COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
4 to 5 pomegranate seeds
2 oz bourbon
1/2 oz pomegranate juice
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup or spiced syrup
1 to 2 oz soda water, optional
Rosemary sprig, orange twist, and pomegranate seeds, for garnish
If using spiced syrup, make it using the recipe in Notes from the Bar. Gently muddle the pomegranate seeds in a shaker, then add the bourbon, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and syrup with ice and shake until well chilled. Strain into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice and top with soda water, if using. Garnish with a rosemary sprig, an orange twist, and a few extra pomegranate seeds.
NOTES FROM THE BAR
Heads up: We may earn a small commission on products we’ve linked here. We only recommend the real-deal favorites from our kitchen.
Syrup Choice
Use simple syrup for a clean flavor, or try our spiced syrup: simmer ½ cup water, ½ cup sugar, cinnamon stick + cloves for 5 min; strain.
Bourbon Choice
A high-rye bourbon gives the cocktail a spicier backbone. Sweeter bourbons make it rounder and more dessert-like. Use what you love.
Garnish
The rosemary sprig adds aroma and a festive evergreen note. The orange twist brightens the bourbon and ties in the citrus.
Ice options
Crushed ice works best — it keeps the drink cold but allows the flavors to open up as it melts.
Glassware
Serve in a short rocks glass to showcase the cocktail’s rich, jewel-tone color.
Batch for 6
Combine 12 oz bourbon, 3 oz pomegranate juice, 3 oz lemon juice, and 3 oz syrup in a pitcher. Stir well and refrigerate until chilled. Shake or stir individual servings with ice before pouring.
Seasonal Tip
This cocktail transitions perfectly from fall gatherings to festive winter celebrations.

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.
