Breakfast Martini
Breakfast Martini is a citrus, fruity and sweet cocktail made with Liqueur and Gin, with moderate flavor complexity.
Ingredients
- 50 ml gin (London Dry)
- 15 ml orange liqueur (recommended: Cointreau)
- 20 ml lime juice
- 1 tbsp orange jam

Method
- Chill a coupe — the drink is served up, with no ice in the glass.
- In a shaker, combine the gin, orange liqueur, lime juice, and orange jam.
- Fill with ice and shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds — the jam needs to dissolve.
- Double strain into the chilled coupe, with no ice.
- Spread orange jam on the toast and rest it on the side of the glass.

What is the bartender tip for a Breakfast Martini?
Salvatore Calabrese, 1996: gin, Cointreau, citrus, and marmalade. Tato goes 50 ml gin, 20 ml lime, and a spoonful of orange jam; the orange liqueur is optional — without it, bump the jam to two spoons. English marmalade (with peel) is the original and brings a bitterness that sweet jam does not have; Queensberry or another orange jam covers at home. Shake hard: jam is denser than syrup. Double strain catches the bits. London Dry; a floral gin disappears behind the orange. Lemon in place of lime pulls the classic (15 ml). The toast with jam is the garnish, not decoration. It is not the Cosmonaut (raspberry jam, no liqueur), the Raspberry Jam Sour (egg white, rocks glass), or the White Lady (triple sec and lemon, no jam).
