I Try an Original Barfly Cocktail - The Sagehen

Today I'm going to try an original Educated Barfly cocktail! This one's called the Sagehen. It's a bright, herbal concoction with rich flavors of honey and apple. I first saw this recipe when Leandro made it over on his channel, and had to give it a shot. Let me tell you, it does not disappoint! Of course the origin story is a bit cloudy - we may never know the truth. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did, and be sure to check out The Educated Barlfy! Cheers!

Special thank you to Leandro and Marius for joining us while visiting Chicago!
