Cranberry Sage Spritz

The holiday table, in a glass.

  • 100% cranberry juice2
  • sage syrup0.5
  • fresh lime juice0.5
  • sparkling water3
  • ice
  1. 1.The Sage Infusion. Take the warm simple syrup off the heat before the sage goes in — six leaves, covered, fifteen minutes, then strained. Hot syrup cooks sage bitter; warm syrup just perfumes it.
  2. 2.Use the Honest Juice. Pour 100% unsweetened cranberry — check the label. If apple juice is listed first, it's the wrong bottle, and the drink will be candy.
  3. 3.Build over Ice. Cranberry, sage syrup, and lime juice over ice, stirred once from the bottom.
  4. 4.Top and Frost. Sparkling water, a sage leaf, and cranberries rolled in sugar for frost.
