The other night as Jeff’s +1 for
the SF Weekly Best Of award party (in which The Café won best pickup bar and
best gay bar!), I had the chance to taste VeeV Açaí Spirit. I actually didn’t need a chaser when I tasted
it by itself (which never, ever happens)
and it was absolutely delicious when mixed in a basil gimlet. When you buy a bottle of VeeV Açaí, $1
is donated to the Sustainable Açaí Project, benefiting the farm communities
that harvest Açaí berries.
VeeV is fabulous because it is the
only certified carbon neutral spirits company in the world, they get their
power through renewable wind energy, and they are involved in several social
efforts such Business for Social Responsibility in San Francisco, California
Climate Action Registry in Los Angeles, and Co-Op America in Washington DC, all
of which are geared toward sustainability. Not to mention their boxes are made from post-consumer
waste, their bottles are made from partially recycled glass, AND they use
recycled paper. VeeV is the coolest, most socially responsible alcohol companies I’ve ever come
across. And it’s delish.
Just to be clear, I am not
advocating that you should go and guzzle bottle after bottle of VeeV; if you do
decide to buy it, at least you know that your drink is made from quality
ingredients and your money is going toward special causes.
Check out their website to learn
more. Also please drink
responsibly!
