A light, floral mocktail with soft honey sweetness and bright lemon. Clean, refreshing, and gently aromatic without being overpowering.
Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.

¾ ounce fresh lemon juice
2 dashes lavender bitters
4 to 5 ounces cold water

Add the honey syrup, lemon juice, and lavender bitters to a mixing glass.

Strain over fresh crushed or pebble ice in a chilled glass.
Top with cold water and give a gentle stir.
Garnish with a lemon wheel and a few dried lavender buds.
Notes from the Bar
Honey Syrup
Honey syrup is simply honey and warm water mixed in a 1 to 1 ratio until smooth. This helps the honey dissolve easily into cold drinks without settling at the bottom.
Lavender Option
For a stronger floral aroma, you can swap the honey syrup for lavender syrup. To make it, gently simmer 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon dried lavender buds for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, steep for 10 minutes, strain, and cool before using.
Lavender Bitters
Lavender bitters add depth without sweetness and keep the drink balanced. A few dashes go a long way.

Garnish and Syrup Use
The dried lavender buds used for garnish are the same ones we use to make syrup. They add a subtle scent as you sip.

Ice Choice
Crushed or pebble ice keeps this drink extra cold and refreshing, especially on warmer days.

Make It a Date Nite
This cocktail is part of something bigger for us. It's a ritual we return to week after week.
Each week, we create a Date Nite designed around one drink, one thoughtful menu, and the feeling of slowing down together. The kind of night where the table is set with intention, the music hums softly in the background, and the evening unfolds without rushing.
For this Date Nite, we’ve paired a cocktail with a cozy, make-ahead-friendly menu, so you can enjoy the process without spending the whole night in the kitchen. We also include little touches we love like timing notes, a head start option, and a playlist to set the mood. Feel to pair the meal with any of our cocktails.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. And turning an ordinary night at home into something that feels quietly special.
Each Date Nite includes a curated menu, cocktail pairing and a playlist, as well as another thoughtful extras like make-ahead tips, leftover ideas or table talk prompts to carry the night.
