Sage Mojito

While mint is the main ingredient that gives the Mojito its "mojo," a few sprigs of sage will turn this Latin favorite into a tasty Thanksgiving cocktail.

Ingredients

• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 mint leaves
• 2 sage leaves and 1 sage sprig for garnish
• 1 oz. simple syrup (recipe below)
• 2 oz. light rum
• Club Soda

Directions

• Add juice, mint, sage and syrup into a tall glass. Crush mint and sage using the back of a spoon or a muddler. Fill glass with crushed ice and add rum. Fill remainder of glass with club soda and stir. Garnish with a sage sprig.

Simple syrup: combine equal amounts of sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat until boiling and sugar has dissolved. Cool and transfer into a cruet or bottle.
