sea salt, to taste
ice cubes, for serving

Recipe Notes

I think a lot of herbs could work themselves in here nicely--like rosemary, basil, cilantro, or thyme.
Lily recommends tequila, mezcal, gin or vodka if you’re looking to make this into a cocktail.
Also, if you're wondering why my sage looks so gnarly, I used naturally dried leaves from my plants last year :)

The citrus sage tonic is refreshing and adaptable to whatever herbs you might have around. Easily made into a cocktail with spirits too!
