Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Infuse the Saffron

    In a small bowl, combine the saffron threads with 2 tablespoons of warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the saffron to release its color and flavor.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the Citadelle Gin, fresh lemon juice, orange blossom honey, and the saffron infusion. Add ice to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake Well

    Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and combine all flavors thoroughly.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Carefully layer the whey on top by pouring it over the back of a spoon to create a beautiful presentation.
