1/2 oz coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa
1/2 oz salted caramel syrup, such as Monin

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.

Brewed Espresso

Freshly brewed espresso creates the signature foamy top. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a Moka Pot works beautifully as a substitute.


Caramel Syrup Choice

Monin salted caramel syrup is well-balanced and not overly sweet, while Torani runs a bit sweeter. Either works. Choose according to your taste.


Finishing Touch

A light sprinkle of flaky salt cuts through the richness and enhances the salted caramel flavor.

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.
