June 5-Breakfast Martini

I try to be completely unbiased when it comes to these posts, but this one is going to be a challenge. This is mainly because this is my favourite cocktail I have ever tried. It features one of my favourite spirits in gin and it features one of my favourite moves in putting jam in a cocktail. I first saw it in Sasha Petrakse’s Cosmonaut and I have loved the move ever since.

This cocktail was made by Salvatore Calabrese when he fell in love with the taste of an orange marmalade his wife served him for breakfast. He latyer took that jar to his bar The Library and got to work. The final product was very similar to Harry Craddock’s Marmalade Cocktail from his book the Savoy Cocktail Book. I still love this cocktail for all the reasons I mentioned before.
