Other details: On Tuesday, July 15th, DC influencers came out to attend UrbanDaddy’s launch party for Le Melon, the latest flavor from Grey Goose, at The Graham Hotel in Georgetown. The party was part of a national ten-city event series entitled “Fruit of Kings” to celebrate the new flavor by toasting modern day “kings” who are shaking things up. Guests sipped on 4 different Le Melon specialty drinks as well as melon sorbet while mingling the Graham's intimate hotel bar. Guests also had fun with the high tech Le Melon photo booth while dancing to the event's DJ. The inspiration for the collaboration comes from the rich and intriguing history of the Cavaillon melon, selected by Grey Goose creator Maitre de Chai (Cellar Master) Francois Thibault to craft the exceptional new expression – Grey Goose Le Melon. The prized essence of the ripe, juicy Cavaillon melons, from Provence, France was said to be relished and sought after by French Kings, nobility and artists. Legend has it that kings traded gold for exclusive access to this treasured fruit.
