    520c306021e411e1a87612313804ec91_7

     

    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."

    5 Things You Might Not Know About Us

    Here at Kanon, we like to keep you in the loop. We're always telling you about the best parties, the best DJs, and the best cocktails for your sipping needs. We thought it might be time to let you get to know US a little better. It's time to let you see the real Kanon. 

    1. We're Clever: Kanon isn't just a name we dreamt up one day. A long, long time ago we created vodka for the workers in the Akers Styckebruk cannon factory--thus "Kanon" was only fitting. Obviously we've got serious street cred in Sweden having inspired the cannon makers needed by the Swedish army. So tough.

    In From Sweden: Chef Per Morberg Samples Kanon

    Per Morberg

    In the U.S., we often use our downtime to catch up on some good ole Giada or Bobby Flay. But when it comes to Swedish food personalities, Per Morberg is the go-to man. With his show "Den Stora Matresan," Morberg bops around the Swedish country taste-testing local specialties and recipes along the way – a pretty awesome job if you ask us. And this week, the show got even better, as the chef paid us a visit in Åkers Styckebruk, home to the Gripsholm Distillery where Kanon Vodka is produced. If you can't understand Swedish, well then our apologies in advance. But we think it's just as entertaining watching Morberg stick his nose in a shot glass of Kanon. No?

We're all Heart

Other brands keep distilling their heads and tails, milking as much heart as they can which actually strips away sweet flavours and creates ethanol and the burn so many have come to expect from vodka. We don't favour profit over quality. Learn More
