Step 1: In a cocktail shaker, muddle the sage leaves gently to release their flavors.
Step 2: Add the gin (or herbal-infused sparkling water), lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
Step 3: Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
Step 4: Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture.
Step 5: Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
Step 6: If desired, top the cocktail with a splash of club soda (for the alcoholic version) or herbal-infused sparkling water or tonic water (for the non-alcoholic version) for a bit of effervescence.
Step 7: Garnish with a twist of lemon peel and a fresh sage leaf.
Step 8: Serve immediately and enjoy!
