Veso Aperitifs
JS2 is proud to present our holiday gift guide, inspired by our clients’ latest and greatest bundles, baskets, and special once-a-year deals on products to delight you and your loved ones. Warmest wishes from all of us at JS2, and a happy, healthy New Year!
Veso Aperitifs
Give the gift of a flavorful aperitif to those who keep a well-stocked home bar. Veso launched in the fall of 2021, and is made with locally sourced California ingredients. Crafted with a lower ABV of 18%—about half the alcohol content of traditional spirits—each batch of Veso is meant to be sipped chilled or over ice, and offers the modern-day spirits enthusiast a meaningful drinking experience in delicious flavors like Vanilla Nightfall and Strawberry Solstice. Delivery is currently available in California, with plans in the works for nationwide distribution.
Vanilla Nightfall is reminiscent of a Negroni or a Manhattan, with less bitterness and more complexity, featuring notes of warm spices and orange marmalade. Strawberry Solstice is less sweet and more natural-tasting than Aperol, with bold, bright strawberry and tart citrus flavors.
Purchase Veso online for $35 (plus shipping) or $70 for two bottles (with free shipping). To stay up-to-date on Veso and get inspired for your next cocktail hour, follow them on Instagram.
