A bright, citrus-forward mocktail with fresh grapefruit, lemon, and a soft herbal note from rosemary. Lightly sparkling, refreshing, and perfectly balanced.
Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.

2 dashes Angostura or grapefruit bitters
3 to 4 ounces soda water
Instructions
Add the grapefruit juice, rosemary syrup, lemon juice, and bitters to a shaker.

Notes from the Bar
Rosemary Syrup
Rosemary syrup adds depth and a subtle savory edge. To make it, simmer 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and a few rosemary sprigs for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, steep for 10 minutes, strain, and cool before using.
Bitters Choice
Angostura bitters add warmth and complexity, while grapefruit bitters keep the drink extra bright and citrus-forward. Both work beautifully depending on your preference.
Fresh Citrus
Freshly squeezed grapefruit and lemon juice make a noticeable difference here. Bottled juice will flatten the flavor.
Bubbles
Finish with well-chilled soda water for a clean, refreshing lift. The lighter the carbonation, the more the rosemary and citrus can shine.
Garnish Tip
Lightly clap the rosemary sprig between your hands before garnishing to release its aroma without overpowering the drink.

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.
