If you’ve spent a weekend or more out East, you may have started (or ended) your night at the legendary Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett. The local family-run dive bar and venue has held shows with some of the most iconic musicians of the day from Coldplay and Mumford & Sons to Billy Joel and Paul McCartney. It's a local mainstay that's certainly earned its status as an iconic institution throughout the decades.
Ruby Honerkamp, daughter of owner Peter Honerkamp is keeping the family legacy going through her new beverage brand, Talkhouse Encore. The ready-to-drink canned cocktails capture the essence of rock 'n' roll Hamptons summers in beverage form, to be enjoyed everywhere, year-round.
Inspired to find a way to keep the party going during the bar's closure due to COVID in 2020, Ruby created her spiked sodas that now include flavors like Lime Vodka, Cranberry Vodka, Grapefruit Tequila, and Blood Orange Tequila, which can be found across New York and are available for shipping to 32 U.S. states.
As Stephen Talkhouse celebrates its 35th anniversary, Ruby plans on expanding her brand alongside the family business, fueling local economic development and providing job opportunities for employees between both businesses. More summer, more spiked soda, more Talkhouse for everyone! Find it HERE!
