Breakfast Martini

Created in 1990s London by Salvatore Calabresse, this tangy Gin drink, the Breakfast Martini, is closely related to the Marmalade cocktail from the Savoy Cocktail book of 1930, combined with a twist on the equally classic White Lady cocktail. 

The use of marmalade adds a delightful mouthfeel to these variations on the ‘Sour’ formula. What the Breakfast Martini most definitely is NOT, is a Martini. However, as a drink from the 1990’s, the use of the word Martini was just tagged onto any drink served in a cocktail glass, aka ‘Martini’ glass. You can add Appletinis, Espresso Martinis and the like to this somewhat confusing era of cocktail naming!
