In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and a few leaves of fresh sage. Bring to a simmer, pressing on the sage with the back of a spoon to release the oils. After a couple of minutes, remove from heat and let cool completely.

To make the greyhounds, combine the grapefruit juice, vodka, and sage simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, and shake until the outside starts to get frosty, about 20-30 seconds. Strain into two martini glasses. Twist a sage leaf over each cocktail to release the oils. Garnish the cocktail with fresh sage. Serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sage Syrup Infusion 🌿
For a more intense sage flavor, gently muddle fresh sage leaves in the syrup while heating to extract maximum aromatic compounds.
Grapefruit Selection 🍊
Choose ripe, ruby-red grapefruits for the most vibrant color and balanced sweet-tart flavor profile in your cocktail.
Ice Quality Matters 🧊
Use large, clear ice cubes to minimize dilution and keep the cocktail's flavor pure and crisp.
Vodka Chill Technique 🍸
Store your vodka in the freezer before mixing to ensure an ultra-cold cocktail without additional ice watering down the drink.
Garnish Like a Pro 🌱
Create an elegant garnish by lightly torching a fresh sage leaf to release essential oils and add a subtle smoky aroma.
