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.
SPICED HIBISCUS SYRUP
We make our own for this one — it's ginger-forward, keeps in the fridge for up to three weeks, and works across a whole collection of cocktails. Full recipe here.
Hibiscus Flavor
Hibiscus brings a naturally tart, cranberry-like flavor and a rich ruby color that makes this mocktail feel special without being sweet.
Dried Hibiscus Flowers
Dried hibiscus flowers are used to make the syrup and also work beautifully as a garnish. → Link to dried hibiscus flowers
Seasonal Variation
If you prefer a brighter, lighter version for summer, you can make a simple hibiscus syrup without the warming spices. Steep dried hibiscus flowers in hot water, strain, then stir in sugar to taste. It is fresher and more straightforward, with less depth than the spiced version.
Citrus Balance
Fresh grapefruit and lime keep this drink crisp and refreshing. Adjust the lime slightly if your grapefruit is especially sweet or tart.
Ice Choice
Crushed or pebble ice softens the tartness and keeps the drink extra cold.

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.
