100ml tequila
200ml pineapple juice
30ml lime juice
3-5 drops bitters
½ pack fresh sage
500g white sugar
1 fresh sage leaf
Start by making the sage syrup; pour 500ml boiling water on the bunch of sage leaves in a bowl and let them sit for 5 minutes. Remove the sage, then add sugar to the infused water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Leave to cool completely.
To make the cocktail, put 15ml of the sage syrup into a cocktail shaker along with a handful of ice and all the other ingredients. Shake together and serve straight up in a sherry glass, garnished with a sage leaf. You can also add a little chilled sparkling water for a lighter finish.
