Kanon Organic Vodka: Posts tagged shotmachine

There's really no place better than home during the holiday season, especially when home entails some fine Scandinavian-style partying. We kicked off winter with our friends and fellow Swedes at Happy Socks, who recently premiered a new series of portraits shot by FOK Terry Richardson at local gallery So Stockholm. Partygoers had the opportunity to shoot their own Richardson-inspired ad at the photo station, complete with props and, of course, an assemblage of top notch socks. And with the assistance of our signature Kanon shot machines (we didn't even bother with cocktails this time), even the most camera-shy of guests couldn't resist sneaking in front of the lens for their own model moment. Check out a few of the images here as well as general party photos shot by FOK Frederik Etoall.

We're not okay with throwing a party that's just okay. Average just isn't a word that's in our vocab. Which is why we decided to go a little wild when it came to choosing a location for our latest Swedish adventure--the launch of Cheap Monday's new underwear line.

We hosted the party in Statens Bakteriologiska Laboratorium (aka the Government's Bacterilogical Laboratory), a former research facility just outside of Stockholm that was shut down in 1993 and has been empty ever since--mildly terrifying, incredibly cool. We took the creepy factor and ran with it, by turning the old cooling room for lab samples into our serving station, where Kanon shots were doled from our crazy-looking 1937 shot machines. To take it even further, the party's centerpiece was none other than a sick art installation by Antwerp artist Frederik Heyman, complete with lasers and smoke machines. Oh, and did we mention that all of the Kanon cocktails were glow-in-the-dark? Yeah, it was a party for the ages. Check it out for yourself.
