🥃0

AdInstructions
- Saffron syrup (can be made ahead):
- Simmer 1 dl sugar with 1 dl water until the sugar dissolves.
- Pull off the heat and stir in 0.5 g saffron (one packet).
- Let steep 30 min — or overnight in the fridge for deeper color. Strain into a bottle and keep refrigerated.
- The drink:
- Combine gin, bourbon, lemon juice, saffron syrup, egg white and Angostura in a shaker.
- Dry-shake without ice until the egg white whips into an airy foam.
- Add ice and shake again until the tin frosts on the outside.
- Double-strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.
- Garnish with an orange twist or a few drops of bitters on the foam.
