Sage has been used as a culinary herb since ancient times. It is native to Europe and Asia and is now grown worldwide. In addition to its use in cooking, sage has also been used medicinally. It contains volatile oils that have antibacterial properties. These oils help relieve pain and inflammation. Ginger is another popular spice that comes from the tropical plant Zingiber officinale. It is native to Southeast Asia and India. Ginger is often added to food and drinks because of its spicy flavour. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Ginger helps reduce nausea and vomiting caused by motion sickness, morning sickness during pregnancy, and indigestion.

What You’ll need

You’ll need a few tools to make the Sage & Ginger Cocktail at home. A shaker is used to mix ingredients together, while a strainer is used to remove any solid particles from the drink. An easy way to serve cocktails at parties is to consider serving them in martini glasses. They’re small enough to fit easily into any party setting, and they make it easier to pour drinks without spilling.

Use Plenty Of Ice

You’ll find that people who enjoy drinking cocktails often prefer to use ice cubes rather than crushed ice. This is because crushed ice tends to melt faster, making it harder to measure out the right amount of liquid.
