"This sunny, sophisticated drink lived up to my expectations, or lack thereof, as the case may be :) It’s unlike anything I’ve ever had. It’s a nice strong drink, thanks to the cognac, but with a subtle sweet nectar element with the saffron syrup. The saffron isn’t overwhelming, and you probably couldn’t identify it as such, but it adds a nice complexity to the drink. The fresh lemon is the perfect touch." -The View from Great Island
