First cocktail out of edition 17 book. Had them many times before in restaurants, first time made at home. Garnish on the side and the marmalade used was Fortnum & Mason No 62 Orange and Champagne marmalade and on a Peters yard sourdough original cracker as the garnish was superb. Lovely little brunch martini.

Am I missing something? Tastes like boozy diluted orange gin. Will try it with more marmalade, maybe 2 teaspoons. The toast garnish is satisfying.

Made this with orange curd and oh my goodness it works so well. The fat from the curd gives a lovely foam

Mostly tastes like triple sec for me. Maybe not enough orange marmalade? Maybe it's sort of meant to be tasted like that?

Wow! A new favourite. Packs a bitter tangy punch. I used a chunky marmalade and retrieved the chunks from the shaker to add to the glass. I’m inspired to try marmalade with other spirits.

I made this using Malfy Blood Orange Gin and Beerenberg Blood Orange Marmalade. beautiful!

Like drinking stomach acid

This is a wonderful drink however I would implore people to use as good quality marmalade as you can reasonably source. I made this with a blood orange and angostura bitters marmalade and that extra bitterness was just exquisite!
