  • Ingredients:
  • 2 oz London dry gin
  • 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 0.75 oz saffron simple syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • Ice for shaking
  • Garnish: saffron threads or edible flower optional

Method
 

  1. Add gin, lemon juice, saffron syrup, and egg white to a shaker (no ice).
  2. Dry shake for 10 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
  3. Add ice and shake again for 15 seconds until well chilled and frothy.
  4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  5. Garnish with a few saffron threads or an edible flower if desired.

Notes

  • To make saffron syrup: Steep a pinch of saffron threads in 1/2 cup hot water for 10 minutes, then mix with 1/2 cup sugar until dissolved. Cool before using.
  • For a vegan option, use aquafaba (chickpea water) instead of egg white — use 1 oz for a similar texture.
