This recipe includes instructions for a quick and stress-free Salted Sage Simple Syrup and a refreshing Paloma cocktail, perfect for holiday gatherings or any festive occasion. The Paloma recipe can easily be scaled to make batches for parties.
For the Salted Sage Simple Syrup: Place 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of honey (or sugar), 4 sage leaves, and 4 tablespoons of salt in a small pot. Boil until the syrup becomes a clear liquid. Drain or pick out the sage leaves and store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one month.
For the Salted Paloma: Combine 1/4 cup of ruby red grapefruit juice, the juice of 1/2 a lime, 1 oz of salted sage simple syrup, and 2 oz of tequila in a glass. Add a splash of sparkling water. Garnish with sage leaves, a lime wedge, or make a salted rim for your glass.
