Blackberry Sage Company

Blackberry and sage give this a darker, earthier character than a typical berry fizz. The fruit brings sweetness and tartness; sage adds an almost savory aroma. A small leaf goes a long way, particularly if it sits in the glass for a while. Press the berries first and handle the herb gently. It’s an interesting option when you want something fruity that doesn’t immediately remind you of a sweet berry soda.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Sparkling water
• 1/4 cup Blackberries
• 1 leaf Sage

Make it

1. Add any fruit, herbs, spices, or syrup to a glass and gently press to release flavor.
2. Add the still liquids and ice. Stir to combine.
