We haven't been able to think why this martini is called what it is other than marmalade being in the list of ingredients. Which honestly has subtle bearing on its taste. It's quite light and zesty which one could see being served at brunch or a late sunny summer afternoon. Refreshing, yes! breakfasty... remains to be decided although brunch is what this cocktail is better suited for.
Breakfast Martini
--------------------------------------------------------------
makes 1 martini
1 teaspoon marmalade
ice
50ml gin
15ml Grand Marnier
15ml aperitif wine (like Lillet)
15ml lemon juice
orange zest for garnish
In a cocktail shaker, place the marmalade with ice, stirring to dilute.
Add the rest of the ingredients and shake with more cubed ice for 10 seconds.
Double strain, by using a regular strainer in your cocktail shaker and holding a fine mesh strainer over your glass. Pour through both strainers into a martini coupe glass. Garnish with orange zest.
Have a nice weekend, stay safe and stay warm! - JD
