Red wine and gin with dry curaçao, lemon, and seasonal fruit — a lighter, more botanical take on sangria that's as good by the glass as it is by the pitcher.

This cocktail is part of our Date Nite collection, made to be sipped while you cook together.​

COCKTAIL RECIPE

Makes 1 cocktail

1 1/2 oz gin
3/4 oz dry curaçao
3/4 oz simple syrup
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
4 1/2 oz semi-bold red wine
Seasonal fruit, for garnish

Add the gin, dry curaçao, simple syrup, and lemon juice to a wine glass and fill it with ice. Top with the red wine, stir gently to combine, and garnish with seasonal fruit.

NOTES FROM THE BAR

Go With the Season

This sangria is endlessly versatile. Use citrus in winter, berries in summer, stone fruit in late summer. Grab whatever's ripe and ready.


Batch for 6

Combine 9 oz gin, 4 1/2 oz dry curaçao, 4 1/2 oz simple syrup, 4 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice, and 27 oz red wine (about one bottle plus a splash) in a pitcher. Add sliced seasonal fruit and chill. Pour over ice when serving.


Wine Matters

Use a semi-bold red wine that plays well with fruit. Think Spanish reds, zinfandel, a cabernet blend, or even a grenache.

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.
