COCKTAIL RECIPE

Makes 1 cocktail

1½ oz bourbon

¾ oz fresh lemon juice

½ oz simple syrup

2 oz dry sparkling wine

1–2 oz sparkling water to top, optional

Add the bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 12-15 seconds, until well chilled, and strain into a chilled coupe. Top with the sparkling wine and sparkling water, if using, and garnish with a dried lemon wheel.

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.

SPARKLING WINE CHOICE

A dry sparkling wine like brut cava or prosecco keeps this from getting too sweet. Save anything with a rounder, fruitier profile for sipping on its own.


MAKE IT LIGHTER

If you want a slightly lower proof, more effervescent version, top with 1 to 2 ounces of sparkling water along with the sparkling wine. It stretches the drink without watering down the flavor.


BOURBON CHOICE

A bourbon with some citrus and spice notes plays especially well against the lemon here. Nothing too heavy on the oak, you want it to lift, not weigh down, the bubbles. → Shop our favorite coupe glasses

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.
