Notes
We like to make this cocktail with a sage simple syrup. To make it: combine 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water and 8 large sage leaves in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Strain, discard sage leaves and used as desired. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For a regular simple syrup, leave the sage out.
