Fresh Summer Drankin’

Written by Corinne

We’ve all heard the benefits of superfruits, like acai and pomegranate being rich in nutrients and high in antioxidant power. But now there’s something to be even more excited about when it comes to superfruits – they are now in liquor! A specific liquor to be exact – Veev, the world’s first acai spirit! This summer, superfruit your usual drink of choice by grabbing a pitcher, throwing in a handful of strawberries or a scoop of cranberries, adding a decent pour of a VeeV and topping up with ice and soda. These drinks are a refreshing alternative to sugary Cosmos and will keep your waist-line in check! If that isn’t something worth doing naked cartwheels over, I don’t know what is. Give these recipes a try at your next summer cookout!
