How to Make a Sage Martini With Apple
Herbs are good for more than just cooking. You can also use fresh herbs to flavor some delicious homemade cocktails. In this video, Iʼm going to share with you my recipe for a sage martini with apple.
What you need:
- 1 cup of ice
- 4 parts gin
- 2 parts vodka (I use Grey Goose)
- 3 parts apple juice
- 1 part simple syrup
- 4 sage leaves
- martini shaker
The first thing you need to do is make yourself some simple syrup. Donʼt worry, its literally very simple to make. Just boil equal parts sugar and water until itʼs completely dissolved together, and remove from the heat to cool. Put one part syrup in the martini shaker, and add your 4 sage leaves, tearing tearing them in half first to release the flavor. Then muddle the leaves around with the syrup using a muddler or the bottom of a wooden spoon.
Add ice, and then the rest of your ingredients and cover up the shaker. Shake well until the flavors combine and the drink is ice cold. Pour into a martini glass, and garnish with a wedge of apple. Enjoy!
