Review

Orange marmalade justifies the 'breakfast' prefix and adds complexity to this gimlet.

Hmm. A bit disappointing. It just tasted like a Breakfast-tini, with barely any lime cordial coming through. Quite middle of the road.

I am surprised at the quantity of gin - it makes for a very potent cocktail. One to choose if you like a citrusy drink.
The calorie guide cannot be correct however as 3 x 25ml gin equals 186 calories alone - add on to that 2 tsps of marmalade (32 assuming you use a level tsp, which you probably won’t!) and the lime cordial and you’re already around 230 cals at least

I make it roughly 200kcal plus the marmalade. The "spoon" measure is causing the issue as not a precise volume for our cleaver site to use in the calculation. Hence, so as not misleading, I've asked for kcal to be removed.
