Napoleon
A vibrant bourbon sour with a twist. Fresh raspberries, Campari, and an egg white foam create a cocktail that’s tart, fruity, and sophisticated.
Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.
Ingredients
1 ½ oz bourbon
½ oz vermouth
1 barspoon Campari
¾ oz lemon juice
½ oz simple syrup
4 raspberries
1 egg white
Instructions
Muddle raspberries and lemon juice in a shaker.
Add bourbon, vermouth, Campari, simple syrup, and egg white.
Dry shake (no ice) for 15–20 seconds to create froth.
Add ice and shake again for 15–20 seconds until well chilled.
Double strain into a coupe glass.
Garnish with fresh raspberries.
Notes from the Bar
Egg White Optional
Adds a silky froth and beautiful foam cap, but you can skip it for a lighter version—or substitute aquafaba for a vegan-friendly option.
A Touch of Campari
The barspoon of Campari brings just enough bitterness to balance the sweet and tart flavors without overpowering the drink.
Fresh Fruit is Key
Use ripe raspberries for best results—they lend natural sweetness and vibrant color to the cocktail.
Vermouth Choice
Sweet vermouth will give this drink a richer depth, while dry vermouth makes it a bit brighter and more crisp.

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.
