Colorful Cocktails

Saffron’s reach extends into modern cocktail development. Its subtle complexity adds an intriguing layer to innovative drinks, introducing striking color while deepening the flavor story. From golden threads infusing a gin and tonic or whiskey sour, saffron brings the ability to complement both sweet and savory flavors, making it a versatile ingredient for mixologists. As example, look to Dante, a world-renowned bar in New York. Its Fluffy Margarita Royale blends saffron with Olmeca Altos tequila, Pierre Ferrand dry curaçao, lime juice, clementine and prosecco. Margaritas are a safe pathway for innovation—adding saffron to this beloved build breathes new life into the familiar.
