Cranberry Sage Sparkler

Description

Cranberry Sage Sparkler is designed to be festive without tasting like sweet punch. Gin gives botanical structure, cranberry brings tart red fruit and sage syrup adds a woody herbal note that feels especially good in colder weather.

Lemon keeps the syrup and fruit sharp while prosecco supplies a dry, celebratory finish.

  • 25 ml Cranberry Juice
  • 10 ml Sage syrup
  • 10 ml lemon juice
  • Approx. 75 ml Prosecco, to top

  • Ice
