COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz cucumber juice
1 1/2 oz tequila
1 oz fresh lime juice
3/4 oz jalapeño agave
1/2 oz Cointreau
Salt, for the rim
Lime wedge or cucumber ribbon, for garnish
Make the jalapeño agave and cucumber juice using the recipes in Notes from the Bar. Rim a rocks glass with salt and fill it with fresh ice. Add the cucumber juice, tequila, lime juice, jalapeño agave, and Cointreau to a shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a lime wedge or cucumber ribbon.
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.
Jalapeño Agave
Combine 1/2 cup agave and 1/2 sliced jalapeño in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, steep for 30 minutes, then strain and let cool. It keeps in the refrigerator for about a week.
Cucumber Juice
Roughly chop 1/2 English cucumber (no need to peel) and blend with a splash of water until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag. Fresh cucumber juice adds a cooling balance that bottled juice can’t match.
Balance the Heat
For a milder syrup, remove the seeds before slicing the jalapeño. For extra fire, let the syrup steep longer before straining.
Fresh Juice Matters
Homemade cucumber juice is worth the quick step. It adds a cooling balance that bottled juice can’t match.

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.
