The Blackberry Sage Cocktail
I thought I would try this one in video. Sorry you have to watch my ugly mug, but the cocktail recipe is worth it!!
By the way, I shrank the size of the video for this blog skin. If you want to see a larger version, click on the viewer to watch it on YouTube.
For those of you who don’t want to watch, here is the recipe:
4 parts vodka
1 part sage-infused simple syrup
1 part apple juice
6 fresh blackberries
For the simple syrup, bring 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar to a simmer, dissolving the sugar. Add two sprigs of fresh sage and simmer for several minutes until aromatic (don’t boil the syrup.) Remove sage and allow to cool.
Muddle blackberries in a shaker. Add the ingredients and plenty of ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
