COCKTAIL RECIPE

Makes 1 cocktail

1 1/2 oz gin
3/4 oz Aperol
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
2 dashes rhubarb bitters
1 egg white
Lemon wheel, for garnish

Add the gin, Aperol, lemon juice, simple syrup, rhubarb bitters, and egg white to a shaker and dry shake vigorously for 10 seconds to build the froth. Add ice and shake for another 10 seconds until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with a lemon wheel.

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.

Why the Dry Shake?

Shaking without ice first (a “dry shake”) helps whip the egg white into a silky foam, giving the cocktail its signature frothy top.


Bitters for Balance

Rhubarb bitters add a subtle tartness and complexity that balances the sweetness of the Aperol and syrup. Don’t skip them—they really round out the drink.


Citrus Freshness

Freshly squeezed lemon juice is a must. Bottled lemon juice won’t deliver the same brightness.


Glassware Tip

Serve this cocktail in a chilled coupe glass for the perfect presentation—it keeps the foam intact and the drink crisp.

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.
