Two Boozes: P.I.N.K. Vodka and Veev
I'm not much of a hard liquor enthusiast (well, not anymore). I'd prefer a tasty, aromatic riesling or an ice-cold, refreshing Kirin to a shot of vodka (or even a hard-liquor cocktail) but these two new products were interesting enough to catch my eye.
Product number one (image to your left): P.I.N.K. vodka is a vodka that takes out the Red Bull middleman out of energy drink + vodka cocktails by adding upper (caffeine and guarana) to a downer (alcohol). I definitely have misgivings about this beverage. Number one, what will something like this do to your head?! I'm sure it's no worse than a vodka redbull, though. Second, will the energy infusions affect the taste? Not sure about this one. They're supposedly using premium vodka, but who knows.
Product number two (image to your right): Veev is a hard liquor made with Acai fruit. Acai is the trendy new superfood, given MAD PROPS by Oprah (seriously). Anyway, I'm just curious about the taste of this clear spirit. I wonder if any of the health benefits are present after fermentation and filtration (or whatever it is they do to make hard liquors)?
Still not sure where to buy these suckers...
