Happy Hour: Sage Gin Fizz Cocktail
This post is also available in / Esta entrada también está disponible en ESPAÑOL (SPANISH)
When it comes to gin, tonic and a squeeze of lime was my go to mix. In the search for interesting and new ingredients to mix up cocktails, I’ve been finding great mixes like this one, which is especially delicious and refreshing. Personally, I don’t like sweet drinks so this combination seemed appealing.
Sage is very fragrant, and I find it has a hint of a minty flavor to it. To flavor your drink, muddle a few leaves for each glass together with your gin and simple syrup. I used a small wooden spoon to do it, and it worked perfectly.
As for the simple syrup, I prefer to use good old sugar and water for mine. You can also opt to make it with honey: Use the same procedure, except use 6 tablespoons honey for ½ cup of water.
We’d love to know if you give this one a try!
Cheers!
