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.
Tequila Choice
Use Blanco tequila for a bright, crisp finish or Reposado for added warmth and subtle spice. Either works beautifully depending on your mood and menu.
Rim Options
Salt brings out the lime and balances the tart cranberry, while sugar enhances the drink’s festive sweetness. A half-and-half rim is the perfect compromise if you’re serving a crowd.
Make It Sparkle
Top each glass with a splash of sparkling water or soda for a light, fizzy finish, or skip the bubbles and add a pinch of edible glitter for a holiday shimmer without changing the flavor.
Cranberry Juice Tip
100% cranberry juice gives this cocktail a tart, sophisticated edge. For something softer, use cranberry cocktail or blend the two to taste.
Seasonal Tip
This cocktail transitions seamlessly from Thanksgiving through New Year’s and adds a cheerful pop of color to any winter gathering.
Batch for 6
Combine 12 ounces tequila, 6 ounces cranberry juice, 3 ounces triple sec or Cointreau, 4½ ounces lime juice, and 1½ ounces agave in a pitcher. Stir well and refrigerate until chilled. Shake or stir individual servings with ice before pouring.

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.
