The star of this classy cocktail is a chamomile-infused syrup with a hint of fresh sage. The subtle flavors of sweet, floral chamomile and warm, fragrant sage are the perfect match for the herbal notes in a gin-based martini. Many thanks to the creative mixologists at the community-based restaurant The Kitchen in Boulder, CO for this sophisticated tea-infused sip.
