Cocktails & Conversation
What you'll do
An afternoon together without distractions. Mix two classic drinks and trade the questions you never get to ask.
- Pick a rough plan, not a rigid one.
- Order or make a few things to share.
- Take turns choosing the next bite or stop.
- Rate your favorites before you leave.
What you'll need
Two spirits, citrus, ice, a shaker or jar
Make it better
- Each of you picks one dish the other would never order.
- Keep a running 'best bites' list on your phone.
- End with a dessert neither of you has tried.
