Cool off, Knock It Off! Warren restaurant joins viral campaign

It started with T-shirts. Then came coffee, beer, personal protective equipment - even barbecue sauce. Now the wildly popular “Knock It Off” design created by a Warren-owned Providence store is on another product, a to go cocktail created by Katie Dickson of the Bywater restaurant on Water Street.

Bywater’s collaboration with Frog and Toad, the Providence store that has sold more than 10,000 “Knock It Off” and “Shut It Down” T-shirts since the beginning of the crisis, will be available for curbside pickup (order in advance) this coming weekend. As with all the other collaborators who have worked with Frog and Toad owners Asher and Erin Schofield on the ‘Knock It Off’ campaign, the Bywater product will be sold with 20 percent of proceeds going to benefit the Rhode Island Foundation’s Covid-19 Response Fund.

“We are beyond delighted” to launch the cocktail collaboration, Ms. Dickson wrote on Bywater’s Instagram page. “We hope you enjoy it (responsibly). Knock it off!

She describes the cocktail as “an unapologetically sweet n’ tart summer sipper: like an Aperol Spritz met a Cosmo, fell in love, and moved to Pawtucket.”

The order limit is one per customer, and one 12-ounce bottle makes two drinks.
