sage cocktail sage
If you google sage cocktail, you get a bunch of results about people who think they are cocktail sages, sage colored cocktail napkins and sage colored cocktail dresses. Plus a couple of recipes :-/
My not terribly interesting experiment tonight yielded the information that you need a lot of sage, and it requires more muddling than either mint or basil do. I suppose the leaves are a bit tougher. Making a sage-infused syrup might be a better way to go, although I don't know if I want to be locked into making sweet drinks--I really want to figure out something more hearty, more appetizer than dessert. All I did tonight was muddle some sage with bourbon and top it off with some sparkling cider. I like the sage in the bourbon but the cider is much too sweet. But, it's a start, and I learned something about sage.
