pomegranate sage martini
recipe from bonefish grill
ingredients
1.5 oz. vodka
1 oz. fresh sage simple syrup
1 oz. pomegranate juice
.25 oz. Cointreau or similar orange-flavored liqueur
1 oz. fresh-squeezed lemon juice
2 dashes Angostura bitters
.5 oz. pasteurized egg whites (optional)
fresh sage simple syrup:
» Bring 6 c. of water to a rolling boil.
» Add 4 c. sugar in the raw (for richer texture) or super fine sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
» Add 10 to 15 fresh sage leaves and let boil for 2 minutes.
» Turn off heat and let cool. Cover and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours.
Note: The sage needs time to infuse throughout the simple syrup, so the longer you infuse, the brighter your flavor will be.
method to mixing:
» Pack a pint glass or a martini shaker with ice.
» Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin, and shake until icy cold.
» Strain into a frozen martini glass.
» Garnish with fresh sage leaf.
