Cocktail Description
The Blueberry Sage Spritz combines botanical elegance with berry sweetness for a sophisticated sipper that tastes like summer in a glass.
This vibrant cocktail balances the earthiness of oolong tea and fresh sage with the bright sweetness of muddled blueberries and the floral notes of St-Germain. The vodka provides a clean canvas for these flavors to shine, while the lemon juice adds necessary acidity and the agave syrup rounds everything out with just the right touch of sweetness. Though it requires some patience—particularly if you opt for the full ten-minute tea steeping—the technique is straightforward enough for home bartenders willing to take a little extra time for excellence. It's perfect for warm-weather gatherings, particularly garden parties or sophisticated brunches where its purple-blue hue and aromatic sage garnish will catch admiring glances. Try pairing this refreshing spritz with light appetizers like goat cheese crostini, prosciutto-wrapped melon, or a summer salad with grilled peaches and burrata—the cocktail's balanced sweet-tart profile complements these dishes without overwhelming them.
