CADILLAC SOLLEI CONCEPT
Kakos has been lucky to get 3 visits from the Cadillac Celestiq before it was even released (see older posts). Kakos also recently posted pics of a beautiful 1959 Cadillac that was so futuristic for that time. Coincidentally, a little birdie from Cadillac shared some of these pictures of the Sollei Convertible Concept. The Sollei is even more mesmerizing than the Celestiq if that is possible. Something about a convertible is so liberating. We hope that we get a visit form the Sollei in the near future. Meanwhile enjoy these gorgeous pics until you see one at Kakos. Thank you Team Cadillac.
Sincerely,
Joseph Kakos

BIG BHAKTA BOURBON PARTY LAST NIGHT
Thank you to everyone that turned out last night for the Bhakta 2014 Vintage Bourbon release. People couldn't seem to get enough of this delicious bourbon. The numbers don't lie 9 years of aging, 125 days secondary finish in 50 Year Old Armagnac, and ONLY 9000 bottles for the whole world. PAPPY VAN WINKLE makes 84,000 bottles a year. Which one do you think is MORE RARE. So many of our clients were excited to hear about our next Bhakta Project. BHAKTA is THE BEST, because they really help us create some tailor made projects FOR YOU.
Sincerely,

How To Make:
2oz. Vodka
1oz. Pineapple Juice

THE CADILLAC "CELESTIQ" OF 1959
This 1959 Cadillac Convertible belongs to one of our clients that has GREAT TASTE in CARS, SCOTCH, and Liquor Purveyors. This car is so breathtaking in person, it reminded us of the Cadillac Celestiq in terms of SHEER LUXURY, and DESIGN. So many fun details about this car, including the tailfins, the ashtray in the back seat, and of course the loooong lines. The trunk is enormous! We hope you enjoy this bit of automotive nostalgia from Kakos.
Sincerely,
Joseph Kakos

CELEBRATE THE OLYMPICS WITH SANCERRE
The Olympics are considered to be the ultimate in refined and elevated sports. The same can be said about Sancerre wine. This is Sauvignon Blanc refined and elevated to create a silky, soft profile, with an elegant burst of delicate citrus at the very end of the palate. This is such a refreshing SUMMER WINE. Pairs well with chicken, salmon, and summer salads. BTW, if you are in Paris, there is a charming restaurant in the Le Marais neighborhood called Sancerre. Le Garenne ($29.99) is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of a DELICIOUS, AFFORDABLE, Sancerre. Enjoy it at Kakos.
Cheers,
Joseph Kakos

LA VIE EN ROSE (PINK) OLYMPIC COCKTAIL
It is HOT in Paris just like here in Michigan. One of the FUN REFRESHING COCKTAILS that you find in Paris is a ROSE PAMPLEMOUSSE. Just a simple cocktail of grapefruit liqueur + bubbles = summertime in Paris. With a cocktail this simple, use a good French sparkling wine (available at Kakos) and garnish with a grapefruit wedge. Makes the Olympics even more charming to watch.
Instructions: Combine 1 ounce pamplemousse and 4-5 ounces French sparkling wine. Garnish with a long grapefruit peel — twisting the peel over the top of the drink to spray its citrus oils all over.
Cheers,
Joseph Kakos

PARIS OLYMPICS LILLET SPRITZ

THE RUMORS ARE NOT TRUE
For some reason, people thought that Hulk Hogan was making an appearance at Kakos Market today. THIS IS NOT TRUE. While we appreciate the art of Professional Wrestling, we had no plans of having Hulk Hogan here. But Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is another story for various reasons. Stay tuned for more information on his visit to Kakos Market, where you get the BEST EXPERIENCE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRIDA KAHLO!
Frida Kahlo continues to inspire people in 2024 with her creativity and strength. She spent one of the most devastating years of her life in Detroit, when her husband Diego Rivera was painting the "Detroit Industry" murals. These are two of my favorite quotes by Frida that really describe her personality. Happy Birthday Frida.

EMPRESS 1908 GIN IS IN!!!!!!! After years of waiting for this product, it is finally here in Michigan. Kakos is your source for the Empress 1908 Gin, which makes the most beautiful cocktails you could ever imagine. The secret is that the gin reacts to the different Ph levels in your cocktails. That means the acidity levels from lemons, limes, pineapple or any other ingredients, will cause the color to change from indigo, purple all the way to a light pink. The gin is delicious by itself, on the rocks, or with just a bit of Fever Tree Tonic. The video posted here from Empress, shows what we think is the prettiest cocktail using the Gin. There are many other recipes on the Empress Gin website that will make you so happy. Kakos loves helping make the world a little prettier place, even through your drinks. Cheers! #Kakos #Kaksomarket #Michigan #Gin #empress1908gin #beautifulcocktails #trending #alwaystrending #onlyatKakos #newitems #ginandtonictime #fevertreetonic #tonic #craftcocktails #itsfiveoclocksomewhere #kingsofspirits
