We love herbal simple syrup, and sage is perfect for a cocktail any time of year.
As in the previous post about the Rosemary simple syrup, we covered the great uses for simple syrup. We enjoy using fresh herbs from our garden and the farmer’s market during the summer, and all the variety gives us lots of flavors of syrup that we use in all kinds of drinks and dishes. One of our favorites we grow in our own garden, sage, a perennial evergreen shrub that has stayed fresh even thru the trials of a rather snowy winter.

Sage Simple Syrup
Sage is a very savory flavor, slightly peppery with a hint of cool evergreen that is released when its fuzzy leaves are crushed. This herb works really well with lots of tart flavors like berries, and when infused into a simple syrup, adds a fresh savory herbal quality.
We love to add sage syrup to a number of cocktails like out Blackberry Sage Kentucky Mule or our Sage Advice. Here is our sage simple syrup recipe for you, give it a try and let us know what you think!
What Ingredients are Needed for the Simple Syrup?
- Sage Leaves
- Sugar
- Water
Some tools you may need for this fun recipe are a fine mesh strainer, bottles, jigger, and a funnel.
Can Simple Syrups go bad?
They can get moldy if they sit too long. We encourage you to store it in the fridge in a jar, but for no more than one to two weeks. We actually have a whole shelf of simple syrups in our fridge at any given time!
Cheers!

I just made a white chocolate simple syrup this week! Love the sound of your recipe!
Oh, that sounds so interesting!
This sounds really good – especially in your Blackberry Sage Kentucky Mule. I love Moscow Mules and I love Bourbon, so I know I would love A Kentucky Mule.
Thanks! It is a great combo of flavors, and bourbon is great in anything, haha!
I love making my own simple syrup. You can do so many more flavors than with the store bought stuff!
