Never heard of a Long Drink, despite drinking long all the damn time. So I was naturally curious when I heard Loncaro was throwing a launch party in Hermosa Beach for their Finnish Long Drink.
I have seen the Northern Lights, and they are delicious. This gin and grapefruit cocktail is incredibly refreshing, goes down easy and tastes so damn good. Ginβs floral notes with grapefruitβs acidity is a perfect pairing, and Iβm mad I didnβt think to try it before.
With each purchase youβre supporting NextStep, a non-profit that makes rehab accessible and affordable to folks living with paralysis. Loncaro and NextStep founder Janne Kouri spoke passionately about his love for Finnish culture and how honored he is to give back to the community.
Finnish-legend and comedian extraordinaire ISMO performed a goddamn hilarious set, riffing on his countryβs famed hatred for small talk and love of parties – shoutout to Sanna Marin!
He absolutely crushed it at a freaking 3pm set, which is no easy feat. Daytime comedy is hard as hell!
Loncaro was kind enough to send us off with gift bags of swag and Long Drinks, which I of course drank over ice the second I got home. Oops, Iβm obsessed!
It wouldnβt be summer without National Lemonade Day! Fishers Island Lemonade (FIL) kicked off the festivities with a happy hour hidden in New Yorkβs trendy escape from the city, Governors Island.Β Held on August 16, the evening was spentΒ celebrating Fisherβs craft cocktail lemonades in all their forms including sparkling, frozen (in ice pop form), and of course, in pink.
Taco Vista, the companyβs summer collaborator, provided hβorderves and hosted the event which also sought to recognize the entrepreneurial sprit behind the holiday. FIL founder, Bronya Shillo, celebrated her eighth National Lemonade Day as an entrepreneur in a male dominated industry that credits her a pioneer. 
Since their launch in 2014, the brand has expanded from their original lemonade cocktails, to more options in a variety pack; a milestone that was launched and celebrated in May. This happy hour afforded an intrigued crowd the opportunity to try all four versions of the cocktail, and the icy pop, under the sunset.Β
Fishers Island Lemonade, a gluten free mix of lemon, honey, distilled vodka and barrel aged whiskey, is available for purchase on the company website where the Fishers team shares recipes for boozy lemonade cocktails thatβll make for great end of summer drinks!
Thereβs no better way to celebrate any occasion than with adorable puppies, and national dog day in New York City is no exception. On Wednesday, Park Terrace Hotelβs beautiful scenic rooftop was transformed into the ultimate puppy play pad as the hotel hosted its βBark Terrace Puppy Latteβ launch. With its stunning view of Bryant Park, the rooftop itself is perfect on its own, but with the addition of the puppies from PupStarz Rescue, it truly was the most amazing morning.
PupStarz Rescue is an animal welfare group committed to the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs and cats in public shelters at high risk of euthanasia, as well as those in danger of abuse. The organization is Β committed to rescuing as many animals as possible, saving over 3,100 dogs and cats since 2015.

As itβs currently the US open in New York, it only made sense to share the puppy love with some Tennis sensations. Belinda BencicΒ andΒ Alex de Minaur attended the launch event, and as both huge fans of dogs and coffee, the Gold Olympic medalist and Top Seeded player were the perfect additions to the morning. Theyβre staying at the hotel during the heated completion, and Park Terraceβs luxury amenities are ideal for them to unwind before heading to the courts Β for the ultimate game.Β
The beautiful Terrazzo lounge will give you the perfect titular view of New York City, with stunning Bryant Park views on one side and the Empire State Building on the other. Guests can enjoy a rich Italian-roasted espresso or your afternoon pick-me-up cup of tea from the fabulous coffee bar menu featuring La Colombe.
Finally, the event celebrated all things coffee by teaching guests how to make their very own puppy latte art, and even included a competition!
In the evening, the hotel held a cocktail party at the Terrazzo Lounge with Alex and Belinda that showcased the new space and kicked off Park Terrace’s US Open viewing parties held daily at Terrazzo. Guests enjoyed wines from Catena Zapata and cocktails from their official US Open Cocktail menu, created specifically for the viewing parties. These included the cleverly named Game-Set-Match (Kilbeggan Whiskey with Ginger Beer topped off with Lime Juice), Pimms Cup (Traditional British Pimms Cup with Cucumber and Mint Garnish), Courtside (Hudson Bourbon with Antica Aged Sweet Vermouth and Seasoned Orange Bitters) and Match Point (Ketel One Vodka with St. Germain Elderflower, muddled Strawberry with Lime Juice and a Spritz of Soda).

On August 21st, D’USSΓ hosted its third VIP Day Party experience in New York City. Taking place at the Watermark at Pier 15 in the heart of the South Street Seaport, there were several variations of cocktails to complement the Cognac we all know and love. Starting with the D’USSΓ Peach Sidecar, to the D’USSΓ Lemonade and finally the D’USSΓ Day Punch, there was plenty to go around and all of which fit the description of a tasteful summer cocktail. Along with a variety of beverages, there were special guest DJs playing many of the popular hits that kept this summer on a high note. As everyone danced to a few of our favorite songs, there was a photo booth that gave guests the option to digitally transfer photos to their smartphones for all their social media needs!
As if that wasn’t enough, a largely crafted Jenga set kept many of the guests at the edge of their seats while being in complete joy of the game! Specialty popsicles were served as we were encouraged to indulge in various food options (ie. cheeseburger sliders, coconut shrimp, fries, charcuterie boards, etc) and free merchandise. With the scenery of the city skyline and beautiful waterfront views, D’USSΓ surely had us on our feet enjoying every bit of the party!
