PEAR & SAGE BEE’S KNEES 🐝 ⇩We always love a pear cocktail during the winter, and this sip shows it off beautifully! thekitchenmccabe mixes our Cucumber Lemon Gin with pear, bergamot, and sage in this mouthwatering Bee’s Knees rendition!

PEAR & SAGE BEE’S KNEES 🍐🌿
◦1½ 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 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!
