The Blackberry Sage Fizz is a complex and captivating highball that balances bright fruit with herbal depth. This vibrant cocktail marries the botanical complexity of Watershed Gin with the bittersweet earthiness of Averna Amaro, layered over a house-made blackberry sage syrup. A generous dash of tropical Polynesian Kiss Bitters adds an unexpected, sunny brightness, while a top of crisp sparkling wine elevates the entire experience. It’s an irresistibly refreshing gin cocktail—perfect for sipping year-round.
Prep: Gather all ingredients. Combine the gin, amaro, blackberry sage syrup, lemon juice, and Polynesian Kiss Bitters into a cocktail shaker.
Mix: Fill the shaker with fresh ice.
Shake: Seal the shaker and shake vigorously until the mixture is thoroughly chilled and properly diluted.
Serve: Double strain the mixture over fresh ice into a chilled highball glass, leaving a small amount of room at the top. Top with a float of sparkling wine (Cava).
Garnish: Express the oils from a generous lemon peel twist over the drink, then place the twist on the rim or in the drink as a final aromatic flourish.
