I love pairing unusual suspects like citrus and sage together. Although, it sounds like a great pairing for food, think stuffing for Thanksgiving, however combining this bright cheerful citrus with the earthy herb of sage, this combo you will be captivated with! The earthy taste of sage creates a delightful contrast with sweet and acid citrus flavors. Add in the Veev, which is a versatile and mixable spirit that gives you an all-natural taste of acaí berry. These are quite the trio these three! This kumquat + sage cocktail is a year-round drink, great for those warm spring days and those cold winter nights! Which by the way, hey Spring, can you bring on those warm nights already?!
