Thinking of Drinking: RAMMY Nominee -- Dia De Descanso

2 parts saffron and grapefruit syrup
1 part Beefeater 24 Gin
1 part lime juice
3 parts sparkling wine

Ladle from a punch bowl with a 5lb block of ice.  Garnish with limes, grapefruit and mint.

*Lauren's Tip:  You can make the syrup by making a batch of simple syrup and mixing in grapefruit and saffron.  Let it sit in a jar for a few days to bring out the flavor.
