Gabriel Boudier's Saffron Gin

"Gabriel Boudier is a leading micro distiller in Dijon France with a reputation for fine spirits since 1874. Saffron Gin is a unique recipediscovered in the annals of France's colonial past when England and France both claimed India as their jewel and gin rich in exotic botanicals was the fashion. This handcrafted, small batch distilled gin is made from the finest natural botanicals, in addition to the Saffron which gives a delicately spicy character, the recipe has Juniper, Coriander, Lemon, Orange Peel, Angelica Seeds, Iris and Fennel, creating one of the most complex and memorable gins distilled today. Enjoy Saffron Gin on the rocks or with Tonic."

With this gin, I made one of the most unexpected delight one can imagine. I basically took all the most peculiar spirits I had to make a very ori-gin-al, yet delicious concoction:
  • 4cL Saffron Gin
  • 1cL Fernet Branca
  • 1cL Bénédictine
  • 3 dashes Dr. Almedgirab's Christmas Bitters
Shake all ingredients with ice all strain in a chilled cocktail glass.

I was prepared to drink an atrocious medicine and it ended up being a very good revelation. And I'm not a fan at all of Fernet Branca.

40% ABV. Read more on Gabriel Boudier website.
