, Meili was created to compete with the likes of Tito’s, but crafted to taste better.
“To us, vodka was broken,” Halvorson told the publication. “We didn’t like the vodka that was out there. It was like rubbing alcohol. … Literally, made only for mixing with something else.”
The spirit is made with a “harmonious marriage of native and seasonal grains brings a bright, smooth, and effortless flavor profile,” per the website. The company distills it in Montana, Halvorson’s home state. The website says Meili is intended to be enjoyed neat.
Momoa isn’t the only celebrity to swing through the Front Range this year while sipping an original spirit. In March, “Breaking Bad” actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul visited Denver to sign bottles of their Dos Hombres mezcal and sling cocktails at local mezcalerias.
