Questions

What is Blackberry Sage Smash?

Can I make Blackberry Sage Smash without alcohol?

The alcohol here is 2 oz bourbon whiskey. Replace a base spirit with the same volume of a zero-proof spirit, or with chilled tea or tonic for bite; replace sparkling wine with sparkling water and a squeeze of citrus. Keep every other line as written, and expect a lighter, sweeter drink, since alcohol also carries bitterness and body.
