Recipe Tips
- Use agave nectar instead of sage syrup and muddle fresh sage directly in the shaker.
- Replace club soda with ginger ale for a spicier, sweeter finish.
- Substitute lemon juice for lime if you prefer a sharper, brighter citrus note.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Multiply the juice and syrup portions by your guest count in a large pitcher; add the club soda and ice only when serving to maintain carbonation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use canned pineapple juice?
While fresh is best for flavor, a high-quality canned pineapple juice works well; just ensure it is unsweetened to maintain the recipe's balance.
How long does the sage syrup last?
The sage-infused simple syrup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
What if I don't have a juicer for the cucumber?
You can simply muddle 3-4 thick slices of cucumber in the bottom of your shaker before adding the other liquid ingredients.
