Joie de VeeV

You voted and we listened.  The winning cocktail from our summer tasting party, “An Evening of Eco-Friendly Cocktails with VeeV Acai Spirit,” is a delicious ginger concoction called Joie de VeeV.  It’s a little bit sweet and sassy at the same time.  And, for a limited time only, it’s on the menu at Delicatessen restaurant in Soho.

For those of you that don’t live in New York, VeeV kindly shares the recipe below:

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 oz VeeV Açaí Spirit
1 oz fresh lemon Juice
3/4 oz orange liqueur
3/4 oz simple syrup
1 large slice of ginger diced
Crystallized ginger, for garnish

MIXING NOTES
Muddle ginger and simple syrup in a bar glass.
Add VeeV, orange liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup and shake well with ice.
Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass
Garnish with the crystallized ginger.

INSIDER NOTES
Tried, tested and true, Joie de VeeV was voted the favorite drink by our audience of event planners and nightlife impresarios.  A refreshing cocktail for the warmer months with, according to some, the added benefits of ginger and acai berry.  So, raise a glass and drink to your health!
