Notes from the Bar
CARROT JUICE
You can purchase fresh carrot juice, or make your own by blending peeled carrots with a splash of water in a high-speed blender. Strain through a nut milk bag for a smooth finish. → Link to our favorite nut milk bags
GINGER SYRUP
For honey ginger syrup, combine 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup hot water. Add 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger and let steep 20 minutes. Strain before using. Store refrigerated for up to one week.
BALANCE
The very small pinch of salt sharpens the citrus and rounds out the honey. Do not skip it.
RIM TIP
A Tajín half rim gives each sip contrast without overwhelming the drink.
GLASSWARE
Serve in a rocks glass over fresh ice for a bold but balanced presentation.

Make It a Date Nite
This cocktail is part of something bigger for us. It's a ritual we return to week after week.
Each week, we create a Date Nite designed around one drink, one thoughtful menu, and the feeling of slowing down together. The kind of night where the table is set with intention, the music hums softly in the background, and the evening unfolds without rushing.
For this Date Nite, we’ve paired a cocktail with a cozy, make-ahead-friendly menu, so you can enjoy the process without spending the whole night in the kitchen. We also include little touches we love like timing notes, a head start option, and a playlist to set the mood. Feel to pair the meal with any of our cocktails.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. And turning an ordinary night at home into something that feels quietly special.
Each Date Nite includes a curated menu, cocktail pairing and a playlist, as well as another thoughtful extras like make-ahead tips, leftover ideas or table talk prompts to carry the night.
