Saffron Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

The Saffron Gin & Tonic works best for me with a slice of orange in preference to lime or lemon. Also very good in a Negroni with an orange twist again.

Awards for Saffron Gin

A fabulous gin! Makes the best martini on the planet – the Old King Cole! And, hands down, offers the richest, most flavorful gin & tonic too. I’m a big fan of Plymouth, Ford’s, and Beefeater as well – for different reasons. But, Old Raj is simply the best gin anywhere. Period. And it out to be at the price point! But, while it costs twice as much as Aviation, for example, it provides at least five times the flavor. American gin still has a long, long way to go …. Patron Silver, Lost Explorer Mezcal, Charred Pepper Cordial, Lime, Pink Salt, Pink Grapefruit Sherbet, London Essence Soda Place the peel in the bottom of a lidded clean glass jar or bottle and add the gin, using a funnel if it’s easier. Leave in a dark place for the flavours to develop; this can take from 1–3 weeks. Generally, once the peel has turned white, all its flavour has been infused.

The Cornish traded their tin for Spanish saffron. It is then thought to have been grown in England around Bude. Hence the beautiful Cornish saffron bread and buns. A lovely story says that a pilgrim smuggled a saffron corm into England hidden in his hollow staff. Saffron growing became widespread in Essex and also Suffolk and Norfolk. Chipping Walden even changed its name to Saffron Walden. Want to indulge in some luxury? Now, not only can you enjoy the juniper-flavoured goodness of gin, but saffron has also been added into the mix. Saffron is so fragrant that even the smallest amount is enough to transform a recipe. Used mainly in Indian and other Asian cuisines, the spice is reserved for only the finest dishes and is extremely expensive. The spice isn?t just simply thrown in for good measure; its use is carefully thought out and calculated. Saffron Gin, as you may have already guessed, contains this heavenly spice, but also contains many other top-quality botanicals. Joining the classic juniper berries, and not to forget the saffron, the gin also contains fennel, coriander, both lime and lemon peel, and angelica root. This winning combination of fine ingredients makes a premium gin which will excite your taste buds.

Additionally, approximately 70% of all beers produced in Colorado come from Fort Collins.
