Tasting Notes

The story of the history of saffron is interwoven with myths. Ovid wrote that Smilax changed her pursuer Crocos into a flower, leaving the red stigma as a symbol of his passion. Another myth describes Hermes, the messenger to the gods, wounding his friend Crocos by accident. Blood dripping from Crocos's head fell on the ground, where Hermes changed it into the flower. Zeus is also said to have slept on a bed of saffron. As much as possible, we source raw materials from local producers. Much of the botanicals and fruits we use in our craft spirits are produced right here in Colorado. By doing so, we reduce our operation’s carbon footprint; locally sourcing raw materials means a shorter distance to travel and thus lesser fuel consumption. It also maximizes our positive impact on the local economy. By purchasing from local businesses, we increase the income of local producers. This, in turn, provides locals with more work opportunities, directly or indirectly increases' locals' spending power (which boosts the local economy even more), and increases the government's tax earnings — the Colorado proud way.

Muddle them together and pour in 60ml Saffron, 30ml lime juice, and 20-30ml sugar syrup, depending on your sweet tooth. Shake well and strain into an old-fashioned glass with a few ice cubes. Garnish with a small sprig of thyme and 1 or 2 raspberries and enjoy. The raspberries create a brilliant contrast to the saffron, while the thyme and fennel complement each other well and strengthen the spirit?s herbal taste slightly.
