Join us this week to explore the frontier of modern mixology with Veda, a New York producer that is single-handedly redefining the botanical spirit category. Rooted in sustainability and local craftsmanship, Veda creates spirits that bridge the gap between Old World herbal traditions and avant-garde flavor profiles. Their commitment to the environment is as impressive as their liquid; utilizing a base spirit distilled from starches destined for compost and sourcing ingredients from upstate farms, they prove that luxury and responsibility can coexist.
At the center of this tasting is the Veda Mushroom Liqueur, a spirit that demands to be tasted to be believed. Forget what you know about cloying liqueurs; Veda is built on a foundation of shiitake mushrooms, offering a rich, savory umami depth reminiscent of a complex dashi broth. This earthy bass note is harmonized by a choir of hand-selected botanicals—including rosemary, thyme, gentian, and mastic gum—and sweetened naturally with local wildflower honey and maple syrup.
Think of Veda as the savory, autumnal counterpart to bright Alpine herbal liqueurs. It possesses enough complexity to be sipped slowly over ice, but it truly shines as a cocktail modifier. Whether you are looking to add earthy intrigue to a Negroni or a savory kick to a Mule, Veda is the secret weapon your home bar has been missing.
Stop by the tasting table to experience this distinctive "forest floor" flavor profile and see why Veda is the talk of the New York cocktail scene.
