What is VeeV Acai? Is there a substitute for it?
A little sweet for me as written— topped with club soda and it was perfect! Made some other subs out of necessity, all worked well— half lime/half lemon, agave nectar instead of simple, vodka as the spirit. May try with rum for a riff on a mojito. So refreshing! Will make this all summer.
VEEV is a neutral grain spirit distilled from Idaho Winter Wheat and infused with acai. Tastes like a sweet gin.
