Elderflower Upgrade

A splash of elderflower liqueur adds sweetness and floral depth without overpowering the drink.

Wake Up Your Basil

Lightly slap basil leaves before shaking to release their natural oils and aroma.

Mocktail Version

Omit the alcohol and shake lemon juice with basil and a splash of honey syrup. Top with sparkling water for a fresh, alcohol-free twist.

The Right Glass

A coupe keeps this drink chilled and elevated. Try this set on Amazon for a similar look.

Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.

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.

Four nights.
No planning required.

Choose your menu, set the table, and enjoy the night.
