Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 5 fresh sage leaves, separated
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • 1 barspoon fig spread or preserve (or 1/2 teaspoon)
  • 1 pinch fresh or dried lavender (optional)
  • 1/3-1/2 ounce maple syrup (I used WytchWood)
  • 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 1.5-2 ounces ginger beer (I used Q ginger Beer)
  • 1 piece star anise (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a Boston shaker, add sage, nutmeg, fig, lavender, and maple syrup. You may wish to muddle the sage into the other ingredients with the back of a wooden spoon or muddler, to better express its flavor.
  2. Add in lemon juice and ice. Close shaker, and shake until the outside of the shaker has a slight layer of condensation, letting you know your concoction is chilled. Set aside.
  3. Grab either stemmed glassware (if desired) or a glass filled with ice. Using a hawthorn and mesh strainer, strain your concoction from your shaker into the lightly rinsed glass. 
  4. Garnish with anise star and extra sage leaves.
