Notes from the Bar
Choose the Wine
A crisp, dry white wine works best here. Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc are perfect. Avoid wines that are too sweet, since the soda and fruit already add brightness.
Pimm’s Character
Pimm’s No. 1 is a gin-based liqueur with herbal and citrus notes. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, making this cocktail feel both refreshing and complex.
Make It a Pitcher
This drink scales up beautifully. Multiply everything by 4–6 and serve in a large pitcher for parties or warm-weather gatherings.
Seasonal Fruit Swaps
Swap in whatever fruit looks best at the market, peaches, raspberries, or even watermelon cubes are delicious additions.

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.
