Athena's Council

There's no real back story to this cocktail...just that I got something in my head that I wanted to do a drink with sage.  Blackberry is a natural companion to sage, and I went from there.  The name started as "Wise Council" (which "sage advice" means, of course), and with all the goddess names in my cocktails, it seems as though Athena decided She wanted this one ;-)  I can't blame Her, as it's pretty delicious.
