Flo Rida is building a vodka distillery. It will have a wine bar (and cigar lounge)
We know what Flo Rida will be having.
The Miami rapper announced he just inked a major deal with Miami’s own Victor George Spirits to create an “ultra premium” craft vodka, VG Vodka.
Flo and local businessman Victor Harvey will also build a 13,000-square foot facility to house a distillery on historic Sistrunk Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
A cigar bar, wine bar, lounge and restaurant are in the works on the property as well.
“Super excited to join the VG Family as an equity owner and brand ambassador,” said Flo Rida. “I have known Mr. Harvey for years and I’ve seen his grind, hard work and enthusiasm in building his brand.”
The two men have known each other for years and were looking for just the right project.
“Flo is an amazing businessman and I watched him build his company from the ground up,” said Harvey. “I knew it was only a matter of time before we did something together.”
All-natural VG Vodka is described as “a clean, smooth, gluten-free” and promises “no hangovers, headaches or burn.”
That sounds promising.
“We have traveled the world sampling vodkas from all over to make sure we deliver the finest drinking experience,” said George.
VG can be found throughout South Florida at liquor retailers Total Wine, Crown Wine & Spirits, and Ocean Wine & Spirits. Bottles start at $19.99/750 ml or $28.99/1.75ml. Restaurants and bars currently offering VG include YOLO, Tuscan Prime and more, totaling more than 130 locations.
The distillery and cigar lounge will be opening late 2020 or early 2021.
