English Marmalade (a.k.a. Hawksmoor Marmalade Martini)

The addition of bitter liqueur and aromatic bitters to the classic 1930 recipe from The Savoy Cocktail Book, lifts the Marmalade Cocktail to a new level...

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.

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

Lovely recipe. Thankyou. I definitely didn't need the extra sugar. Even without it was sweet.

Finally got it right (too much marmalade first couple of times). Fantastic with 2 level teaspoons of marmalade (IMO). New favourite
