From Norma Rosenthal Public Relations, LLC:
John Howie Steak Manager David Chou has designed a fun new spring cocktail honoring both the season and the environment – the Acai Tree-tini. Featured as the happy hour spirit for April, Earth Month 2011, and priced at $7, the drink is prepared by muddling fresh basil leaves, adding simple syrup and lime juice, and then topping it with VeeV. The martini is then shaken and strained into a glass, resulting in a gorgeous light tree green color.
VeeV is a new spirit – the world’s first distilled from the Brazilian super fruit Acai berry, which is very high in antioxidants and imparts a subtle sweet flavor. The environmentally conscious distillery, which is the only certified carbon neutral spirits company in the world, focuses on raising awareness, resources and support for the Brazilian Rainforest and the safe harvest of Acai. VeeV donates $1 for every bottle sold to directly benefit the farming communities that harvest this fruit.
As an added bonus, for every Acai Tree-tini sold at John Howie Steak, VeeV will plant a tree, helping to preserve the Rain Forest.
