Notes from the Bar
Rosemary Syrup
Homemade syrup makes all the difference. Simmer sugar, water & rosemary for 5 minutes, then strain. Store 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.

Make It a Date Nite
This cocktail is part of something bigger for us. It's a ritual we return to week after week.
Each week, we create a Date Nite designed around one drink, one thoughtful menu, and the feeling of slowing down together. The kind of night where the table is set with intention, the music hums softly in the background, and the evening unfolds without rushing.
For this Date Nite, we’ve paired a cocktail with a cozy, make-ahead-friendly menu, so you can enjoy the process without spending the whole night in the kitchen. We also include little touches we love like timing notes, a head start option, and a playlist to set the mood. Feel to pair the meal with any of our cocktails.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. And turning an ordinary night at home into something that feels quietly special.
Each Date Nite includes a curated menu, cocktail pairing and a playlist, as well as another thoughtful extras like make-ahead tips, leftover ideas or table talk prompts to carry the night.
