This gets a rare 5 stars from us. Incredible bitter orange flavours. Absolutely delicious.

Well, that's pretty special. The marmalade somehow becomes a perfect canvas for the Campari. The drink has a lovely, rich texture and a seriously 'lifted' flavor. Yay. Definitely goes on my faves list.

Wonderful- bittersweet and velvety. I also reduced the marmalade to 2 bar spoons, mine were rather heaping, so probably came out to 4 bsps anyway, lol. To fully incorporate the marmalade, I put all ingredients in a bullet blender for several seconds, then poured over ice in a mixing glass and stirred about 20 secs. Strained into coupe and it came out beautifully, no bits of peel at all.

WOW! Taking the breakfast martini to the next level! INTENSELY bitter sweet. I followed the spec recipe and found it correctly balanced. Serious depth of flavour and not for the faint hearted!

I really liked this. I was worried it was going to be too sweet with the marmalade and sugar syrup (and my wife did say it was very sweet) but with a bitter orange marmalade it felt just right, with the bitterness and the lemon balancing the sweetness well. I loved the viscosity the marmalade and sugar syrup gave too.

This will definitely be added to the list of regulars.

I'm very glad I have a sweet tooth because this is a lot sweeter than you'd think. I'd halve the sugar, if not quarter it.

I don't think you want to cut the marmalade because it's gorgeous.

Chris Dimal 2y

I absolutely agree. I'd maybe even consider cutting the syrup entirely. But never cut the orange marmalade, it's what makes the drink so incredible.

I had some fancy orange/ginger/Chardonnay marmalade in the fridge, so I gave it a whirl, four level(ish) barspoons. Outstanding :)

Jonathan Stephans, you are deffo correct on the Marmalade, we stopped at 6 teaspoons of Bonne Maman marmalade and it took forever to dissolve
2 per drink sounds right
