Raspberry Collider

Free Spirits' The Spirit of Gin provides the base for a refreshing fruity and herbaceous Raspberry Collider. Mint and tarragon leaves combined with the tartness of the muddled berries and the subtle depth of the gin to form a surprisingly lethal combination.

  • 0.5 oz lemon juice
  • 0.5 oz honey saffron syrup*

*HONEY SAFFRON SYRUP

Start with a 1:1 honey simple syrup by combining equal parts honey and water and stir until the honey has fully dissolved. Then add a small pinch of saffron threads (about 5-10 threads per 1/2 cup honey and 1/2 cup water) Let the saffron steep in the honey syrup for at least a few hours, then strain out the saffron and store the syrup in a covered container in the refrigerator.
