Mezcal, fresh grapefruit, and lime topped with soda — a Paloma with a smoky edge that deepens the citrus without overpowering it.

This cocktail is part of our Date Nite collection, made to be sipped while you cook together.​

1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz agave syrup

Flavor Profile

Bright, citrusy, and lightly smoky, this cocktail strikes a perfect balance of sweet, tart, and earthy.


Spirit Swap

Use 1 oz mezcal and 1 oz reposado tequila for a less smoky flair that keeps the depth of flavor.


Glassware

A Collins glass or highball works beautifully to showcase the drink’s pale pink hue.


Seasonal Fit

This cocktail shines in spring and summer, but its smoky edge also makes it a standout during fall gatherings.

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.
