Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1/2 oz blueberry sage simple syrup**
  • 1 sage leaf
  • garnish: sage sprig

Instructions
 

  • Rub the sage leaf along the inside of the cup and the rim of the glass. Add the simple syrup and bourbon to the cup. Fill with crushed ice and garnish with a sage sprig right next to the straw.

Notes

**Blueberry Sage Simple Syrup
  • 2 cups frozen wild blueberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup torn fresh sage leaves
Add sugar, water, and blueberries to a saucepan on the stove on medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the berries thaw and cook down. It’ll take about 10-15 minutes. Add the torn sage leaves, turn the heat to low for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat completely and let the sage steep in the syrup until it has cooled to room temperature. Strain and store in the fridge in a clean glass jar.
