Instructions

Step 1: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Pour in 2 oz vodka, 1 oz fresh cucumber juice, 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice, and 3/4 oz sage-infused simple syrup.
Step 2: Shake vigorously for 12 seconds until the shaker is frosty cold.
Step 3: Strain into a chilled Collins glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
Step 4: Top with 2 oz club soda and stir gently with a bar spoon to blend without losing fizz.
Step 5: Garnish by twisting a fresh sage leaf between your fingers to release aroma and placing it on top, then add a thin cucumber ribbon curled inside the glass for visual appeal.
