Toast and Marmalade | Cocktail Party

Toast and Marmalade

We’re perpetually charmed by cocktails that evoke the flavors of foods, and the Toast and Marmalade from Megan Deschaine at The Macintosh is one of our favorite examples.

It’s easy enough to get marmalade in there – a heaping teaspoon is all you need – but what of the toast? Deschaine came up with a blend of bourbon, chocolate mole, and smoky-sweet Drambuie (a scotch-honey liqueur) that absolutely nails it.

If you don’t have smoky chocolate mole bitters (we like Bittermens), regular chocolate bitters still make for a wonderful flavor.

We found it in Imbibe magazine, listed as a brunch cocktail, but it’s equally lovely by the fire on a cold winter day.

Ingredients

Instructions

Vigorously shake all ingredients with ice; you may need a little extra violence to ensure that the marmalade is sufficiently incorporated in the mix.

Strain into an ice-filled short glass, and garnish with sprig of thyme and/or an orange slice.

An awesome cocktail app with curated recipes

I'm shocked that there are no reviews listed for this app. I found it on reddit's cocktails forum. The drink list in this app is much shorter than in many of the other apps I've seen, but the quality and reliability of the recipes is much much higher. These are more like the drinks you would get at a good mixology bar instead of the drink equivalent of your aunt's jello fruit mold that people just "love." I much prefer a list of cocktails that are reliable, good and repeatable than a huge pile of garbage recipes. This app is great and delivers great, reliable cocktails.
