Whiskey Sage – A Winter Cocktail
This handsome devil was a hit at our cocktail party. . .
If ever a drink had it all, this one is it!
This whiskey-sage cocktail has a complex and sophisticated flavor.
Not bad on the eye either!
Sexy.
Spicy rye whiskey lightly sweetened with a simple syrup infused with earthy sage, refreshingly tart grapefruit and lime juices, accented by a couple dashes of bitters to bring out the best in all of it!
