Marmalade Cocktail | Cocktail Party

Marmalade Cocktail

The earliest reference we can find to this wonderful little cocktail is in Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book from 1930.

Craddock recommends it as a pre-lunch apéritif; the fact that lunchtime drinking has declined in recent decades probably explains how this otherwise-wonderful little cocktail has escaped notice for so long.

It’s a wonderful way to taste the true flavors of a marmalade, and you needn’t restrict yourself to just orange. Grapefruit, blood orange, or lemon marmalade would all make fantastic substitutions if you’re lucky enough to have one on hand.

We double-strain ours to remove the bits from the marmalade; some folks like the effect of leaving it in.

Instructions

Get the App

The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It's the best $3.99 you'll ever spend on a drink.

Cocktail Party is so much better

I've tried so many cocktail apps and uninstalled them all after hours of frustration. Cocktail Party is so much better. Beautiful UI, very intelligent suggestions, easy to follow recipes. A winner 100%.
