Winter Spiced Daiquiri
A chilled, elegant daiquiri infused with citrus, warm spice, and a touch of allspice dram—smooth, bright, and perfect for holiday sipping.
Because every drink deserves a beautiful moment.
Ingredients
2 oz white rum (or aged rum for a deeper, warmer profile)
¾ oz fresh lime juice
½ oz allspice dram
¼ oz simple syrup
Optional: A tiny pinch of cinnamon or freshly grated nutmeg on top
Garnish: Lime wheel, dehydrated lime, or a star anise pod
Instructions
Add rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and allspice dram to a shaker filled with ice.
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, or until well chilled.
Strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.
Garnish with your choice of lime wheel, dehydrated citrus, or star anise.
Add a tiny pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if you want a warmer holiday finish.
Notes from the Bar
Rum Choice
White rum keeps this bright and refreshing, while aged rum adds deeper caramel and winter warmth.
Allspice Dram
At ½ oz, the spice becomes more pronounced but still balanced. If you want a softer spice note, reduce to ¼ oz.
Cinnamon/Nutmeg Tip
A micro pinch goes a long way. Think more aromatic than flavored.
Glassware
Serve in a coupe or Nick & Nora to highlight its elegant winter-gold color.
Ice Matters
Shake with cracked ice for the best dilution and texture.
Batch for 6
12 oz rum
4½ oz lime juice
3 oz simple syrup
3 oz allspice dram
Shake each serving individually over ice for proper chill and dilution.

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.
