Blackberry Sage G+T's: Gin and tonics get a sweet upgrade with blackberries and sage simple syrup.

I love a good classic cocktail, and gin and tonics are one of my favorite. Classic cocktails are also a great base upon which to build new and interesting cocktail recipes. In my Blackberry Sage Gin and Tonics, the traditional gin and tonic drink gets a sweet upgrade with blackberries!

Will the winter be over soon? Here’s hoping! I’d like to think that making “spring-ish” drinks could help usher in the season sooner 🙂 These G+T’s are based on a traditional gin and tonic cocktail. Blackberries are muddled with a sage simple syrup and a little bit of lemon juice before adding gin. The drink is topped with San Pelligrino, but regular club soda or tonic water would also work if you prefer.

I also am a big fan of garnishes on my cocktails, and I saw this little trick in a BHG magazine recently. You take two toothpicks and stick them through your garnish with just a bit of space between them, and then slide it over the rim of the glass. And voila: a sophisticated looking garnish that doesn’t have to be readjusted each time you take a sip!
