PEAR & SAGE BEES KNEES 🌿⇩ Sweet pear, fragrant sage, and a drizzle of honey make this the ultimate December drink! Cozy up with this wintery twist on the Bees Knees by thekitchenmccabe 💚
 
Hosting hack: This recipe is a total crowd-pleaser, so whip it up ahead of time and serve at your next gathering. Simply multiply the specs by your number of guests, and voilà!
 
PEAR & SAGE BEES KNEES:    
◦1 oz Empress 1908 Cucumber Lemon Gin
◦½ oz Bergamot Liqueur   
◦½ Lemon (juiced)
◦¼ oz Honey Sage Syrup*
◦½ Green Pear (ripe), chopped
◦¼ Cucumber, chopped
◦Sage Leaf, to garnish  
 
METHOD: Place the gin, bergamot liquor, lemon juice, honey sage syrup, pear, and cucumber in a blender and process until the pear is broken down into very small pieces (do not blend until smooth). Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract all liquid. Add liquid to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake for 30 seconds. Pour into a coupe glass. Garnish with a sage leaf and enjoy!
 
*To make the the honey sage syrup, add ⅔ cup water and ½ cup honey to a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Smack ¼ cup of sage leaves (this helps release the oils– a rolling pin works great for this) and add to the liquid. Remove from heat. Once cooled, strain out the sage leaves, bottle, and refrigerate for up to two weeks.
 
Sip responsibly!
