Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz. Gin I used Spring 44
  • 1/4 oz. Yellow Chartreuse
  • 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz.) sage-infused honey syrup see attached recipe or below
  • ½ cup chunks of red delicious apple with peel but seeded
  • Sage leaf for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill a coupe glass by placing it in the fridge, freezer, or filling it with ice.

  2. Place the red apple chunks into a cocktail shaker, and using a muddler, smash and muddle the apple to make it into a coarse pulp.

  3. Add the gin, Yellow Chartreuse, fresh lemon juice, and sage-infused honey syrup to the muddled apple.
  4. Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for 10-20 seconds until the shaker is very cold.
  5. Double strain into the chilled coupe glass. This will take a bit more effort in straining than usual because of the muddled apple.
  6. Garnish with a sage leaf.
