5 NYC Kanon Cocktails to Try Now

There are few better feelings than that first sip of a really delicious cocktail from one of New York's finer watering holes, especially when you take a step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. Now we know there are a lot of crazy concoctions out there in the concrete jungle, but luckily we've tried quite a few and after careful deliberation wish to share our favorites with you. Without further ado, we present five Kanon cocktails to try this holiday season.

The Lift Ticket at The Standard Grill, 848 Washington St, (212) 645-4100
From our rave reviews of their Penny Drop, to our many late nights at Le Bain, it's no secret that we're pretty much obsessed with anything The Standard turns out. With cucumber, lime juice, elderflower liquer, and kaffir lime powder, we're filing this amazing concoction under the category "unexpected green substances that'll get you lifted."

The Party of the Year: Swedish Midsummer Overtakes NYC
Binki Shapiro and Adam Green
Something very surreal happens when you've been waiting for a particular moment for an entire year and that moment finally comes. Such was the case this past Friday afternoon, stretching into evening– and it can pretty much be summed up into one word: Midsummer. If you follow our blog, Facebook, or Twitter account, then you've inevitably heard us drop this word a lot recently. But what does it really mean? Well, if Friday's festivities were any indication, Midsummer is all about fun–which, when you break it down from our perspectives encompasses a lot of cocktail drinking, good music, friends and floral headpieces.

The ominous skies threatening to rain on our parade didn't seem to dissuade a great looking crowd from getting their hair a little wet. Our favorite Swede blogger Elin Kling hung out with us all night (sporting her DIY floral crown from Ovando Flowers), along with our other friends and FOKs, Kelly Framel of The Glamourai, Scott Lipps, The Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr. and Fabrizio Moretti, FOK photog Bronques, Connie Wang from Refinery29, Magnus Berger, and more.

Lydia Kellam of The Swede Beat followed by Zara Zachrisson and May Kwok helped us get the party started on the DJ table with some classic Swedish jams– think "Heartbeats," by The Knife and "All That She Wants," by Ace of Base. We didn't even need to be our usual three cocktails deep to start moving on the dance floor. And just when we didn't think it could get any better, newly formed duo Binki Shapiro and Adam Green took the stage. By the time their set was over and The Misshapes had taken over the DJ table to finish off the night's tunes, the entire party had relocated to the dance floor. We learned a few new moves that we'll be whipping out at our next event, no question. If you were lucky enough to join us in Friday's festivities, then relive it in the pictures above– and if you weren't there, well, here's a taste of Midsummer. Also, check out all the rest of the polaroids from the night on our Facebook page.

Skål!

Our 5 Fave Outdoor Drinking Spots

The last few days have given us a hint of something we haven't felt in a while- warm weather. Not sure what it is, but we're instantly put in a better mood knowing we don't have to battle the elements on our way to work or happy hour. The winter coats are already hanging, people. Time to trade in those mugs for frosty glasses of Kanon on ice.

With everyone savoring the Indio desert heat at Coachella, we only thought it appropriate to share our list of favorite outdoor spots in New York that make Spring drinking all the more enjoyable. We recommend checking these off your list as the temperature rises.

The Standard Biergarten, 48 Washington St at 13th St (212-645-4646)

We’re big fans of the Standard–from the Boom Boom Room to Le Bain and The Grill, there’s a spot for every occasion here whether it’s a liquid lunch or night on the town. Plus, it’s also one of the newest stockists of Kanon in the city. Added to the list as Spring settles in? The Biergarten, an open-air bar filled with communal tables for making friends, ping pong, and of course drinking. Whether you’re buying beer tickets or sneaking into the Grill for a Pennydrop (which we can’t recommend enough), stop by soon.

Gramercy Park Hotel, 2 Lexington Ave, (212) 920-3300

We’re an equal opportunity vodka, so where the party goes–we go too. While we love a good dive as much as the next guy, we can’t help but love the luxurious ambiance of the Gramercy Park Hotel’s terrace. Accessed via their private keyed-off elevator in the hotel, and with a laundry list of liquor-infused concoctions, it’s the kind of place that makes us feel like we have it all.

Lykke Li After-Party at Soho Grand Hotel
Lykke Li
Last night was all about Lykke Li—after watching an awesome performance by the Swedish star at Le Poisson Rouge, we headed over to the Soho Grand Hotel for the official after-party. She DJed the hits, the drinks were flowing--Kanon cocktails, of course--and a good time was had by all. Check out all of our pictures from the night's festivites.
