Reader Darci share a bit of our childhood in an adult incarnation. Amazing, it does taste like a Mounds Bar. Ad a bit of Amaretto and you’ve got an Almond Joy.

Mounds Bar

2 oz. Parrot Bay Coconut Rum
1 oz Godiva Chocolate Liquor

Pour over ice in a highball or bucket glass and sip!

Thanks Darci

Mother’s Day Cocktails

Happy Earth Day!

This year the beverage industry is full of sustainable and organic products. We’ve had the pleasure to try a few.

360 Vodka is a 100% organic vodka from the Midwest.

Veev - A sustainable Acai spirit full of anti-oxidants and made with a process that uses 200% less energy than traditional methods.

Try 360’s Greentini

Veev 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 natural hangover cure, prickly pear and Acerola Cherry. Veev base spirit is hand crafted and column distilled from wheat.

Veev is a sustainable company that donates $1 from every bottle towards green initiatives. The product is 100% natural and is made from a 4 column distillation process that uses 200% less energy that a traditional pot still. Packaging is made from recycled materials and the product is produced at Distilled Resources, the only distiller in America to get at least 25% of is power from wind. The company supports the Sustainable Acai Project and the Rainforest Action Network and is active is a host of other environmental organizations.

The 60 proof spirit is slightly yellow with a sweet citrus scent. The taste is a bit sweet with hints of cherry, chocolate and citrus. It makes a great mojito and fine Martini. I like it with ice and Pelligrino.

Veev is currently available at stores and bars in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami.
