Fishers Island Lemonade Makes New York City Debut

Fishers Island Lemonade, the all-natural cocktail-in-a-can, is now available in several New York City bars and restaurants, wine shops, and online delivery services. The drink, which is a mixture of premium vodka, whiskey, natural lemon and honey, can be enjoyed straight from the can, mixed with other flavors, or even warmed and served like a hot toddy.

Fishers Island Lemonade is now being served at the following locations:

• Ditch Plains oyster bar & fish shack in the West Village
• Pizza Beach Malibu-themed pizzeria in the Upper East Side & Lower East Side
• Grey Lady oyster bar in the Lower East Side
• Bob's Your Uncle neighborhood bar in the Upper West Side
• Lolo's Seafood Shack featuring Caribbean barbecue in Harlem
• Yale Club in Midtown

The following online and retail shops are also selling four-packs of the cocktail’s signature yellow- and white-striped cans:

• Bottlerocket Liquors in the Flatiron District, Westport, Conn., and online.
• Acker Wines on the Upper West Side
• Columbus Avenue Wine & Spirits on the Upper West Side
• Fresh Direct online grocery delivery service

The cocktail was developed by Bronya Shillo and is based on the house drink she served while bartending at her family’s bar, The Pequot Inn, which is also Fishers Island’s only bar. It has been available online and in select Northeast markets since 2015 and has become a popular choice to bring to parties, picnics, sporting events, or any boating activity.

“As we continue to introduce Fishers Island Lemonade to new markets, we are excited that the reaction is so positive,” Shillo said. “Just like we originally saw at The Pequot Inn, people love this delicious drink and appreciate the chance to have it at their favorite bar or restaurant. Of course, many people also love being able to take our convenient cocktail-in-a-can out with them as a fun and refreshing drink.”

The company also is encouraged by internet sales which are coming in from across the country. The versatile drink is being enjoyed in every region and during every season, and customers are looking forward to more local availability.

Fishers Island Lemonade comes in a vintage-inspired yellow- and white-striped can which reflects the beach locale of The Pequot Inn, where the recipe originated. The company supports environmental organizations through ONE percent For the Planet, along with the Henry L. Ferguson Museum, which preserves, protects, and educates people about the local and natural history of Fishers Island.
