New England Buck

Combining a sage-juniper syrup with apple cider did the trick, and then he added ginger beer “to remind us in the winter months of the tropics, and also give a flavor that in and of itself is hot.”

4 oz. apple cider
1 oz. sage and juniper syrup
1 oz. fresh lemon juice
2 dashes Regans’ orange bitters
Ginger beer
Ice cubes
Tools: shaker, strainer, barspoon
Glass: highball

Combine all ingredients with ice except the ginger beer and shake briefly to integrate ingredients. Strain into an ice-filled glass and top with ginger beer. Stir and serve.
