Before launching her own vodka brand, Leti Fernandez De Mesa worked in art galleries, eventually starting her own auction house in Colombia. But as she conceptualized her next chapter, she decided to leave the art world behind to create something new: an organic, fragrant, and gluten-free vodka. Introduced in 2022, her pink-hued Una Vodka now decorates Miami’s favorite bars and has made the rounds in private residences, too. Handcrafted in South Florida, where De Mesa now resides, this small-batch spirit is loaded with floral infusions like begonia, orange blossom, and vanilla flowers. De Mesa says her ingredients make sipping Una a refreshing experience because “only flowers can respect the purity of vodka and only vodka can respect the essence of flowers.”
