Jason Momoa isn’t letting a thing like a new divorce get in the way of connecting with his fans.

The “Aquaman” star, who recently reached a settlement with his ex-wife, actor Lisa Bonet, is heading to South Florida later this week to introduce the 21 and over crowd to Meili, the actor’s new vodka brand.

During the so-called Meili Vodka Revolution Tour, the hunky Honolulu native and his business partner Blaine Halvorson (formerly of music-nostalgia T-shirt company Junk Food Clothing) will stop at two locations, one in Broward and one in Miami-Dade.

During the “Meili Vodka Revolution Tour,” Jason Momoa and his business partner Blaine Halvorson will stop at two locations to take photos, sign bottles of Meili and celebrate their friendship alongside local fans.

The 44-year-old “Game of Thrones” alum will be signing bottles (made of recycled glass), taking selfies and probably making a few folks swoon along the way.

It took Momoa and Halvorson about seven years to develop Meili (pronounced MAY-le), which means “the lovely one” in Hawaiian.

“Meili represents the adventurer’s heart, the purity of discovery, and the spirit of exploration,” says the website. “Every ingredient is purveyed with the utmost quality and character in mind. Handcrafted by friends, intent to be shared. Inspired by the journey, and those met along the way.”

Momoa, who shares two kids with Bonet, admitted it was hard to keep his (alcohol) baby under wraps.

“Everyone we talk to is so pumped — and it’s so exciting to see it finally out there. I mean, I can’t keep my mouth shut. I’m horrible at surprises,” he told Spirits Business. “It’s pretty amazing to go, ‘Wow, all this hard work and what we did and what we believed in is finally paying off.’ It’s probably one of the biggest honors of my life.”
