History
A riff on the Marmalade Cocktail in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. Created by yours truly in April 2024 at The Clocktower, Rye, England.
MARMALADE COCKTAIL.
Harry Craddock, The Savoy Cocktail Book, 1930
(6 people)
By its bittersweet taste this cocktail is especially suited to be a luncheon aperitif. Place the following mixture in the shaker :
2 Dessertspoonsful Orange Marmalade.
The Juice of 1 big or 2 small Lemons.
4 Glasses Gin.
Shake carefully and pour out, squeezing a piece of orange rind into each glass.
Review
Due to its inclusion of vermouth, this Neo Martini is more befitting the 'Martini' moniker than a standard Breakfast Martini. The name also pays homage to Harry Craddock's Marmalade Cocktail, which inspired this recipe. (And, a proper English breakfast should always be served with an egg. or at least an egg white!)

I made it in the Nutribullet to whizz up the marmalade.
Didn't use egg white, so maybe not as attractive.
Would be nice topped up with prosecco.
