🧂 Ingredients

1 Begin by preparing a blackberry and sage simple syrup. Place 2 cups of sugar
and 1 cup of water in a pot and bring to a rolling boil.
2 Boil for 3 minutes to make sure all the sugar is dissolved, then add 1 cup of
blackberries.
3 Stir the blackberries in and some will dissolve. I stir for about an additional
3 minutes, until I still have a fair amount of blackberry pulp, but the mixture
is purpley black.
4 Add the 6 sage leaves cut into strips.
5 Stir to combine the sage, and then pour the entire mixture through a strainer
into a jar.
6 Chill for 2 hours or more.
7 In a cocktail shaker mix 1 shot of bourbon, 1 shot of ginger beer, and 1
tablespoon of the blackberry simple syrup.
8 Shake the cocktail mixture, and then pour through a strainer into a coupe glass.
9 Make some sugared blackberries by rolling fresh berries in granulated sugar.
Pierce two sugared berries with a cocktail pick, and add a sage leaf. Place on
top of glass, and serve.
