COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz vodka or gin
1/2 oz dry vermouth
1/2 oz olive brine, adjust to taste
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Green olives and rosemary sprig, for garnish
Lightly bruise the rosemary sprig to release its oils and add it to a mixing glass with the vodka or gin, dry vermouth, olive brine, and ice. Stir or shake until very well chilled, then strain into a chilled martini glass or coupe. Garnish with olives and a fresh rosemary sprig.
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.
Gin or Vodka
Both work beautifully here. Gin adds a more botanical layer that complements the rosemary, while vodka keeps it clean and brine forward.
Rosemary Technique
Gently bruising the rosemary is key. You want to release the aromatics without overpowering the drink.
Brine Balance
Start with ½ ounce of olive brine and adjust to your preference. Some like it lightly savory, others prefer a more pronounced dirty martini.
Stir vs Shake
Stirring will give you a smoother, more classic martini texture, while shaking creates a slightly colder, more diluted version. Both are great depending on your preference.
Garnish Tip
Use Castelvetrano olives for a slightly buttery, less sharp finish that pairs especially well with the rosemary.

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.
