Happy first week of fall! The weather still hasn’t made up its mind about which season we’re in with these warm days and cool nights, so we’ve picked a drink this week that’s a bridge between the two seasons. Fresh blackberries and rich notes of sage come together with our layered Mighty Gin in a drink that combines the brightness of summer fruit with the rich depth of autumn herbs.
Blackberry Sage Smash
1½ oz Mighty Gin
¾ oz Fresh Lemon Juice
¾ oz Sage Simple*
3 Blackberries
Muddle first three ingredients together, then add gin. Shake ingredients with ice, then fine-strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish with a sprig of sage or a blackberry on a pick. Cheers!
*To make the sage simple, substitute sage for basil in the basil simple recipe on our housemade-ingredients page.
