"The Breakfast Martini might sound like an oxymoron but this modern classic isn’t just reserved for the morning.."
How to make ...
Breakfast Martini
A harmonious mixture of gin, lemon, triple sec and marmalade. The Breakfast Martini is a delicious and simple drink full of citrus and sweet orange flavours, with a hint of bitterness.
Method
Chill your martini glass in the freezer or fill it with ice.
Take your Boston glass or small tin and, using your jigger to measure, add the Gin, lemon juice and triple sec syrup to the shaker
Using your bar spoon, add one or two spoonfuls of marmalade to the shaker.
Fill your shaker with cubed ice and seal with Boston tin or lid, before shaking vigorously for 10-15 seconds or until your tin is very cold.
Remove your glass from the freezer or empty of ice if necessary.
Using your Hawthorne strainer and your fine strainer, double strain the cocktail into your chilled martini glass.
Garnish with an orange twist.
Serve and enjoy!

History
The drink was created at the Lanesborough Hotel in 1996 by Salvatore Calabrese. The structure of the drink is a White Lady. A Marmalade Martini appears in Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book. Similar in construction, Craddock didn’t use triple sec in his version. Calabrese maintains the inspiration for his drink came solely from his marmalade breakfast.
The story of the breakfast martini’s creation, unsurprisingly, started at breakfast. Being what he calls typically Italian, Salvatore’s breakfast would usually consist of a shot of espresso before leaving for work. One morning his wife forced him to eat something, claiming he looked more tired than usual, she made him marmalade on toast. He went to work that day with the idea of using the ingredients in a drink.

The Breakfast Martini might sound like an oxymoron but this modern classic isn’t just reserved for the morning.
This dry and balanced, citrusy gin drink is a great addition to a gin based menu or a fantastic inclusion for those planning a brunch time bar hire.
The Breakfast Martini is a gorgeous gin sour sweetened with marmalade, a perfect option for gin enthusiasts looking to try something a little more unusual than the average gin classic, but still packed with flavour and sophistication.
This gin drink is short and strong so if you’re featuring it on your menu you may want to include some longer, lighter options like a Tom Collins or a South Side Fizz: a gin sour flavoured with mint and topped with soda to make a long refreshing springtime drink.
If you want to serve a brunch inspired menu at your bar hire The Breakfast Martini is a great choice and would go fantastically alongside other brunch Classics like the Mimosa; a mixture of fresh orange juice and champagne, or even a Bloody Mary or other Snapper cocktails.
If you’re interested in serving the Breakfast Martini as part of your cocktail menu and want to know more about what drinks might pair well with it, be sure to speak to your event organiser about your options or check out some other gin based, Martini-style and sour-style cocktails from our list.

Hello, guys. Sasā here from TT Liquor. Today, we teamed up with our good friends from Devil’s Botany Gin, who are just literally up the road. And for that reason, we went with a modern classic, which is called the Breakfast Martini. And the reason why we chose Devil’s Botany Gin, which is a mouthful indeed, is because it has those beautiful citrus notes, and it’s a little bit juniper heavy. So it’s going to be just delicious. So have fun with the video.
Hi, guys. It’s Kay, I’m back here at TT Liquor, and today I’m going to be showing you how to make one of my favourite classic gin cocktails, which is a Breakfast Martini.
The first thing I’m going to do is chill down a glass, ready to put it in when I’m finished making it. I’ve got these lovely big coupettes, I’m just going to fill one of these with crushed ice, and sit that to one side while I make the cocktail.
And the first ingredient I need is some gin. Now, you can use pretty much any gin in this drink, but we’ve chosen this really lovely Devil’s Botany, which is a gin which is locally distilled right here in East London by some friends of ours. And I want 35ml of my gin, so I’ll just measure that out.
Now, the next ingredient going in is going to be some triple sec or orange liqueur. We’ve gone with the classic, which is Cointreau, and we want 15ml of our triple sec. And I want 25ml or one shot of my lemon. And I’d say we want a nice big spoonful of our marmalade. I’m going to get a nice big scoop of it and pop it in there with my other ingredients.
Now all we need to do is fill this up with some cubed ice. So I’m going to take my big tin, pop that on top, give it a big old smack to seal it. And we’ll give that a nice shake for about 10 to 15 seconds. Ready? Here we go.
All right, beautiful. So I’m going to crack this open. And I’m just going to strain the drink through both of those into this glass. And then finally, for a garnish on this guy, I’m just going to do some orange peel. So I’ve got an orange here. A nice long orange twist. Twist that over the glass to expel some of those oils. And we’ll just pop that over on the edge of the glass there. And that is our breakfast martini, ready to drink.
