The VeeV Review
As consumers we want a liqueur that tastes really good, doesn't give us a hangover and smells awesome. You got all that? Good.
VeeV got it and that's why this "superdrink" has become one of my favorite liqueurs really fast! My initial experience with VeeV was at an event for the opening of the RedLight PR's NY office. As quick as these guys were making cocktails, they were going. After about 5 minutes of speculation, JT and I decided to try one(after all it was free) It was a spritzer, tasted as if there was hardly any liquor in it, which is an absolute plus for me because I'm HUGE on taste. It smelled really good, fruity and it was light.
Here are the specs:
VeeV is by classication a vodka, distilled with Idaho potatoes, infused with Acai, Prickly Pear and Acerola Cherry. Prickly Pear is known to curb hangovers,(perfect for a vodka don't you think), Acai is the berry from Brazilian Amazon which is known to have multiple health boosts. Acerola Cherry is known for its high volume of carotene(the stuff in carrots your mom said makes your eyes pretty) and vitamin C. So this liquor is better for you than those fries you've been chomping on lately.
Don't let the classification of Vodka fool you though, VeeV does not consider itself a Vodka, it considers itself something better in a classn by itself. I agree it is the first and only Vodka to have such ingredients and it is also the first liqueur to have a Carbon Neutral certification by the US government. So it's CERTIFIED green. Very official!
On top of being green inside, it is also doing its part outside. VeeV donates $1 of every bottle sold back to the environment of which it's main ingredients are derived from: the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest. To see the cocktails I mixed it with click here
FYI Posh Gives an A-
It's not as strong as what we're used to but we love the taste and the fact that it doesn't taste gross is you mix it with other liquor!
