Talkhouse Encore is a newly launched ready-to-drink canned cocktail brand that "captures the essence" of the eponymously named dive bar in Long Island, New York. The new beverage line has gone live with four flavors: Cranberry Vodka Soda, Lime Vodka Soda, Blood Orange Tequila Soda, and Grapefruit Tequila Soda.
Talkhouse, the bar, is a highly intimate venue that has been home to legendary music and casual neighborhood drinks since 1987. According to the venue, Talkhouse is the smallest bar in America offering major musical acts; the venue has held shows for over 65 Rock n' Roll Hall of Famers.
“The canned beverages are inspired by late nights turned to early mornings – the songs and performances that illuminate the stage – and the cast of characters that turned into the family at a family-owned dive bar on the East End of Long Island,” said Ruby Honerkamp, Founder of Talkhouse Encore.
