Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Coopers' Craft Barrel Reserve Bourbon
  • ¾ oz Blueberry Sage syrup** or Blueberry Cinnamon***, see below
  • ¾ oz lemon juice
  • 1 egg white or ¾ oz aquafaba
  • 2 sage leaves
  • 2 dashes bitters, optional I used Rosemary-Grapefruit-Peppercorn
  • Garnish: sage leaf, fresh blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Combine bourbon, blueberry syrup, lemon juice, egg white, 2 torn sage leaves, and optional bitters in a shaking tin and add ice. Shake 10-12 seconds, then strain into a chilled mixing glass or shaking tin. Use a hand-held latte whisk on the mixture for 20 seconds, then pour into your chilled serving glass. Garnish with a sage leaf. If you don’t have a latte whisk, dry shake with the egg and 1-2 cubes for 30 seconds, then add ice and shake for another 20-30 seconds. Strain into the chilled coupe glass.

Notes

**Blueberry Sage Syrup
For this savory syrup, I used 
  • 2 cups wild blueberries, frozen
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup torn fresh sage leaves
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
Add blueberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan on medium heat. Let the sugar dissolve and the berries cook down for about 10-15 minutes. Add the sage and black pepper. Turn heat to lowest setting for 5 minutes, then turn off the burner. Let the spices steep until the syrup cools. Strain into a glass jar and keep it in the fridge.
***Blueberry Cinnamon Syrup
  • 2 cups wild blueberries, frozen
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 4 cinnamon sticks, cracked
Add blueberries, sugar, and water to a saucepan on medium heat. Let the sugar dissolve and the berries cook down for about 10-15 minutes. Add the cinnamon sticks. Turn heat to lowest setting for 5 minutes, then turn off the burner. Let steep until the syrup cools. Strain into a glass jar and keep it in the fridge.
