Build Your Drink

Ingredients

2 oz gin
1 oz strawberry shrub
½ oz lemon juice
½ oz lime juice
¾ oz heavy cream
1 egg white
4 drops food-grade rosewater
4 drops saline solution*
1 oz soda water (in bottom of glass)
Fresh mint sprig, for garnish

*To make saline: mix 80g water with 20g kosher salt, or use a small pinch of salt.

Cocktail Method

Shake all ingredients (except soda water) with a large ice cube until well chilled.
Discard ice and shake again (dry shake) to build the foam.
Pour 1 oz soda into the bottom of a chilled Collins glass.
Double strain cocktail over the soda.
Freeze 5–10 min to set the foam.
Poke a hole in the foam and add a touch more soda for a dramatic dome.
Garnish with a mint sprig.

Prep Ahead, Impress Later

This cocktail uses our homemade strawberry shrub that’s well worth the wait. We let it sit in sugar for a full day before adding vinegar, so plan to make it ahead.

That Signature Dome

The foam dome takes a little technique but creates a wow factor every time. Don’t skip the dry shake, the soda-under-pour, and that final trickle of fizz to lift the top.

Creamy but Light

Even with heavy cream and egg white, this drink finishes airy and bright. It's perfect for spring or summer when you want something impressive but not too heavy.

Food-Grade Rosewater

Be sure to use food-grade rosewater when mixing drinks—not cosmetic or fragrance versions. We love and recommend the Cortas brand for a delicate floral note that’s cocktail-safe and delicious.

Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.

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.

Four nights.
No planning required.

Choose your menu, set the table, and enjoy the night.

That's when we toast, and honestly, that's the moment Date Nite officially be

How We Really Plan Our Date Night Menus

Last week I was sick. Nothing dramatic — just that slow, foggy kind of under-the-weather that dulls your appetite and makes everything feel like too much. So that became the menu. And the moment we sat down to eat it, I thought — this is why we do it this way.
