In reply to Christine. Hey Christine, They glasses are called "Spaghetti String Glasses" if you search ebay or etsy you should be able to find them right away. My grandparents used to have a set, so I had to have some nostalgia as you!

I know this is an old post, but I adore the glasses! Reminds me of summers in the 1970s. PERFECT for this cocktail! Do you have a source reference?

I love a gin & sage drink. Totally refreshing!

I think I found it in a magazine because there isn’t a website address on my printed copy which I covet (sheathed in a plastic cover.

3oz gin
1oz elderflower liquore (St. Germain )
1/2 oz lime juice (I always use fresh)
1/2 oz simple syrup (I use store bought)
5-6 sage leaves (I use a combo of green & purple)

Combine in a shaker, add ice, shake until cold. The recipe says to strain into a glass but I just dump the whole thing in. Sometimes, depending on my garden, I will garnish with fresh sage.

In reply to Caitlin. Mmmmm, I love rosemary cocktails too. That sounds de-lish. I might have to try that tonight, I mean, it's still hot out ;)

Delicious! I am drinking it right now- although I used Thyme, mint and rosemary (I don’t have any basil yet) topped it up with some water and more syrup. I’m a lightweight :)
