Really tasty! Light citrus and berry notes that go really well with the gin botanicals and the sage. The sage really ties it all together and it's so creamy from the egg white. I'd make this one again!

A combination of no fresh sage and a surprisingly low yield from my lime led me to replace 1/4 Oz of the lime juice with thyme liqueur. I really enjoyed the result - nicely balanced, with lime and gin coming in at the front, just a hint of blood orange showing up in the mid-palate, and a nice savory finish from the thyme.

Used 5ml homemade sage syrup and 10ml sugar syrup - but then again. I have a sweet tooth and love sage

Followed the recipe exactly though I wasn’t sure about not dry shaking egg whites so ice-shook for a long 35 seconds. Came out luxuriously silky smooth, sweet-but-but-not-too-sweet. Fuchsia with pink foam, which delighted the wife. No sage flavor so maybe I need to ball the leaves before muddling next time.

Agreed. Should have said 'dry shake'. Now corrected.

Was there muddling involved in this before or am I misremembering? Just got a bag of blood oranges and this is number one on my list…

You could muddle sage leaves but if you tear them, use good ice and shake vigorously, then there is no need to muddle the leaves first.

A lot to like in this drink. Quite flavorful, if arguably a bit intense. Suggests more sweetness than it really has. The aftertaste is relatively dry. The color I got was more fuchsia than the light orange in the photo. (2 Feb 2022, 3:43p)

I was just about to comment that my cocktail had a much pinker hue than the photo shown! I wonder if the cocktail in the photo was made without blood orange juice.
