COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
10 to 12 mint leaves
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 lime, cut into quarters
2 oz rum
Soda water, to top
Mint sprig, for garnish
Add the mint and sugar to a Collins glass and stir gently to coat the leaves. Add the lime pieces and gently muddle to release their oils and juice, then pour in the rum and give it a gentle stir. Fill the glass with crushed ice, top with soda water, and stir once more to combine. Garnish with a mint sprig.
NOTES FROM THE BAR

The “Slower” Method
Instead of heavy muddling, this recipe calls for a gentler approach, coating the mint in sugar and easing out the lime juice for a more delicate, balanced flavor.
Rum Choice
White rum is the classic pick, but aged rum adds depth and a subtle caramel note that’s delicious in cooler months.
Sugar Options
Granulated white sugar is standard, but raw sugar or demerara adds a richer flavor. You can also swap for simple syrup for easier mixing.
Ice Texture
Crushed ice makes this cocktail ultra-refreshing, but cubed ice works fine if that’s what you have.

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.
