What was supposed to be a 3-day Hamptons extravaganza was quickly shortened into a day-long adventure once we saw the weather forecast for the weekend. Wet and cold. Everything we like our cocktails to be–NOT our summer weather. We were thankful to have plans with Elie Tahari and Erica Domesek (of PS I Made This) on Saturday afternoon, which provided a welcome respite from the torrential downpours that made our Jitney ride resemble more of an entrance into the Twilight Zone. We're no DIY experts, but we have to say, after a few of our Picnic and Eastside cocktails (which by the way might be two of the best Kanon cocktails we've crafted yet), we were stringing beads onto ribbon like pros. It didn't hurt that Domesek's intern offered to be our "designated DIYer." Isn't it nice to know that someone has your back when you're a few cocktails deep?
Check out all the pictures above from our crafternoon taken by Altamira's Craig Arend, and definitely try pairing your next DIY session with one of our Kanon cocktails. It's amazing how many creative new ideas a couple of sips of vodka can inspire.
PS- Elie Tahari's e-commerce site is on its way and will be launching in August, so be sure to check out our friends over there when it launches!
