Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Muddler
  • Strainer
  • Jigger or measuring cup
  • Tall glass
  • Ice

Ingredients

For one serving, gather:

  • 6-8 fresh blackberries
  • 2-3 sage leaves
  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup
  • Club soda
  • Ice

Use ripe blackberries for the best flavor. Fresh sage leaves add a unique twist to the drink.

Instructions

  • Put blackberries and sage in the shaker. Muddle gently to release flavors.
  • Add vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
  • Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice.
  • Top with club soda and stir gently.
  • Garnish with a blackberry and sage leaf if desired.

This method mixes the flavors well and creates a balanced drink.

    Notes

    The drink can be made non-alcoholic by skipping the vodka and adding more club soda. For a sweeter version, use more simple syrup or add a splash of blackberry liqueur.
    The recipe can be doubled or tripled for larger groups. Prepare the blackberry-sage mixture ahead of time for easier serving at parties.
