The Kanon Vodka-Approved Holiday Gift Guide: Part 2, For Women

As promised, here are our gifts picks for women this season. From stocking stuffers to serious splurges, we've curated an unbeatable wish list featuring goodies from some of our favorite FOKs as well as a few items that we just think are pretty cool. So go ahead and treat that awesome woman in your life. She deserves it.

Sunny Cocktail Glass: For those looking to wish someone a merry Christmas from the bottom of their hearts, look no further than these bad boys. Recycled glass martini glasses made in Mexico make it easy to forget the miserable weather outside and enjoy a Feliz Navidad, especially when they're brimming with delicious Kanon organic cocktails. Sunny Cocktail Glass, $8.95, available at Crate & Barrel

Mr Dannijo iPhone Case: Here at Kanon we're major advocates of using protection, especially when it comes to your iPhone. This season why not keep your phone safe in Manrepelling style with this FOK-approved mustachio'd case from Dannijo? MUS iPhone 4 Case, $98, available at Dannijo

Pamela Love Cuff: Pardon the obvious pun, but we're basically in love with anything this woman produces, and this cuff is no exception. The silver cross is a subtle nod to the season, but the overall design is more Kathryn Merteuil than Annette Hargrove. Pamela Love Silver Cross, $565, available at Barneys

Make This: Bobbi Brown's Signature Kanon Cocktail

When it comes to looking fabulous, Bobbi Brown has always had a lady's best interests in mind. Her strong presence in the industry is exactly why we had to create the perfect Kanon cocktail for her 20th Anniversary party last night. Behold...the Cucumber Mint Fresh, aka the perfect addition to last night's fête at The Crosby Street Hotel, which was decorated with more pink peonies than we've ever seen in one room...ever. Bobbi's nearest and dearest, including Rachel Roy, Eva Chen, Amy Astley and Iris Apfel were on hand to cheers along with us to 20 years of beauty – something we can definitely get behind. Another highlight from the night? The debut of her film with Bruce Weber, The Wisecracking Beauty Queen. But no party involving Kanon is complete without the ultimate toast, and Leonard Lauder did not disappoint with his words regarding Ms. Brown's career: "Bobbi Brown has gotten stronger and stronger... The rapper Bobby Brown, not so much." We'll cheers to that!

Does the combination of cucumber and mint have you feeling thirsty? Check out the recipe below and make it in honor of Bobbi at home:

Kanon Cucumber Mint Fresh

1.5 oz. Kanon Vodka
4 slice(s) cucumber
3 sprig(s) fresh mint
.75 oz. fresh lime juice
.5 oz. agave nectar

Lightly muddle cucumber and mint in the bottom of a shaker, add all other ingredients and ice. Shake and pour contents into a collins glass.

Toasting to Bobbi Brown's Holiday Collection!
Teen Vogue's Eva Chen and Bobbi Brown
Last night was a marathon of events. After a good stretch, we were off into the night. Our first stop for the night? Helping toast makeup guru Bobbi Brown and the launch of her new holiday collection. As if we didn’t feel summer was rushing past us already, we’re already celebrating the fall months. But a party is a party and if vodka is involved, we’re more than okay with it.

We stepped into the uber-swanky Rose Bar to find a crowd of beauty editors pouring over Bobbi’s new collection. We also took a look at it, and trust us- it’s awesome. It’ll be making a lot of ladies very happy in a few months.

Someone once told us that the best thing in the world is to complete something from start to finish and see it through. Well, we love to make cocktails and clearly, love to see them from start to finish, so we had our own cocktail station at the party to get the crowd involved. We gave mini cocktail lessons (courtesy of bartender Jan Warren) involving a silver collins drink with fresh cucumber- it may have been a fall event, but this drink was all summer. With FOK Chrissie Miller as the DJ playing tune after tune we love (seriously, how does she know?) and Kanon Ruby and Kanon Krush drinks on the menu, we were psyched to spend the evening toasting Bobbi. Check out our pictures from the night here, and make sure you check out Bobbi’s holiday collection when it hits stores in the fall.

Kanon Catch-Up: Talking Cocktails With Bobbi Brown

We realize we are only a vodka, but if you looked at our party resume, you might think we were on our way to becoming a fashion icon. Well, that might be a stretch, but in the last year or so, we’ve spent a lot of time on the fashion scene- learning the ways of the fashion party, perfecting our accessories (that would be a twist, a lime, and a splash of OJ) and getting to know some great FOKs and friends of FOKs, who have become ours as well. Most recently we met makeup expert Bobbi Brown, and you could say it was an instant connection. That's why we're joining forces tomorrow night to throw an awesome party for the launch of her new holiday collection. We may be far from experts when it comes to the makeup department, but we do always like to put our best face forward. Pre-party, check out what Bobbi had to say about her drink of choice (one of our favorite topics) and how she got started in the beauty game.

Kanon: We're super excited to check out your new holiday collection tomorrow night. What's different about this latest one?

Bobbi Brown: The collection was inspired by the Rat Pack Starlets of Old Hollywood, so it's very glitzy and glamorous with lots of sparkle and rich tones. This fall is our 20th anniversary, so we also embossed our best-selling Shimmer Brick with a martini glass and shaker to kick off the party–something we've never done before.

K: Speaking of cocktails, do you have a go-to summer drink or any personal cocktail recipes we should know about?

BB: Usually I like vodka on the rocks with three olives. I call it the " Yogi" after my friend Yogi Berra.
