Cook Time:
5 minutes
Servings:
1 cocktail
Ingredients
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • One 1-inch pieces of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 6 sage leaves, bruised, stems included
  • 1½ ounces vodka
  • 1 ounce pear juice
  • ¼ ounce ginger-sage simple syrup
  • ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
Directions
  1. Make the ginger-sage simple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the water, sugar, ginger and sage. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before straining the syrup into an airtight container. Store the simple syrup in the refrigerator until ready to use. Make ahead: The syrup can be made up to a week in advance.
  2. Make the cocktail: In an ice-filled cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, pear juice, simple syrup, lemon juice and bitters. Shake vigorously and strain into a coupe and serve.
