COCKTAIL RECIPE

Makes 1 cocktail

2 oz fresh cucumber
3/4 oz honey syrup
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 oz cold water
2 dashes celery bitters
Soda water, to top

Make the honey syrup using the recipe in Notes from the Bar. Muddle the cucumber and honey syrup in a shaker until well broken down, then add the lemon juice, water, celery bitters, and ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a Collins or highball glass filled with fresh ice, top with soda water, and give a gentle stir. Garnish with a long cucumber ribbon and a celery leaf or lemon wheel.

Cucumber Prep

Leave the skin on the cucumber when muddling. The peel adds a deeper green color and a more pronounced fresh flavor to the mocktail.

Honey Syrup

Honey syrup is made by stirring equal parts honey and warm water until fully dissolved. This ensures the honey blends smoothly into the drink.

Celery Bitters

Celery bitters add a subtle savory backbone that balances the brightness of cucumber and lemon. Just a couple of dashes is enough. → Link to our celery bitters

Glass and Ice

This drink works beautifully over crushed or pebble ice, which keeps it extra cold and refreshing while softening the citrus.

Garnish Tip

Use a vegetable peeler to create a long cucumber ribbon. It adds visual interest and a light, fresh aroma as you sip.

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.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Couples: Why We Buy One Christmas Gift Together

Over the years, the gifts we’ve loved most have been the ones that became part of our everyday life together. Some were practical upgrades we probably would have put off buying, while others simply gave us another way to enjoy being at home together. Below are a few of the gifts we’ve actually given each other, followed by a handful of Christmas gift ideas for couples that we think would be fun to go in on together.

Our Favorite Pumpkin Spice Cocktails This Fall

We make a lot of fall syrups around here, but pumpkin spice is the one that keeps finding its way into everything. It started as one batch meant for a single cocktail, and by the end of the week we had used it in a bourbon sour, an espresso martini, and three drinks in between. The syrup comes together on the stovetop in about ten minutes, and once it is strained and chilled it works across almost any spirit in the cabinet. We linked every full recipe so you can go straight w
