Ingredients
- 2-3 fresh sage leaves
- 2 1/2 ounces micro-distilled gin
- 3 ounces ruby red grapefruit juice
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Ice
- Sugared red grapefruit wedge for garnish
Preparation
- 1 In a glass, add sage leaves and gin. Muddle gently, being careful not to bruise the sage too much; you simply want to release the natural oils and flavor into the gin. Allow to marinate for at least one minute.
- 2 Add ice, ruby red grapefruit juice, and shake in a shaker. Using a cocktail strainer, strain into martini glass.
- 3 Garnish with a ruby red grapefruit wedge that has been dipped in sugar.
