A bright, citrus-forward mocktail with fresh grapefruit, lemon, and a soft herbal note from rosemary syrup — lightly sparkling and quietly sophisticated.
This cocktail is part of our Date Nite collection, made to be sipped while you cook together.
COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
3/4 oz rosemary syrup
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
2 dashes Angostura or grapefruit bitters
3 to 4 oz soda water
Grapefruit wedge and rosemary sprig, for garnish
Make the rosemary syrup using the recipe in Notes from the Bar. Add the grapefruit juice, rosemary syrup, lemon juice, and bitters to a shaker with ice and shake briefly until chilled. Strain into a wine glass or large coupe filled with fresh ice, top with soda water, and give a gentle stir. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge and a sprig of rosemary.
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.
Rosemary Syrup
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add 3 fresh rosemary sprigs and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, steep for 15 minutes, then strain and let cool completely before using. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For a stronger rosemary flavor, steep a little longer.
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.

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.
