Witch’s Blood

This has a fairly complex flavor courtesy of the sage.

Witch’s Blood
(makes one drink)

1 1/2 oz. vodka
1 1/2 oz. pomegranate juice
scant 1/2 oz. triple sec
scant 1/2 oz. sage cordial (or other herbal liqueur)

Shake everything together with ice and strain into martini glass.

It seems only fitting for a Halloween drink that a central ingredient comes from a recipe courtesy of Gourmet (R.I.P.). I doubled the amount of sage in the recipe to stengthen the flavor.

If anyone’s interested, my band, Hastings Refrigerator Company, just put up recent recordings on Reverbnation. We’re likely (hopefully) playing the Grog Shop in December.
