Blackberry Sage Syrup was originally developed for a dessert called the Wise Guy – imagine a sweet almond crepe filled with vanilla pastry cream and topped with fresh blackberries, fried sage and blackberry sage syrup. (Yeah, it's delicious.) We liked the syrup so much that we began incorporating it in many of our crafty cocktails, like the Midnight Smash.
