Parisian Flip
A classic Parisian-style flip made with gin, dry vermouth, fresh lemon, and egg white. Silky, citrus-forward, and softly elegant with a light, airy finish.
Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.
Ingredients
2 oz gin
¾ oz dry vermouth
¾ oz fresh lemon juice
½ oz simple syrup
1 egg white
1 dash orange bitters
Instructions
Add the gin, dry vermouth, lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white, and orange bitters to a shaker glass.
Dry shake for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
Add ice and shake again for 10 to 15 seconds until well chilled.
Double strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist.
Notes from the Bar
Egg White Texture
Dry shaking before adding ice creates a smooth, stable foam and gives the cocktail its signature silky texture.
Cocktail Term: Dry Shake
Dry shaking means shaking a cocktail without ice first. This helps fully emulsify the egg white, creating a smoother texture and a thicker, more stable foam. Ice is added afterward to properly chill the drink. → Link to our Boston cocktail shaker
Fresh Citrus
Freshly squeezed lemon juice makes a noticeable difference here. Bottled juice will flatten the brightness and the finish.
Vermouth Balance
Use a fresh, dry vermouth and store it in the refrigerator after opening. This cocktail relies on balance and clarity rather than intensity.
Bitters Tip
A single dash of orange bitters is enough to add depth without distracting from the lemon and gin.

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.
