Grapefruit and Sage Beverage Mix (Alcoholic or Non-alcoholic Version)
Donna Letier, the CEO and co-founder of Gardenuity, as well as an editor at The Sage, has shared her favourite end-of-summer cocktail and mocktail recipes for a festive Fourth of July.
One of the standout recipes from the article is a refreshing cocktail that combines the flavours of grapefruit juice, sage simple syrup, and bitters. To make the sage simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture simmers and the sugar is dissolved. Cook sage in the simple syrup for 30 seconds, then remove and discard it.
Once the syrup is room temperature, store it in a re-sealable container in the refrigerator. To prepare the cocktail, shake the grapefruit juice, sage simple syrup, and bitters with ice. Strain the mixture into a glass with fresh ice, and top the drink with champagne. Garnish the cocktail with fresh sage leaves.
For those who prefer a non-alcoholic option, the article also offers a delicious mocktail version of this recipe. Simply omit the champagne and enjoy the tangy and herbaceous flavours of the sage simple syrup and grapefruit juice.
In addition to these recipes, Donna Letier has picked out her favourite fall cocktails for the article. Whether you're hosting a Fourth of July party or just looking for a new drink to try, these recipes are sure to impress. So, grab your shaker and get mixing!
