Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Sage Ginger Simple Syrup
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, minced
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger
For the Fizz
- 1 teaspoon sage ginger simple syrup (more as desired for sweetness and flavor)
- 4-6 ounces blood orange soda
- 1 ounce your favorite vodka or gin (I like it either way!)
- Prosecco (or club soda)
- Fresh sage leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Make the sage ginger simple syrup: In a small pot, heat sugar, water, sage, and ginger to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, until sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain the syrup to remove the sage and ginger. Chill until completely cooled.
- Pour vodka or gin and syrup into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a glass (over ice if desired).
- Pour blood orange soda into glass and finish with Prosecco as desired (I definitely used more than a splash!). You can also use the more traditional club soda variation instead of Prosecco for the added bubble finish.
- Add a few sage leaves for garnish. Enjoy!
Notes
I used Prosecco instead of club soda because it adds more flavor, more bubbles, and more fun!
