Cocktail Description
The Sage Martini brings an aromatic garden twist to a classic cocktail, elevating your aperitif with herbaceous sophistication.
This elegant variation combines the botanical punch of fresh sage with clean Ketel One vodka, complemented by the subtle complexity of dry vermouth and the gentle sweetness of pressed apple juice. The result is a beautifully balanced cocktail with bright, savory notes upfront that give way to crisp apple freshness and a smooth finish. It's straightforward to prepare—requiring just a gentle muddling of sage before shaking and fine straining—making it accessible for home bartenders looking to impress without complicated techniques. The Sage Martini shines as a pre-dinner drink during autumn gatherings or sophisticated dinner parties, though it's equally at home during spring when fresh herbs begin to flourish. Pair this cocktail with dishes featuring mild cheeses, herb-roasted chicken, or apple-based desserts to create a harmonious flavor experience that highlights the sage's aromatic qualities.
