Notes & Tips
This is my go-to when the weather turns and I want something that tastes like fall but still goes down easy. The cranberry keeps it tart, the ginger beer brings the bite, and the sage makes it smell like a candle you'd actually want to drink. Ratios matter here: 2 vodka, 2 cranberry, a splash of lime, 3 ginger beer. Want it as a mocktail? Skip the vodka and add another ounce of cranberry juice plus a splash of club soda — still tart, still fizzy, still a crowd-pleaser. Making a batch for a party? Multiply everything by your headcount, mix the vodka, cranberry, and lime in a pitcher, and top each mug with ginger beer individually so it stays fizzy.
