My sage plant is gangbusters this year. So since you’re talking herbs and gin I can recommend: in a shaker pour 2 ounces Hendricks, 1 ounce St. Germain elderflower, 1 ounce grapefruit juice, three fresh sage leaves. Shake with ice. Strain and top with a little mineral water or Trader Joe’s elderflower lemon soda.
The 10 thyme smash: I had to substitute Trader Joe’s cranberry juice, which is red and unsweetened. So I added some simple syrup. The result is good, not as subtle but tasty and pretty.
