COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz bourbon
½ lime, cut into 4–6 wedges
2 tsp packed light brown sugar
Muddle the lime wedges and brown sugar firmly in a rocks glass to release the juice and dissolve the sugar. Add the bourbon, fill the glass with crushed ice, and stir well to combine and chill. Garnish with a dried lime 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.
MUDDLING TECHNIQUE
Muddle the lime and sugar firmly enough to release the juices and oils from the peel, but not so hard that you shred the pith. About 10 to 15 presses is usually enough.
BOURBON CHOICE
A mid range bourbon with some spice and vanilla works best here. Save your sipping bourbon for a neat pour, this drink is built for the muddled citrus and sugar to shine alongside it.
CRUSHED ICE MATTERS
Crushed ice melts faster than cubes, which dilutes the drink slightly and keeps it colder as you sip. If you don't have crushed ice on hand, pulse regular cubes in a kitchen towel with a rolling pin.
GARNISH OPTION
A dried lime wheel adds nice texture and holds up well for photos, but a fresh lime wedge works just as well if that's what you have.

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.
