success

Despite heavy promotion, the vodka struggled in the U.S. market.

Commercial Challenges and Discontinuation

By 2011, Trump Vodka was discontinued in the United States due to poor sales and distribution issues. Critics noted the disconnect between Trump’s non-drinker status and his promotion of an alcohol brand. Additionally, production and marketing costs proved unsustainable without significant consumer demand.

Continued Sales in Israel

Interestingly, Trump Vodka found a niche market in Israel, particularly during Passover. Its potato-based distillation made it suitable for kosher for Passover observance, allowing limited success overseas even after its U.S. collapse.

Possible Revival in 2025

As of early 2025, reports suggest that Eric Trump has explored relaunching a new line of Trump-branded vodka in the United States. While no official announcement has been made, the family’s interest in reentering the liquor market could signal a second attempt at brand revival.

Final Word

Trump Vodka was introduced in 2005 as a premium liquor brand under Donald Trump’s name. While the product failed in the U.S. market, it maintained niche success in Israel. Rumors of a 2025 revival by Eric Trump have reignited interest in this discontinued Trump venture.
