WINTER SAGE & PINEAPPLE TEW 🍍🌿
A bright, unexpected tavern refresher that pairs the tropical sweetness of pineapple with the savory, wintery aroma of fresh sage. This "tew" (an old term for a brewed drink) uses sage to ground the acidity of the pineapple, creating a sophisticated botanical blend that feels both exotic and deeply rooted in a hearthside setting.

INGREDIENTS:
* 10mg THC total cannabis tincture
* 4 oz high-quality pineapple juice
* 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
* 1/2 oz sage simple syrup (or plain syrup muddled with sage)
* 3 fresh sage leaves
* 2 oz chilled club soda
* Fresh ice
* Garnish: A fresh sage leaf and a charred pineapple wedge
INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a tavern glass or shaker, place two sage leaves and the simple syrup. Muddle gently just to bruise the leaves and release their aromatic oils.
* Add the pineapple juice, lime juice, and the cannabis tincture (10mg).
* Fill with ice and shake or stir vigorously to chill.
* Strain into a clean tavern glass over fresh ice.
* Top with the chilled club soda.
* Garnish with a fresh sage leaf (slap it between your hands first to release the scent) and a pineapple wedge.
CHEF TIPS:
The Sage: Do not over-muddle the sage or it can become bitter and "grassy." A light bruising is all that is required.
The Char: For an authentic tavern feel, sear the pineapple wedge in a dry pan or with a kitchen torch until the edges are blackened; the smoky aroma pairs beautifully with the sage.
The Texture: If you prefer a frothier drink, shake the juice and syrup without the soda first to create a natural foam from the pineapple proteins.
Serve immediately. Enjoy the Winter Sage & Pineapple Tew responsibly 🍍🌿
