Molasses-Bourbon Sour

Directions

1. For the Apple Cider Ice Cubes, pour cider into standard ice cube tray. Freeze until frozen.
2. For the Sage-Molasses Syrup, mix molasses, water and sage in small saucepan. Bring to simmer on medium heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand 10 minutes. Strain through fine sieve. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled. (This makes enough syrup for 4 cocktails.)
3. For each cocktail shaker of Molasses-Bourbon Sour, fill cocktail shaker with 2 cups of the cracked ice. Add 1/2 cup of the apple cider, 1/4 cup of the bourbon, 1/4 cup of the Sage Molasses Syrup and 1/4 cup of the lemon juice; shake until well mixed and chilled. Place apple cider ice cubes into each of 2 beverage glasses. Strain cocktail mixture into glasses. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 4 cocktails.
