Smashed Blackberry Sage Spritz

Spritz, according to Talia Baiocchi, co-author of the recently published bar book on the
subject, isn't just a cocktail. It's a way of life. It's more than the sum of its bitter and bubbly parts—it's a moment during the day to just take a minute, take a sip, and sit back. 

Serves 1

• 1 to 2whole fresh blackberries
• 3 to 4fresh sage leaves
• 2ounces Suze
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1dash simple syrup (1:1 water to sugar)
• Prosecco, to top

1. Lightly muddle the blackberries and sage at the bottom of a mixing glass, and top with Suze, lime juice, and simple syrup.
2. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds, and then strain into a wine glass over ice.
3. Top with prosecco, about 3 ounces, and garnish with sage and/or blackberries if you'd like.
