Yesterday, Paul and I attended the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Event at Governor's Island. This event was full of various celebs and here, I have footage from the press line including: Veronica Webb, Rachel Roy, Marc Jacobs, Chloe Sevigny and much more! Enjoy this and your Sunday!
By the time you read this, I will already be up and out the door with my press confirmation in my hand. I could be heading into the city or on the ferry to Governor's Island. Here I will spend the majority of my day watching the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic which makes its return to the city after 30 years! I have never been to a polo match but I truly think that horses are gorgeous and since Prince Harry will be riding, I must get an up close and personal look at the sport (yes that's it)! Paul (boyfriend and Food Editor) will also be there as the St Regis will do their traditional afternoon tea. I'm sure I will have quite a few pictures and videos to share with you guys and can't wait. This event is also open to the public, so make sure that you check out the site to find out how to get there! So check back for an update on what's going on! What could be better than a gorgeous day, an introduction to a new sport and my favorite champagne?
At Kitten Lounge, we love covering fashion, design and items within lifestyle; however, we also love talking about those that are apart of the industry that also play a vital role within this industry. NYC photographer Meagan Cignoli’s birthday party took place at Sanctuary T. With handpainted invites in hand, dinner guests sipped champagne topped with Chamomile tea and Elderflower (which is always a fab combination). Attendees included artists and socialites who came out to support this amazing artists whose works can be seen at her site, Visual Country and include various photos from fashion, editorial and her travels. Although the party lasted well into the night, many ended with dancing and brunch at Merkato55.
This weeked I'm in Chicago and if you are avid readers of the Kitten Lounge, you know that I covered Pops for Champagne in the holiday gift guide last year. Pops for Champagne is a super cute bar that has a number of champagnes available, a great crowd and a jazz bar that has music Thurs - Sun (I definitely want to come back to watch a show as I am a fan of jazz being the great neice to tenor saxophonist, Joe Henderson). Tonight, we enjoyed the Flat Bread Lamb which was an amazing combination of lamb, garlic puree, apples and this tasty melt in your mouth flat bread! This complimented our champagne which I am sad to say, I don't know the label.
This is the kind of place that you can test your champagne knowledge or put your tastebuds in the hands of staff that can find what works best for you and what compliments your meal the best. When it comes to a great night out to begin, end or stay - this is definitely a top place in Chicago to come to. I have to say, that I wish this champagne bar would be amazing to have in NYC and maybe one day it will come here (sorry Bubble Lounge). If you're in the area - come by and yes, you can still enjoy the game!
Anytime I am stumped on a drink or simply want to try something completely new, I head over to Cocktail Times.com to see what amazing beverage they have! Today, I was on the hunt for something exotic and as always, they didn't disappoint! I introduce to you the Gvine Orchid! Not only does this look refreshing with the orchids being included within this drink that's perfect for the summer time or for a vacation but I love that it includes Champagne and also grapefruit juice. The citrus blend of this drink is definitely a refreshin thing! Below, I have included the recipe, let me know if you enjoyed this.
Gvine Orchid
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz G'vine gin
- 1 1/2 oz pink grapefruit juice
- 1/2 oz elderflower syrup
- 1 1/2 oz Brut Champagne
Garnish: orchid
Put the pink grapefruit juice, the elderflower syrup and gin in a shaker, add ice, shake and serve in a high ball glass. Before pouring the drink into the highball, add the Champagne so that it mixes with the rest of the ingredients. Garnish it with an orchid if available.
This the best time of year - you know the part that you know that the weather is getting better and that you need to start thinking about what the perfect drink and place will be. When it comes to NYC, the perfect place is a roofdeck or a nice patio area. Now that choice seems easy but then again you have to decide what place has your favorite spot - when it comes to that, you're so on your own! In the meantime, for those that are rum fans - here is the perfect recipe courtesy of Cocktail Times.com. Not only are they a great place to go to get recipes for your next party, but they also have great recipes for meals that you would like to cook as well. They are definitely a go to site of sorts!
FUNKY DIVA
- 1 1/2 oz Leblon cachaça
- 1/2 oz Aperol liqueur
- 1/2 oz Grand Marnier
- dash of simple syrup
- blood orange, cut into chunks
- Champagne
With these ingredients, you're ready to make the Funky Diva; however, you'll also need to do the following which is suggested by Cocktail Times.com as well: " Muddle blood orange and simple syrup. Shake with all the ingredients except Champagne. Pour into a tall glass and top with Champagne."
