The Buckley

• 20 fresh sage leaves
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 ounce gin
• 1/2 ounce Cocchi Aperitivo Americano or Lillet Blanc
• 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1/4 ounce Campari
• Sage leaf for garnish

1. In a small pot, combine 20 sage leaves, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil then lower heat to moderately low and simmer until aromatic and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Allow syrup to cool, then pour through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the sage. DO AHEAD:
2. In a cocktail shaker, combine 3/4 ounce sage simple syrup with the gin, Cocchi Aperitivo Americano, and lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until completely mixed, about 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled champagne coupe, then slowly add the Campari so that it settles at the bottom of the glass. Garnish with a fresh sage leaf.
