Loosely modeled on the classic Paloma, this bubbly sipper adds sage’s herbaceous notes. For those who seek an interesting nonalcoholic beverage, mix the sage simple syrup into grapefruit soda with a squeeze of lime.
Up to 2 hours prior, combine first four ingredients in pitcher. Stir, then refrigerate.
To serve, stir mixture well. Fill pitcher with ice, then stir again gently until pitcher cools. Pour into 8 ice-filled rocks glasses, then top each glass with soda and garnish with a sage leaf. Serves 8.
