1 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Agave Syrup (2:1)
4 leaf Sage (and a 5th one for garnish)
Muddle sage leaves (I did this in the agave syrup). Add the rest of the ingredients, shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe rinsed with Laphroaig Scotch, and garnish with a fresh sage leaf.
For the cocktail hour two Mondays ago, I turned to the Brooklyn Bartender book and found the Hike in the Desert that reminded me a little of the Oaxacan Smash. The Hike in the Desert was crafted by David Sheridan of Brooklyn's Wheated from a description of a drink with sage and Laphroaig Scotch; while he could not work out the drink with the single malt as the base, he was able to concoct this recipe using it as an accent.
