Reviews
This drink is delicious. The lemon, saffron and gin make a great combination. Plus the drink is a beautiful pale orange color. I wouldn’t try it if you don’t really enjoy the flavor of saffron. I made the saffron syrup with a sugar substitute and it was fine. It would be great with Thai or Indian food.
