Review:

As the name suggests, sage subtly influences this fruity cognac based cocktail served on the rocks. Fruity and easy.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2015 by Dominic Krempels at Archer Street, Soho, London, England. Dominic's original recipe calls for Martell XO cognac and Cocchi Torini vermouth.
