Golden Gin Fizz

by Jonathan Di Vincenzo

Behind the golden color of Au79 are the winds of the Mediterranean, blowing from the shores of Europe to the East to uncover the scents of silk and the finest saffron stigmas, culminating in a finish of fresh, delicately spiced notes. To best express them, Jonathan Di Vincenzo has developed a twist on a classic Gin Fizz.

Ingredients

• 4 cl oz Au79
• 3 cl of fresh lemon juice
• 1 bar spoon of white sugar
• 10 cl of Seltz
• Fresh cream

GARNISH

• Citron peel
• Saffron stigmas

Execution

The cocktail is made using the Shake & Pour technique with 3 cl of fresh lemon juice, a bar spoon of white sugar, 4 cl of Au79, and completed with 10 cl of Seltz.

To garnish the cocktail, Jonathan Di Vincenzo created a foam by placing fresh cream, a few drops of RumRunners Overproof 69°, and citron peel into a siphon. The foam was then decorated with saffron stigmas.
