With the summer winding to its close, it is time to make the most out of the remaining days of sunshine. But since not everyone can master the mixologist’s magic, toasting to the twilight of the warm months can be a challenge.

But VeeV is giving the helpless a little hope with its Perfect Pour Pitcher gift pack.

Thanks to its Acai spirit- the world’s first! - the company has already become a celebrity go-to liquor brand while maintaining its mandate to introduce people to “a better way to drink.”

The gift pack, which can be ordered online at Mel & Rose for a bargain $29.99, includes a 750 ml bottled of VeeV Acai Spirit as well as a Perfect Pour Pitcher with fill lines for four different cocktails: Acai Lemonade, Superfruit Sangria, Superfruit Mojito, and Superfruit Margarita. 

Rounding out your hosting duties is as easy as 1,2,3:

1. Fill the pitcher following the lines
2. Add ice
3. Then garnish and serve!

If making your life easier wasn’t enough of an incentive, VeeV donates $1 per bottle sold to Rainforest preservation through The Sustainable Acai Project. VeeV is also the first certified carbon neutral spirits company in the world.

Believe It Or Not: This Is Tequila

What does Adrian Grenier from Entourage reach for when he’s thirsty? Why, Maestro DOBEL Diamond, the “clear” tequila, of course! (Yes, we know we sound like some 50’s TV ad!)

Maestro DOBEL is “diamond-clear” tequila as a result of a “proprietary blending and filtration technique.”  Hand-crafted in Jalisco, Mexico, DOBEL is a distinctive blend of three aged tequilas: Reposado, Anejo and Extra-Anejo.  Every step of the process is crafted by hand – and each bottle is individually numbered.

It’s almost time for everyone’s favorite foursome to return to the silver screen. Whether you’re a Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, or Samantha, toast your inner Sex and the City character with ROSANGEL , a fancy Tequila slightly flavored with Hibiscus flowers, which give it the lovely sunset-pink hue.

Our Favorite? The “Don’t Get Carrie’d Away “ champagne cocktail with strawberries. It tastes of summer.

By mixing classic with funky, Carrie’s personal style is chic with a twist:

Don't Get Too Carrie'd Away Champagne

1 oz ROSANGEL

2 Muddled Strawberries

1 oz Simple Syrup

Top with Champagne

 

A spiced up version of a serious cocktail shows Miranda can balance work and play:

Miranda Needs A Margarita

1 1/2 oz ROSANGEL

1/2 oz Premium Orange Liquer

1 tbsp Agave Nectar

1 tbsp Cranberry Juice

Splash Of Ginger Ale

1 1/2 cups of Ice

 

If you’re a born hostess, channel your inner Charlotte and whip up this crowd-pleaser:

1/2 bottle Of ROSANGEL

1/2 bottle of White Wine

1/2 cup of White Sugar

1 oz Orange Juice

2 oz of Cranberry Juice
