Vodka, Gin and other White Spirits http://thespiritworld.net/2008/10/21/veev-the-spirit-of-choice/ VeevVeev is a spirit made from Brazil’s National fruit, the Acai (pronounced ah-SIGH-ee) berry. The Acai is a packed with antioxidants, Omega3s, calcium, vitamin C & E and protein. The spirit also contains prickly pear and Acerola Cherry. I found Veev made from the Acai berry to be very refreshing and clean on the palette.  It had a fresh clean fresh flavor and a natural tasting sweetness that wold lend itself to just about every beverage combination that utilizes Vodka.  The Acai berry, a Brazilian fruit somewhat similar to the blueberry but a bit more tart is attributed to having great healthy properties and is full of flavorful nutrients.

The 60 proof spirit has a slight yellowish tint with a mild sweet citrus scent. The taste is a bit sweet with hints of cherry, chocolate and citrus. It makes a great mojito and delicious Martini, but I prefer it neat with a little ice.

“In addition to great taste, a core part of the VeeV brand is sustainability. The company donates $1 for every bottle sold, which goes back to the rainforest where the acai berries used in their product are grown. Everyone in the company either drives a hybrid, or is carbon-neutral, and VeeV’s distillery is the only one in the U.S. that gets at least 25% of their power through wind generation”

If you’ve not experienced the unique flavor profile of the Acai berry and you enjoy a more healthy side of spirits then this is certainly the beverage of choice!
