Description: A deep purple, herbal-fruity mocktail pairing muddled blackberries with fresh sage for an earthy, aromatic drink.
Cultural Background: Reflects the modern mocktail movement's interest in savory herbs alongside fruit, popular at farm-to-table style bars and restaurants.
Tips: Muddle the sage gently — like mint, over-muddling can release bitter notes.
Variations: Swap sage for rosemary for a different, piney herbal note.
Serving Suggestion: Serve tall, over ice, as a sophisticated, herbal-fruity refresher.

FAQs:
Q: Can I use frozen blackberries?
A: Yes — thaw them first for easier muddling; fresh gives slightly brighter flavor but frozen works well year-round.
