Not only can you get buzzed on VeeV—a new Acai spirit that mixes like a vodka, you can also work hard on saving the planet, too. This new-to-South-Florida spirit is made from the Brazilian national fruit, and taste as exotic as its region. But what's so green about this drink? For every VeeV bottle sold, the Rainforest Action Network and Sambazon's Sustainable Acai Project gets $1. So, when you throw back a few of these Acai kiwi concontions at Casa Tua, don't feel guilty. Feel proud. You're saving the planet—two ounces at a time.

Recipe

2 ounces VeeV
1 tea spoon of sugar
½ kiwi
1 lime edge
Soda

Muddle ½ kiwi, 1 lime edge with sugar, add VeeV and shake it vigorously. Pour cocktail in a rocks glass, garnish with a kiwi slice with skin and top it with a dash of soda.
