Though summer is more than halfway done, there’s no reason to stir up some fun and enjoy the rest of these warm sunny days. For your next summer soiree, whip up some cocktails and punch bowls with Grey Goose‘s newest flavor – Le Melon, the Fruit of Kings.

François Thibault created Le Melon to celebrate and showcase the cavaillon melon from the South of France. The melon, said to have been an inspiration for tastemakers over the course of history, has long been treasured for its honey-sweet flavor and smooth finish.

Grey Goose teamed up with Urban Daddy to celebrate the launch of Grey Goose Le Melon with a  party at the Bowery Hotel. Despite the forecast all day anticipating a downpour of rain, it held off for everyone to enjoy the festivities on the spacious outdoor terrace.

The party kicked off with DJ Rich Medina spinning, and was also hosted by DJ Khaled for the release of his new record, “Hold You Down.”

Photobooths were in place to trick you – while trying to pose waiting for the camera to go off, instead a goofy GIF is filmed of people awkwardly shifting around. Master carvers were showing off their skills

We loved all of the cocktails and tried them all, numerous times. Terrible idea in retrospect. We started off with the Grey Goose Le Melon Fizz with Manzanilla Sherry, Orgeat, lemon, and soda, but my favorite was the Melon Mule with ginger beer and fresh lime. The signature cocktail of the night was the Liberté with fresh grapefruit juice, ginger beer, Bénédictine, a melon ball, and topped with sage.
With Grey Goose Le Melon, keep the summer celebrations going.
Yours,
Von
