VeeV Spirits

About VeeV Spirits

VeeV is The World’s First Açaí Spirit and simply a better way to drink. Açaí (pronounced ah-SIGH-ee) is the exotic tasting Brazilian national fruit thought to be the healthiest fruit on the planet.

We became a B Corporation for many reasons, but two of significance are: 1) we wanted to validate our social and environmental initiatives and help distinguish ourselves from many of our competitors who are "green-washing" and 2) we wanted to align ourselves with like-minded companies with shared values that we can learn from and share best practices with.

VeeV enhances cocktail classics, is perfect for creating new creations, or can be enjoyed simply on the rocks or with a splash of club soda and a slice of your favorite citrus fruit.

The Change We Seek®

VeeV seeks to better people's lives, their conscience, and their cocktails.

• VeeV donates $1 per bottle sold to rainforest preservation and is proud to be the first certified carbon neutral spirits company in the world

• VeeV is the first spirits company to offset its business activities

• VeeV’s distiller uses renewable wind energy and a 4-column distillation process that uses 200% less energy than a traditional pot still.
