The Saffron Sunrise is a bright and airy cocktail that's perfect for sipping on a sunny morning. The gin provides a crisp base, while the saffron-infused simple syrup adds a subtle yellow color and a hint of earthy sweetness. A squeeze of fresh lime juice brings everything together, and the sparkling water gives it a lively effervescence.
