Sage Infused Whiskey

/

Sage is one of the most popular herbs to cook with and is one of the more underused herbs used in cocktails. It has an earthy and pine-like flavor as well as an incredibly fragrant aroma. It even has a citrus quality to it. It's a great Fall herb to infuse your booze with. 

Sage Infused Whiskey recipe:

Makes 1 cup or 8 oz. 

  • 1 cup of whiskey (I recommend rye whiskey, such as Rittenhouse or Bulleit)

  • 6-8 leaves of fresh sage (washed)

  • 1 clean mason jar

  1. Combine ingredients in the mason jar. 

  2. Gently shake jar daily.

  3. Let infuse for 3 to 5 days. Taste daily until desired flavor is reached. 

Sage has a powerful aroma. Be careful not to over infuse. Taste early and often. The final flavor profile should have both sage and whiskey qualities. 

You can use this recipe with other spirits such as gin, vodka, tequila, or scotch.
