New York – On Saturday afternoon, GREY GOOSE officially kicked off summer with an exclusive Punch Brunch at recently opened Meatpacking hotspot, TOY. Hosted by Daniel Koch, owner of TOY and one half of the duo, the big New York brunch hit Day & Night, the event featured summertime punches prepared by GREY GOOSE. Each of the punches was made with a different GREY GOOSE flavor and incorporated fresh fruit; the perfect remedy for the hot and sunny Saturday weather.
Following the lively cocktail reception, guests were treated to the musical stylings of DJ Cassidy while they enjoyed their seated brunch. The decadent menu consisted of French toast stuffed with vanilla mascarpone, Chinese chicken salad, Napa cabbage and crispy wontons with citrus vinaigrette, poached eggs and short rib Hash with Béarnaise sauce, and cheesecake lollipops. Also during the seated portion of the afternoon, GREY GOOSE mixologists were on hand with custom drink carts, providing guests with a curated cocktail experience, creating tableside bespoke punches, made to order with fresh, local ingredients.
