The Bite:
imageNeed a drink after watching that close call on America's Next Top Model? Recover from Tyra's latest tirade with a VeeV Mango-Ginger-Açai Martini, a tasty combo from Nacional 27's master mixologists made with fresh juices, Skyy 90 vodka, and VeeV - the new clear liquor from Chicago natives Courtney and Carter Reum now appearing at bars and stores all over town. VeeV mixes and blends like vodka but has a fruity taste, thanks to its main ingredient, the açai berry, a power punch of vitamins, protein, fiber, and 57% more antioxidants than pomegranates. (We like it with grapefruit and soda.) VeeV is also the only carbon-neutral alcohol brand in the United States and the company donate $1 for each sale to Brazil's Sustainable Açai Project. Sigh. 
Wanna Try: 
VeeV, available at Sam's Wine and Spirits or Binny's Beverage Depot.  Bottle, $28/750mL. Mango-Ginger-Acai Martini, Nacional 27, $11.

Cocktail Fact

VeeV was the official green alcohol of this year's Oscars and sponsored nonprof Global Green’s annual Oscar party.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Chicago Biters buy a bottle of VeeV instead of regular vodka, almost 20 Brazilian farmers will be able to live above the poverty line during the four months of harvest season.
