In a cocktail shaker, combine the Scotch, Drambuie, lemon juice and egg white and shake well. Add ice and shake again. Strain into a chilled collins glass. Slowly pour in the lemon soda and garnish with the clove and saffron.

Schweppes and Fever-Tree make high-quality, widely available bitter lemon sodas.
