Servings:

Start by infusing the saffron: combine the saffron threads with maple syrup and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
In a separate container, stir together the orange juice, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add this mixture to the saffron infusion and stir well.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the saffron-orange-pumpkin mixture with the vodka and aquafaba.
Shake vigorously until the mixture is frothy and well-chilled.
Rub the inside of your glass with a fresh orange peel to release the citrus oils, enhancing the flavor of the drink.
Pour the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass.
Top with a pinch of cinnamon and garnish with the orange peel for an aromatic finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, layered flavors of this elegant cocktail.

Use freshly squeezed orange juice for the best balance of citrus brightness.
Let the saffron steep in the maple syrup for at least 5 minutes to fully infuse its flavor.
Aquafaba is a great plant-based substitute for egg whites, creating a stable frothy top.
