Breakfast Martini

Gin, tea and marmalade. Need I say more?


YOU WILL NEED

(enough for Merv too)

  • 4 shots Bombay Sapphire Gin
  • 2 tea bags
  • 2 shots freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 shot sugar syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 generous teaspoons marmalade

AND TO MAKE

Infuse your gin with the two teabags for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bags once infused, and add the tea-infused gin to your cocktail shaker along with the rest of the ingredients and plenty of ice. Shake hard, until very cold and foamy.


TO SERVE

Pour into two glasses and garnish with finely grated orange zest, or a few drops of orange bitters. Serve with hot buttered toast if you're having one for breakfast!

Marmalade Martini

Really it's a Breakfast Martini, but Marmalade Martini just sounds better.   Like a grown-up cocktail for Paddington Bear.


YOU WILL NEED
(enough for Merv too)

  • 4 shots Bombay Sapphire Gin
  • 2 shots Cointreau
  • 2 shots lemon juice
  • 3 teaspoons marmalade

AND TO MAKE

Add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice and shake.


TO SERVE

Serve in a chilled martini glass.  Garnish if you like with an orange or lemon twist.  Present with or without one of Paddington's very hard stares...
