Grapefruit-Sage Cordial

Garnish

Method

Grapefruit-Sage Cordial Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

  2. 2

    Add Grapefruit and Sage

    Once the sugar has dissolved, add the fresh grapefruit juice and sage leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cool and Strain

    Remove from heat and let the mixture cool. Once cooled, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the sage leaves, and transfer the cordial to a bottle. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Cocktail Assembly

  1. 4

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a large pitcher, combine the prepared grapefruit-sage cordial and Aperol. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 5

    Add Prosecco

    Slowly pour in the prosecco into the pitcher and stir gently to combine without losing the fizz.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice (optional) and pour the cocktail mixture over the ice. Garnish with grapefruit slices and fresh sage leaves.
