Veev Acai, (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) seems to roll off the tongue once you figure out how to pronounce it that is.

The origins behind this spirit read like the plot of a future Indiana Jones movie, “Indiana Jones and the Secrets of Acai”.
Rumor has it that Courtney and Carter Reum discovered the acai berry’s while on exploring the jungles of Brazil.

Since the discovery, Veev as it was named has started popping in restaurants and cocktail lounges throughout the country.

Two of the more popular Veev based drinks are the VeeV-A-La Green and the Acai Bluberry Martini.

The Veev Ala Green-A Combination of Veev, Fresh Basil, Cucumber, Lemon and Simple Syrup

Acai Blueberry Martini-A Combination of Veev, Blueberry Infused Vodka and Lemonade

Akin to the pomegranates older brother, Acai actually has a higher level of antioxidants, in addition to containing equivalent levels of vitamins C, A, and E. The fruit also is known for giving an energy boost similar to caffeine. In addition to these benefits, Veev has taken the health benefits and brought them back to earth, by using an entirely green manufacturing process. The company behind the distilling process, Distilled Resources utilizes renewable wind energy to supply most of its power needs. This along with its four-column distillation process, which uses less power than standard pot, still based distillation, has allowed Veev take the tile of one of the most Eco-Friendly spirit producers in the country.

As a side note, for every bottle sold, Veev will donate a dollar towards saving the Rain Forest. So while savoring that next Veev Cocktail, you can feel good about it as you do your part to save the world one drink at a time.
