1 3⁄4 oz Old Tom Gin, Hayman's (blackberry and sage infused; see Notes)
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄4 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Honey syrup
2 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 Blackberry (as garnish)
2 lf Sage (as garnish)
Instructions
Shake and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a blackberry and two spanked sage leaves.
Notes
To infuse the gin, I put 7 large blackberries and 12 sage leaves in 1 cup of Hayman’s Old Tom gin in a lidded jar, then put the jar in a 135°F bath for a couple of hours. Chill the jar in icewater and taste. I wound up then leaving it to sit overnight (at room temperature) to intensify the infusion. (If pressed for time, or lazy, I’d imagine muddling instead of infusing would be a workable alternative.)
