Happy Hour at Felony Bar

 

After dealing with another flat tire today, I’m in need of a powerful cocktail. And I’m thinking that nothing but whiskey is going to suffice.

So here is the cocktail of the week.

 

Blackberry Sage Old Fashioned

6 Blackberries

1 oz Sage (fresh)

1 Sage leaf and blackberry (fresh) for garnish

¾ oz Sage simple syrup

1 cup Granulated sugar

1 Ice, cracked

1-1/2 oz. Bourbon (get the good stuff)

3 dashes Peychaud bitters

1 cup water

 

I like to throw all the liquid ingredients into a shaker with ice to mix everything. Place the blackberries and a sage leaf in a highball glass and muddle. It brings out the flavor of sage and blackberry. Pour in the cocktail mixture, and garnish with a sage leaf and fresh blackberry.

It’s got a good kick but is nice and refreshing, too!
