Notes

Pro Tips

  • To make sage-ginger syrup, simmer fresh sage leaves and sliced ginger with equal parts sugar and water, then strain.
  • For a lighter cocktail, reduce vodka and add more sparkling water.
  • Swap sparkling water for prosecco to give this spritz extra body and a celebratory feel.
