COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz blanco tequila
1 oz pineapple juice
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz hibiscus syrup
1/4 oz agave syrup, optional
Salt, for the rim
Make the hibiscus syrup using the recipe in Notes from the Bar. Rim a rocks glass with salt and fill it with crushed ice. Add the tequila, pineapple juice, lime juice, syrup, and agave if using to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with pineapple fronds and a dried hibiscus flower.

HOW TO MAKE HIBISCUS SYRUP
Combine 1 1/4 cups water and 1/2 cup dried hibiscus flowers in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and steep for 15 minutes, then strain. If needed, add a little extra water to bring the liquid back to 1 cup. Stir in 1 cup sugar and heat gently until dissolved. Let cool before using. → Shop our favorite dried hibiscus flowers.
PINEAPPLE JUICE — ADJUST TO TASTE
We use 3/4 to 1 oz depending on the sweetness of the pineapple. Start with 3/4 oz for a drink that's more floral and margarita-forward. Bump to 1 oz if you want a little more tropical sweetness.
AGAVE IS OPTIONAL
The 1/4 oz agave adds just enough sweetness to round everything out without overpowering the hibiscus. If your pineapple juice is very sweet, skip it entirely.
TEQUILA RECOMMENDATION
A clean blanco keeps this bright and lets the hibiscus and pineapple do the work. Espolòn or Olmeca Altos are our go-to everyday options.
SALT VS TAJÍN RIM
We used a simple salt rim here which lets the floral notes of the hibiscus come through cleanly. Tajín works too if you want a little extra kick.

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.
