DEW AS YOU LIKE
letherbee gin, italicus, lime, salt
Restaurant week begins in 2 days (our first at Lula!) We’re celebrating with a special collab featuring @letherbee gin, made on the Northwest side of Chicago by a former Lula hand.
A staple in our well, we love Letherbee for its classic structure, which pairs beautifully with Italicus rosolio di Bergamotto, an italian aperitivo built almost entirely around citrus and florals.
Rosolio translates to “dew of the sun”. It carries that early morning feeling we love throughout the glass. A touch of acid adds a lift, and a drop of saline keeps the two grounded. Together? Harmonious.
Restaurant week is dinner only, but this collab carries on during brunch as usual! So, dew as you like, morning or night 😉
Book a table on @resy . Give us a ring if you have questions. We’d love to see you.
🍎 If walking through an apple orchard was a martini…this is it.
Gin, apple brandies, and @Letherbee ’s Autumnal 2025 Apple Vermouth come together for a crisp, seasonal take on a classic. A little harvest in every sip.

Introducing 2025 Autumnal: Pomme Aperitif
*Apple Wine Fortified and Aromatized w/ Artichoke Distillate
*500mL, 18% ABV
*Serve chilled and refrigerate after opening
A spirited blend of Virtue Farm’s heirloom
apple wine with Letherbee’s aromatic
fortification of neutral grain spirit and
artichoke.
Straightforward and elegant, artichoke
echoes apple peel tannins and orchard
soil. The herbaceous spirit lays naturally on rich apple and notes of tropical
fruit, lifting complexity without
overpowering the palate.
This aperitif wine is great with food!
Enjoy chilled and straight, over ice, in a
spritz, or in a cocktail. It has an extended
shelf life, especially if refrigerated after
opening.
