Cocktail Description
The Grapefruit Sage Daiquiri is a sophisticated study in contrasts, balancing bright citrus notes against herbal depth and rum's gentle warmth.
This elegant cocktail transforms the classic daiquiri formula by introducing pink grapefruit's bittersweet punch alongside the unexpected savory character of fresh sage. The combination of Plantation 3 Stars white rum provides a clean, crisp foundation while pineapple juice adds tropical sweetness that's perfectly tempered by Campari's distinctive bitterness. Honey syrup rounds everything out with a smooth, floral sweetness that binds these bold flavors together. Relatively straightforward to prepare with basic shaking technique, this cocktail shines as a pre-dinner aperitif or a refreshing option for warm summer evenings on the patio. The complex flavor profile makes it an excellent companion to Mediterranean dishes featuring herbs and citrus, particularly grilled seafood or light pasta dishes with olive oil and fresh herbs.
