Acai of Relief


Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy a bottle of VeeV instead of regular vodka, almost 20 Brazilian farmers will be able to live above the poverty line during the four months of harvest season.

Cocktail Tidbit
VeeV was the official green alcohol of this year's Oscars and sponsored nonprof Global Green’s annual Oscar party.

Need a drink after watching that close call on America's Next Top Model? Recover from Tyra's latest tirade with a VeeV Mango-Ginger-Açai Martini, a tasty combo from Nacional 27's master mixologists made with fresh juices, Skyy 90 vodka, and VeeV - the new clear liquor from Chicago natives Courtney and Carter Reum now appearing at bars and stores all over town. VeeV mixes and blends like vodka but has a fruity taste, thanks to its main ingredient, the açai berry, a power punch of vitamins, protein, fiber, and 57% more antioxidants than pomegranates. (We like it with grapefruit and soda.) VeeV is also the only carbon-neutral alcohol brand in the United States and the company donate $1 for each sale to Brazil's Sustainable Açai Project. Sigh. 

Wanna Try?
VeeV, available at Sam's Wine and Spirits or Binny's Beverage Depot.  Bottle, $28/750mL. Mango-Ginger-Acai Martini, Nacional 27, $11.
