How to Make the Gospel, a Tequila Cocktail That Just Might Save Your Life
In DepthWelcome to Boozinette. This is the Gospel.
- 2 oz tequila
- 3/4 oz lemon juice
- 3/4 oz sage syrup
- 1/2 oz triple sec
- 1 cup sage
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
In a small saucepan bring all ingredients to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer for 5 minutes. Strain, contain, let cool and refrigerate. Use in place of real insight when the yokels get too preachy.
Pour all liquid ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake like a sheep without a shepherd for 10-12 seconds. Fine strain into a martini glass neat. Garnish with a sage leaf and don’t believe the folk in white coats until the man in the white hat hears from the guy with the white beard. Could take a minute, maybe millennia.
