COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz gin
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz honey syrup
1 tbsp fig preserves or 1 to 2 fresh figs
1 egg white, optional
Thyme sprig and fig slice, for garnish
Make the honey syrup using the recipe in Notes from the Bar. If using fresh figs, muddle them in a shaker; if using preserves, add them directly. Add the gin, lemon juice, honey syrup, and egg white and dry shake for 15 seconds to emulsify, then add ice and shake again until well chilled and frothy (skip the dry shake if you’re leaving out the egg white). Double strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass and garnish with a thyme sprig and a fig slice.
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.
Fresh vs. Preserves
Black Mission figs give a speckled look and rustic texture, while preserves make the drink smoother and more consistent.
Honey Syrup
Stir together equal parts honey and hot water until fully dissolved, then let cool before using. Honey syrup adds warmth and floral depth, keeping the cocktail lighter and less sugary than simple syrup. It keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Egg White Optional
The egg white creates a silky foam cap, but skipping it still delivers a delicious, balanced sour.
Herbal Accent
A fresh thyme sprig adds an earthy aroma with every sip that complements the gin’s botanicals.”

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.
