Sage Gin Fizz Cocktail

Ingredients

Sage Gin Fizz

• 3 ounces high quality gin
• 3 ounces club soda
• 2 ounces honey, molasses, maple syrup, or homemade simple syrup
• 4-6 sage leaves

Homemade Healthy Simple Syrup

• 6 tsp honey, maple syrup, or molasses
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions

1. To make the Healthy Homemade Simple Syrup, add natural sweetener of your choice and 1/4 cup water to a small saucepan on low heat.
2. Stir until the sweetener dissolves.
3. Let cool before adding to cocktails. You'll only need a splash for most cocktails that have bitter flavors that need rounding out.
4. Dilute the mixture as needed. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week.
5. To make the Sage Gin Fizz, muddle sage leaves with gin and Homemade Simple Syrup or other natural sweetener.
6. Pour over ice, and add club soda.
7. Stir and garnish with extra sage.
