Fresh blueberry, sage & blood orange with Empress 1908 Gin
From Dusty: “My weekend cocktail. The Blue Sage. A basic gin sour with muddled blueberry, blood orange juice and sage.
The gin sour is a classic cocktail that dates back to the mid-19th century. It is believed to have originated as a variation of the traditional whiskey sour, which typically consisted of whiskey, lemon juice, and sugar. The gin sour swaps out the whiskey for gin, resulting in a crisp, refreshing drink. The cocktail rose in popularity during the 1920s and 30s, when gin was a popular spirit in America. Today, the gin sour remains a staple in the world of cocktails. This particular variation has a spike of extra sweetness and an herbal finish, accented by the floral notes of the Empress Gin.”
