COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
1 1/2 oz apple butter syrup
3 oz prosecco
1 1/2 oz club soda or seltzer
Dried apple slice and fresh thyme sprig, for garnish
Make the apple butter syrup using the recipe in Notes from the Bar. Fill a wine glass or large coupe with ice, then add the syrup and prosecco and top with club soda. Stir gently to combine and garnish with a dried apple slice and a fresh thyme sprig, if desired.
NOTES FROM THE BAR
Heads up: We may earn a small commission on products we’ve linked here. We only recommend the real-deal favorites from our kitchen.
APPLE BUTTER SYRUP
Whisk together 1/4 cup apple butter and 1/4 cup hot water until completely smooth. This makes enough syrup for 2 cocktails, so double it for a larger batch and refrigerate any leftovers. Unlike a standard simple syrup, apple butter syrup is made with equal parts fruit and water, so it adds rich apple flavor and a silky texture rather than intense sweetness.
BUILD IT GENTLY
Stir gently rather than shaking or stirring hard. This is a spritz, you want to keep as much bubble from the prosecco as possible.
PROSECCO MATTERS
A dry prosecco keeps this from tasting like straight apple juice. The apple butter syrup already brings plenty of sweetness, so a crisp, dry bottle balances it out.
DRIED APPLE GARNISH
We buy ours dried and ready to go, no dehydrator required. Look for slices thin enough to perch on the rim without weighing it down. → Shop our favorite dried apple slices
MAKE IT A BATCH
For a crowd, mix the apple butter syrup and prosecco together ahead of time and refrigerate. Add the club soda and ice glass by glass right before serving so it stays bubbly.

A RITUAL WE RETURN TO
Our cocktails are part of something bigger for us. They’re the beginning of Date Nite, a connection-centered experience we created to help you slow down, share a meal, and enjoy time with the one you love.
Each Date Nite is thoughtfully planned for you, so you are not stuck deciding what to cook or how to pull the night together. We pair one cocktail with a complete menu, a simple flow from prep to plate, and small details that make the evening feel easy and connected from start to finish.
It is not about perfection. It is about presence, and creating space to reconnect, whether that is with your partner or simply with yourself, over a really good meal.
