COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz bourbon
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz maple syrup
1 egg white
3/4 oz heavy cream
1 sage leaf
1 oz seltzer water, plus more to top
Lemon wheel and fresh sage, for garnish
Add the bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup, egg white, heavy cream, and sage leaf to a shaker with one large ice cube and shake for 15 seconds, then remove the ice and shake for another 10 to 15 seconds to build foam. Pour 1 oz seltzer water into a chilled Collins or highball glass and strain the cocktail over it. Freeze for 5 to 10 minutes to set the foam, then poke a small hole through the center with a straw or skewer and slowly top with more seltzer to raise the fizz dome. Garnish with a lemon wheel and fresh sage.
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.
Bourbon Choice
Use a mid-range bourbon with warm vanilla, caramel, or baking-spice notes. Overly smoky or high-proof styles can overwhelm the delicate maple-sage balance.
Maple Syrup Matters
Pure maple syrup (Grade A or B) provides the depth and warmth that simple syrup can’t replicate.
• If you prefer a sweeter drink: add an extra ¼ oz maple syrup.
• For a drier fizz: reduce by ¼ oz.
Egg White & Cream
The combination of egg white and heavy cream creates the signature velvety foam.
• If you prefer a lighter fizz: reduce cream to ½ oz.
• If avoiding egg whites: use 1 oz aquafaba for a vegan foam alternative.
Sage Flavor
Shaking with a fresh sage leaf infuses the cocktail with herbaceous, earthy aroma.
• For stronger sage flavor: muddle the leaf gently before adding other ingredients.
• For subtle aroma: simply drop the leaf in whole.
Bubble-Dome Technique
This cocktail’s visual drama comes from the slow pour of seltzer through the foam.
• Don’t skip the freezer rest — it helps stabilize the dome.
• If you don’t have large ice: shake without ice, then shake with 2–3 small cubes and strain quickly.

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.
