HONEY SYRUP
Combine 1 1/2 cups honey with 1 cup hot water and stir until fully dissolved. Let cool before using. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Botanical Gin
A botanical gin works beautifully here, enhancing the citrus and mint without overpowering the drink.
Mint Technique
Tear the mint instead of muddling to release flavor without bitterness.
Honey Balance
Honey syrup adds a soft, rounded sweetness that pairs naturally with lemon. Adjust slightly depending on how tart your lemons are.
Keep It Light
This drink is meant to be crisp and refreshing, so avoid over-sweetening. The balance should lean bright and clean.
Mocktail Option
Skip the gin and build with lemon, honey syrup, mint, and sparkling water. It’s just as refreshing and perfect for a non-alcoholic option.

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.
