½ ounce thyme simple syrup
2 ounces tonic water

Notes from the Bar
Thyme Simple Syrup
To make thyme simple syrup, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Add a few sprigs of fresh thyme and heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, let steep for 10 to 15 minutes, then strain and cool.
Balance Tip
The lemon juice is doing important work here. It brightens the apple and keeps the drink crisp rather than sweet. Stick close to the measurement for the best balance.
Tonic Choice
A clean, lightly bitter tonic works best. Avoid overly sweet or heavily flavored tonics, which can overpower the thyme.
Mocktail Note
This drink is fully non alcoholic and makes a beautiful alternative to a classic gin and tonic.

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.
We created this for you — and the one you love.
