We don’t think there’s a better date night than a slow, intentional meal at home. Drinks perfectly paired with each course, shared with company that feels just right, whether that’s your partner, your best friend, a family member, or even the quiet pleasure of your own company. Taking the time to savor a meal like this is exactly the kind of moment worth pausing for.
The Perfect Pair is your ticket to a three-course night in, no reservation required. We curated three cocktails designed to accompany a full meal from first sip to final bite, and we've even included the perfect garnish pairing for each drink.
No rushing. No rules. Just a thoughtful journey from start to finish.

Pairs well with: slow-braised short ribs, roasted squash pasta, or any cozy, savory centerpiece.
