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.

Rosemary simple Syrup

Combine ½ cup water and ½ cup sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the rosemary sprig and let simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and steep for 15 minutes, then strain out the rosemary. Let cool completely before using. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Glassware

Serve in a tall Collins glass for an airy, refreshing sip. A stemless wine glass creates a cozier vibe.

Sparkling Choice

Use a crisp sparkling water for a lighter spritz or swap in Prosecco for celebratory bubbles.

Aromatics

Smack the rosemary sprig between your hands before garnishing to release beautiful herbal oils.

Make It a Mocktail

Skip the vodka and add a splash of white grape juice for a festive zero-proof version.

Batch for 6

Combine 9 oz vodka, 3 oz rosemary syrup, and 3 oz lemon juice in a pitcher. Chill, then top each glass with sparkling water when serving.

Seasonal Tip

Perfect as the first cocktail of the night, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations.

Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.

A ritual we return to

How We Really Plan Our Date Night Menus

Last week I was sick. Nothing dramatic — just that slow, foggy kind of under-the-weather that dulls your appetite and makes everything feel like too much. So that became the menu. And the moment we sat down to eat it, I thought — this is why we do it this way.
