this adds a ; which is like : but different.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hhline,colortbl}

The probelm comes from a\hhline which mixes simple and doublerule. A solution consists in making two simple \hhmines with a vertical space in-between:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hhline}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|c||p{2.5cm}|}
\hhline{~|-}
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{}& {\textbf{JANUARY}} \\[0.75ex]
\hhline{~|-}\noalign{\vspace*{\doublerulesep}}
\hhline{-||-}
\textbf{Su} & \\[0.75ex]
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
