Hamptons Social Hosts Summer Event To Celebrate Talkhouse Encore

On the evening of Friday, June 24, Hamptons Social (@hamptonssocial) in partnership with Talkhouse Encore hosted a celebratory event at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett. The gathering marked Talkhouse Encore’s official market launch this summer season and brought together a curated selection of local Hamptons brands.

Talkhouse Encore was founded by Ruby Honerkamp, the daughter of Peter Honerkamp, the owner and creative force behind Stephen Talkhouse. Talkhouse Encore’s refreshing canned cocktails have zero sugar, no preservatives, and channel the spirit and legacy of the Talkhouse. “I was inspired to start Talkhouse Encore when the pandemic hit and the doors were closed to my family’s bar — a place turned oasis that has been a home to so many for years. When we were confined to our homes, that sense of community was lost and my hope was that Talkhouse Encore could help re-imagine the idea of community and celebration through a new platform,” Honerkamp said.

Guests indulged in light bites and tastings at the legendary music venue. The festive atmosphere was decorated by Flowers by Beth, Petit Blue, and  Destination Haus that played off Talkhouse Encore’s color palette of red, yellow, pink, and green. DJ Kasey Berry provided the perfect soundtrack for the summer gathering.

Talkhouse Encore debuted four flavors of canned cocktails at the event — Lime Vodka, Cranberry Vodka, Grapefruit Tequila, and Blood Orange Tequila. Additional beverage sponsors included Hamptons Coconuts, Westhampton Beach Brewing Company and Bridgehampton Breeze.

Guests savored delicious rolled ice cream by Shmayley’s, personal pies by Autostrada’s brick oven mobile pizza truck, and treats by Little Ruby’s. Illustrator Trivia Hiller drew live fashion sketches of partygoer’s outfits, Firstport Company previewed their latest collection of unisex vintage souvenir apparel, and Terez provided gift bags.

Honerkamp said, “Talkhouse Encore’s DNA is rooted in community and bringing people together all while creating a platform and stage for others to celebrate. This summer party was an exciting opportunity to collaborate with Hamptons Social — a curator and destination for the Hamptons scene — to kick-off the summer in style and create an environment full of good times in the heart of Amagansett.”
