COCKTAIL RECIPE

Makes 1 cocktail

2 oz white or aged rum
3/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz allspice dram
1/4 oz simple syrup
Pinch of cinnamon or freshly grated nutmeg, optional
Dehydrated lime and cranberries, for garnish

Add the rum, lime juice, allspice dram, and simple syrup to a shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 12 to 15 seconds until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with a lime wheel, dehydrated lime, and finish with a tiny pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if you’d like a warmer holiday note.

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
1 1/2 oz simple syrup
3 oz allspice dram
Shake each serving individually over ice for proper chill and dilution.

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.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Couples: Why We Buy One Christmas Gift Together

Over the years, the gifts we’ve loved most have been the ones that became part of our everyday life together. Some were practical upgrades we probably would have put off buying, while others simply gave us another way to enjoy being at home together. Below are a few of the gifts we’ve actually given each other, followed by a handful of Christmas gift ideas for couples that we think would be fun to go in on together.

What 900 Square Feet Taught Me About Small Space Living

Our Favorite Pumpkin Spice Cocktails This Fall

We make a lot of fall syrups around here, but pumpkin spice is the one that keeps finding its way into everything. It started as one batch meant for a single cocktail, and by the end of the week we had used it in a bourbon sour, an espresso martini, and three drinks in between. The syrup comes together on the stovetop in about ten minutes, and once it is strained and chilled it works across almost any spirit in the cabinet. We linked every full recipe so you can go straight w
