Breakfast Martini

This world famous cocktail was created in 1996 by bartender, raconteur, former UKBG president, the Maestro, @cocktailmaestro Salvatore Calabrese.

Being of proud Italian descent, Salvatore usually has little more than a swift espresso for breakfast. However one morning, Sue, his English wife, insisted he sit down for breakfast and served up toast and marmalade. The Maestro came up with the idea for his Breakfast Martini while enjoying the tangy preserve covered toast and took the jar to work with him. Later that day, at London 's Library Bar in the Lanes Borough Hotel he perfected his signature cocktail.

The success or failure of this drink is partly reliant on the quality of marmalade used. For ease of use, choose "fine cut" or even "no peel" orange marmalade.

50 ml Ginepraio Gin

15 ml Lemon Juice
